A defining set at Chicago’s Lollapalooza last summer left different impressions on two members of the Dublin indie rock band Inhaler.

“It was massive, the size kind of freaked us out,” says drummer Ryan McMahon. “Unfortunately our bass player Rob [Keating] was sick so he had to sit through some crazy arty rap music playing over him while getting sick in a bucket.”
