Maybe Lollapalooza's "Last Band Standing" contest should change its name. For the second year in a row, there are no bands in the contest. Like last year, the contestants are DJs. There have been no bands since 2008 when The Melismatics won a spot at Lolla. The winners last year, Punky Fresh & DJ Pasha, yes, there were two DJs standing at the end, played on first thing in the AM on Perry’s stage, one per day.
This year, it's a DJ remix contest. They have knocked down 500 contestants to four finalists, Craig Williams, DJ White Shadow, Lucky Date, and Professor Purple. The final selection will be made August 1st, when they will battle it out live at Double Door. And below, through the magic of embedded MP3 players, you can sample all four DJs before you head out to Double Door for the show. My vote is for Professor Purple. The show is FREE, but you should go early, there will be a big crowd.
There are also some nice prizes...
