Lollapalooza can be a bit of a sausage fest – at least on the stage. So we’re looking back at last week’s hottest female performers. We think you’ll develop a renewed interest in emerging artists … starting with Iggy Azalea, the 24-year-old Australian, looking “Fancy.”
NONONO’s not just your girlfriend’s favorite expression; it’s also a Swedish pop band featuring angelic Stina Wäppling vocalizing something awesome.
Next up? Francisca Valenzuela. She became popular in Latin America in 2007, and after a couple platinum albums in Chile made her mark in the U.S. of A. at SXSW.
Hannah Hooper from Grouplove’s become as famous for her bodysuits as she has for her vocals.
Another Hannah, this one Reid, brings the sound (and mesh tops) to London Grammar.
Jenny Lewis is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actress. Fun fact? She’s not only performed in a dozen teen-themed flicks, she’s also been on a Jell-O commercial, and had bit parts on both “The Golden Girls” and “Mr. Belvedere.”
We thought the Internet hated Jhené Aiko because “the worst” immediately follows her name in a Google search. But that’s just the name of a song of hers that rose to number one this year. We need to get out more.
Kate Nash is a singer, songwriter and activist from the U.K. She also has wings, and eyes for boobs.
Krewella is a dance music trio from Chicago; Jahan Yousaf and Yasmine Yousaf bring the sexy along to the tunes. It does not appear that anyone in this band bathes with frequency.
Lauren Mayberry‘s an adorable Scottish songstress for electronic band Chvrches. Before that she was a serious journalist.
Nope, that’s not a split-screen. Brooklyn Indie Pop band Lucius features Jess Wolfe (lead vocals and synth) and Holly Laessig (lead vocals and keys), and was dubbed by Rolling Stone as “the best band you may not have heard yet.”
Lykke Li is the Swedish Indie break-out that’s tambourine-ing her way onto the global stage. Just not at this very moment.
You may not know Noelle Scaggs by looking at her, but you’ve definitely heard her. During her 15 years in the business she’s worked with The Black Eyed Peas, Damian Marley and performed at this year’s Lolla with Fitz and the Tantrums.
The performance by Perry/Etty vs Joachim Garraud featured Etty Lau Farrell, who you may recognize from “Married to Rock,” as she’s married to Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction.
Phantogram is a duo that performs “street beat and psych pop,” with Sarah Barthel on vocals and keyboard. The dude in the band’s her best friend from junior high. Awwwww.
Warpaint formed in 2004 and has worked with, opened for, collaborated with and covered just about everyone in modern music. Meet Emily Kokal, Theresa Wayman, Jenny Lee Lindberg and Stella Mozgawa.
Courtney Barnett‘s another spark plug from Australia; she formed her own record company to release her first EP two years ago, and here she is on the big stage.
Delta Rae’s a band from Durham, N.C., with five members. But you’ll be most interested in asking Brittany Holljes and Elizabeth Hopkins out for drinks. Just be warned: Brittany’s two brothers are also in the band.
The Airborne Toxic Event’s a band from LA that features Anna Bulbrook on violin, tambourine and vocals.
Let’s get a little Indie for a moment, shall we? Charity Rose Thielen does vocals and violin for Seattle’s The Head and the Heart.
