Episode 288: Lollapalooza Part 3 with Malik Flint (bLAck pARty) and Eric Ojeda and Charlie Baird of benches
Description
I’m capping off the Lollapalooza Series with today’s Part 3 from Chicago’s Grant Park, including interviews with first-timers Malik Flint of bLAck pARty, along with Evan Ojeda and Charlie Baird of San Diego rock band benches.
Malik is an LA-based artist originally from Arkansas (hence the LA and AR of bLAck pARty), who for over a decade now has been creating compelling beats mixing funk, afrobeats and hip hop with a dash of country and R&B. The excitement of this young artist has been on full display and he’s cultivated a working relationship with Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino as well as Issa Rae. His latest album, The Last Dance, is out there now!
Evan Ojeda and Charlie Baird are childhood pals and now make up one-half of the band benches. First timers at Lolla, these guys bring the SoCal energy to the festival. Their latest effort, an EP entitled “Kill The Lights” has put them on the map as a force in the glam rock world, and I’m excited for what’s in store for this fun and super talented band from California!
