Lollapalooza Interview: The Gaslight Anthem The Gaslight Anthem

The Gaslight Anthem arrived in Chicago just in time to catch the now infamous “Lollapocalypse” storm of 2012 that swept over the city and prompted the evacuation of Lollapalooza on Saturday, August 4th. On the following day, Lost In Concert sat with drummer Benny Horowitz behind the Google Play stage where the band had unleashed a killer set to a huge audience just an hour before. We talked about positive buzz, negative reviews and at least one reason why he dislikes Ashton Kutcher.



“We landed about half an hour before the storm hit,” says Horowitz. “Our Tour Manager Scotty picked us up in a van. We started driving and about 5 minutes into the drive, it just went black. We heard they were about to evacuate and we were just driving, checking out the storm. It was pretty fucking crazy; black and windy and lightning. It was pretty cool actually, but I felt bad for the people here at Lolla.”

Ah yes, the mass of loyal music lovers who were unexpectedly herded into the streets of downtown Chicago due to the storm warning – many of whom dared to return that same evening or next day to the muddy swamp that Grant Park had become – all in the name of seeing great bands like The Gaslight Anthem tear up a Lollapalooza stage.
