The Blood, The Beer, and The Sweaty…
…cue Ennio Morricone
I’m going to keep the Coachella blog short cause
1) you knew someone who went already
2) more than enough coverage exists already
3) I should strictly stick to LA bands
4) I refused to carry around a camera in that environment and mosh
(so you get crappy mobile photos at most)
5) twitter more than made up for it…
Friday:
Molotov - Sounded Good Puto!
Airborne Toxic Event - Good for them, great to see a band ascend from an audience of about 15 at a show downtown 3/4 years ago to this
The Hold Steady - Not very much into their records, the live show though, another story, the very best bar band
Crystal Castles: Started off late (i sense pretentiousness), not much depth to their setup or sound live (which resulted in muddiness), and sweaty.
Beirut: Beautiful
Silversun Pickups: See Airborne Toxic Event above
Sir Paul: Opened up with Jet! slowed it down in the middle, made everyone cry at the end…I’m disappointed he didn’t sing Silly Love Songs or Ebony & Ivory
Saturday:
Henry Rollins: “We should bomb both Israel and Palestine…with Ramones Records!”
TV on the Radio: Sounded OK
Fleet Foxes: Very pretty harmonies just right for sunset
Band of Horses: Feeeel It
Turbonegro: Turbojugend sang in unison “Erection!” haha
Mastodon: Got elbowed on the mouth
Sunday:
No Age: When you see a middle-aged latin man, his wife, and their kids (including the one in a stroller) wearing No Age shirts, you know they go beyond indie punk band status, they now lead a movement…
Fucked Up: Comes with blood included, probably played the best set of all
Brian Jonestown Massacre: Good to see them play in peace
PB&J: and I quote, “don’t they only have that one song only”, everyone woke up from their naps and left after it.
Clipse: They fuckin’ cancelled due to slingin’, well most likely…
X: Los Angeles!
Devendra Banhart: Lots of hippie smoke
My Bloody Valentine: LOUD
