Why Water Isn't Better Than thenewno2

Lollapalooza was so hot this year (how hot was it?) I had to miss most of a band I wanted to see. That band being thenewno2 led by Dhani Harrison son of Beatle. Doing a midday show at about the peak of the heat was unfortunate. Although I had been waiting to see them all day, the thought of an ice cold, life satisfying, delicious beer made much more sense. Drinking that beer and sitting in the shade with my shirt stuck to my back with sweat was amazing. Not so amazing was then standing in a 15 minute line to fill up a collection of water bottles at one of the refill stations. Although, we could just faintly hear thenewno2, I knew my chance to see them was fading.

After bringing much needed bottles of water to the rest of the group, Amy and I booked it over to the stage. Being a smaller stage we were able to sneak right up to the front. From there you could see how much Dhani looks like his father. It was disappointing that they were on one of the smaller (smallest) stages at lolla as they should have more of a following than they do.

Despite best efforts, the need to sustain life prevented us from seeing more than a handful of tracks. Wonderful tracks. A really unique sound that shows that this band knows what they are doing

Also, thenewno2 released their second album, Thefearofmissingout, on July, 31 of this year. The first single was "Make It Home."

If I remember correctly, this was their closing number.
