Those of us not fortunate enough to be out in Colorado for the Mile High Festival this past weekend watching Tool's first performance in eighteen months or Gogol Bordello's crowd-surfing gypsy-punk can catch up on the excitement with SPIN's artist interviews, filmed live at the Budweiser Lager Sessions area.

During downtime at this past weekend's Rothbury Festival in Michigan, SPIN correspondent Daniel Cassanova talked to some of the best acts there -- Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk, California indie-folk band Wendy Darling, electronica duo Pretty Lights, and Lyrics Born of the hip-hop collective Quannum All Stars.

As fans took a break from the musical offerings at this past weekend's Rothbury Festival in Michigan, they'd often wander into the Budweiser Lager Sessions area for some cool misting fans, internet access, and for SPIN's artist interviews.

Bonnaroo's fourth day brought a healthy dose of sunshine -- a splendid surprise given the severe thunderstorm warnings that existed all weekend but never materialized -- and more super talents to SPIN's interview stage at the Budweiser Troo Music Lounge.

At Bonnaroo's Budweiser Troo Music Lounge, a little oasis where fans cool off, browse the internet, and have a cold one, up-and-coming acts took the stage for their featured Bonnaroo sets. And in between those sets, SPIN invited bands from around the festival to sit down for interviews with our own Peter Gaston.

On Bonnaroo's third day of action, artists continued to visit with SPIN's Peter Gaston at the Budweiser Troo Music Lounge for interviews and fan questions.

Starting the afternoon off were Chuck Garvey and Rob Derhak of Western NY rockers moe., who were just beginning a long day that culminated in their 1-4 A.M. performance at the festival's This Tent.
