Day 2 of Kidzapalooza was a blast! Tiny Masters of Today, The Dream Jam Band, The Jimmies, Homemade Jamz' Blues Band and The Terrible Twos rocked out to a very appreciative audience and the ever-popular activities, including the School of Rock Jam Tent, Tattooz by Small Paul, Arts at Play and Make Your Own Tote with Julius and Small Paul were kept busy all day!

Special Guest today was Mason Jennings, who appeared on the Kidza stage after his main Lolla appearance earlier in the day. Needless to say he was a huge hit with the crowd.

Great reports continue to come in about Kidzapalooza. Here's a couple more:

"Hometown heroes Wilco co-headlined Saturday night. But earlier, Jeff Tweedy shifted gears with a delightful Kidz Stage show featuring folk versions of "Heavy Metal Drummer" and Uncle Tupelo's "New Madrid," complete with a cameo by Tupelo's drummer Bill Belzer. Between songs, Mr. Tweedy told the tots to steer their parents away from "awful bands" – good advice. But at Lollapalooza, the awful bands were few and far between." - The Dallas Morning News

""Going after Jeff Tweedy...big ego booster," Zach Rogue sarcastically said when taking the Kidz stage. I really, really enjoyed this show. They played earlier in the day on one of the main stages, but last minute signed on to do a short acoustic set. They played some of my favorites including "Eyes" and "Lake Michigan."" - National Music Examiner

"... I headed over to the Kidz stage, which is a great setup for parents and kids alike. Most of it is in the shade, there are coloring areas set up, and several kid related booths all around. I was not there for the coloring though, as Jeff Tweedy was playing a solo set and I knew if nothing else, that would energize me to get through the rest of the day. Jeff played some great Wilco stuff, and of course included the Uncle Tupelo gem, “New Madrid” as well." - Each Note Secure (Cincinnatti Music Blog)

"... Lolla packed itself up into Concision, and it never looked better (just ask the attendees of the beautifully secluded Kidz stage... or performers that day The Terrible Two's, Rogue Wave, or the legendary Jeff Tweedy)." - Tyler's Scatterbrained Lolla Round-Up (The Milk Carton)
