Rocktober: October 1, 2014
Again, last year W♥M covered a record-breaking 46 shows in October!
LILY ALLEN at Skyway Theatreskywaytheater.com
UK’s Lily Allen is touring the US in support of her latest album Sheezus (Regal, Parlophone). Her semi-recent tour (August) with Miley Cyrus featured an accidental nip slip, which Allen actually just laughed it off. Haha, let’s hope she wears that outfit on this upcoming tour…
Opening up for Allen will be New York trio Lolawolf, featuring singer Zoë Kravitz (daughter of Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet) and Jimmy Giannopoulos and James Levy (both from the NY band Reputante). Lolawolf is currently signed to Cult Records, the label own and operated by
Julian Casablancas (Strokes).
