9. Gemini Club

For fans of: Bastille, Empire of the Sun

This cute Chicago electro-pop band has the ability to traverse the full spectrum of indie dance. After half a decade of grinding on the local scene—expanding from a trio to a quartet in the process—Gemini's sharp songwriting, dance-floor beats and dynamic performance skills have seemed to finally click, as evidenced by Red Bull's pushing of the recent single "Sparklers." 

9 not-douchey electronic acts at Lollapalooza 2014

EDM does not have to be a dirty word. Look past the bro-friendly, fist-pumping dubstep acts for gems like RAC and Rudimental in the Lolla lineup.

EDM has become a four letter word. Well, among a certain set. Dubstep is still filling Soldier Field, frat houses, the new Spider-Man movie soundtrack, Billboard charts. There were a lot of groans when Lollapalooza announced Skrillex as a headliner. But the music festival sold out in three hours—record time. If you think the Lolla bill is weak, you might be getting old. 

Besides, beyond the bro-friendly, bass-dropping, fist-pumpings dudes, there are some great electronic bookings on this bill as well. Here are nine class dance (fine, EDM) acts worth checking out.
