Lollapalooza 2013 VIDEO: Grizzly Bear Frontman Ed Droste on New Album Plans

If you ask us (and you didn’t…but we’ll pretend you did), Grizzly Bear was one of the real standouts from the pack of quality acts at Coachella 2013. Their live rendition of the simmering rumbler “Half Gate” as night settled over the desert — chill-inducing.

The natural harmonies of Brooklyn’s own were once again on display at Lollapalooza’s Red Bull Sound Select main stage this year…and lead singer/founder Ed Droste got into Lolla’s freewheeling spirit, proudly sporting his Babar-print shirt for the event.

We grabbed a few minutes with Ed as he talked about the difference between Lollapalooza and any of the band’s more routine summer tour stops, the rigors of performing their 101st show in support of 2012’s “Shields,” and when the guys might start work on a follow-up album.
