Last night, Chicagoist took in a performance by Mates of State (above) and The Cold War Kids at an official pre-party for Lollapalooza at Abbey Pub. Both bands will be performing this weekend out in Grant Park along with 128 other artists.

We'll bring you coverage of one of Chicago's biggest events on Monday, but don't forget to stop by the unofficial after-party we're throwing with the folks at V2 Records. Tonight at 9 PM at Double Door, come see The Mooney Suzuki, Gosling, Blood Meridian, and Gang of Four's Dave Allen spinning tunes between their sets.

And say hi to Perry for us if you see him. Dude never calls when he's in town.
