My name is Leigh and I have an entire drawer of concert t-shirts. (Here's where you say, in unison, 'hi Leigh.') I've been trying to cut back and only buy things I'll feasibly wear but......

Teen Vogue's own Liz Higgins is back for another concert report. This time, she's got the scoop on a recent Emily Haines (Metric) concert in Brooklyn. Take it away, Liz! "A few Sundays ago at...

Congratulations are in order for one of my favorite bands. Manchester band Elbow edged out Radiohead, Laura Marling, Adele, Estelle, Burial, and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss for the esteemed Mercury Music Prize last night....

So last night was the 25th anniversary VMAs. And it seemed a little lackluster to me. First, let me say that I am a giant fan of Russell Brand. (I listen to his BBC...

Politics, in its intense and heated splendor, can instigate some powerful music. (See... everyone from Peter, Paul, and Mary to Rage Against the Machine) And, with election season in full swing, a lot of musicians...

Here's another dispatch from concert reporter (and art department assistant) Liz Higgins! "Last week I ventured over to Santos Party House here in NYC (which is owned by Andrew W.K! Heart!) to see the...

Singer Delta Goodrem is only 23 years old but she's already outsold the Beatles in her homeland, Australia. (Good job, Delta!) "In This Life" is the first single from her just-released self-titled album and...

Do you like Colbie Caillat's songs "Bubbly" and "Realize"? If so, you're already a fan of Jason Reeves' work. Jason, 23, is a singer-songerwriter  who met Colbie on his second day of living in...

I woke up on Sunday, ready to make the most of the third and final day of Lollapalooza. I started my day with Kid Sister's main stage performance. Kid Sister (real name Melissa Young) is...

Sunday, 8 p.m. I'm sitting in the grass getting ready for Trent Reznor to hit the stage and I figured this'd be a good time to send out a blog about Lollapalooza weekend so far....

I'm sitting in the backstage media area at Lollapalooza in Grant Park and Star Wars music is cranking from the main stage speakers. I guess this is like the opening ceremony music! It's nearly 11:30...

Good morning blog readers. Today, I'm heading westward to Chicago for Lollapalooza. Everything starts tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll be able to send at least one update before the weekend, but check back here at the...
