When can a band, who is not even on the Lollapalooza lineup, secure a coveted pre-Lolla gig at Chicago's famed Metro? When they are the goddamn Band Of Horses that's when. Here's a set of their unapologetic rock music that adequately prepped festival-goers who were in town before the three day mega-fest earlier this month.

This is a fine showcase of their songwriting, even including a few songs ('Everything's Gonna Be Undone', 'Knock Knock') from their yet to be released album, Mirage Rock, due in September. By the time of the four song encore, which includes stirring, anthemic 'Ode To LRC' they had brought down the house. Play this one loud.

'You know, it's funny,' Bridwell said by phone. 'I get here and I'm staying at this fancy hotel and it's two blocks away from this parking lot, now a vacant parking lot, that they used to have Ryder trucks on — a rental place. And I used to actually sleep on those trucks.

I'd get thrown out of the truck at 6 a.m. In my sleeping bag. It's just funny. It's two blocks away and I'm now on the balcony of this big hotel. I'm a bit reflective.'

And there's plenty to reflect on since his band formed nine years ago. Has played before audiences of tens of thousands and released four albums — the last two of which, including last fall's debuted in the top 15 of the Billboard 200. Now based in the Charleston, S.C., area, Bridwell's married and a father of two. Bridwell talked with The Associated Press last month about adjusting the rock 'n' roll lifestyle to family, being an overprotective dad and his band's latest tour, which began this week and included a stop Friday at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival: AP: Did you bring your family with you to Seattle? Bridwell: I'm here by myself. I was home for like a month and a half and tour's about to start again, but I really needed a little break to come out and look at the trees AND the forest, as it were.

It's a dangerous thing, though, right? They always say you can't go back home or whatever. It's a dangerous thing, but it's at least interesting.

As long as you don't put too much stock in it. AP: You have kids now. How do you handle family while living the rock 'n' roll lifestyle? Bridwell: It's an interesting balancing act that I think at first was really tough to try to balance. Not only the touring aspect and missing them and feeling guilty about not being there when there's a crisis or something, but even just like being home and the day-to-day want to create at all times.

I want to work on music all day like a video game junky would with Black Ops or something, you know? It's good to be forced to step outside of your own mind and your own needs. AP: Have your daughters shown any interest in music? Bridwell: Yeah, man, I'm almost like afraid as a parent to show them what you're really into, like you're forcing it on them or something. I'm afraid my kids will grow up to be cheerleaders in spite of their parents being cool.

So I kind of kept it to myself. But obviously I'm always playing music. As soon as they wake up, I play them something that will help them have a nice day or something.

So I'm literally shoving little songs here and there without being overly dramatic about it. As far as playing in front of them, I'm just really mellow about that. And I think by doing that, it's really perked the interest of my oldest to be like, 'I want to do what daddy does. Gta san andreas save game 100 complete with special cars online. I want to be a singer.' AP: You ever thought about taking them on tour? Bridwell: I just don't think it's time yet honestly.

I'm a worry wart, man. I don't know if it's because I have two girls (age 4 and 2) and I'm just like, 'Be careful on that balance beam that's 2 inches off the ground, you might break your ankle,' you know?
