car stereo wars to play lollapalooza!

April 22, 2009

Yesterday the 2009  Lollapalooza lineup was released and it is with great pride that we announce that our very own Car Stereo (Wars) will be rocking Chicago right alongside Lou Reed, Beastie Boys, and The Killers.  Check out what Lolla has to say about him : “Austin, Texas-based mash-up DJ Chris Rose performs as Car Stereo (Wars) throughout the city’s trendiest dance spots, where he delivers a pop culture buffet by pulling together interesting, high-energy song combinations that keep the hipsters on their feet. As the Austin American-Statesman described him, “Car Stereo (Wars) is Austin’s one-man Big Bang, building up and breaking down multi-verses with ease.” Drawing inspiration from mash-up maestros like Girl Talk, his full-length album, 2007’s The Bandit, is the perfect party-starter — better than anything your iPod shuffle can dish out on its own”
