Good thing Lollapalooza isn’t a geometry festival
About seven years ago Adam Busch formed a band in Charlottesville and dubbed it Manishevitz in honor of the Kosher wine that tastes like Robitussin. Today, the “metromix” section of the Chicago Tribune online heralds the band’s invitation to Lollapalooza. Now living in Chicago, Busch sells records by day and plays guitar for the six-member band by night. The band’s sound has evolved from its early emo days, Busch says. “We try and work more with melody and harmony, and how full we can make the sound come across between the six of us. It’s not like a triangle or a pyramid or something, where it comes to a point at the top, and it’s me and I’ve got this bandâ¦It’s more like the six of us making a square and seeing what we can collectively sound like.”
