So the economy must have officially turned around: Coachella sold out in less than a week. Sincere congrats to Paul and everyone involved, and my sincere apologies for not making it this year. Not that I’ll be missed. Goldenvoice will be happy to have one less LA-based industry jackass making a flimsy business case for an all access pass, to be sure.
Lots of great bands at Coachella I’d love to see, tho: Warpaint, Odd Future, Tame Impala, Ariel Pink, Mount Kimbie, !!!, A-Trak, Animal Collective, Wire, Ratatat, Health, Off!, Phantogram and of course Lauryn Hill and most of all the DFA1979 reunion. Zoe’s radio show on WMBR 88.1 in Cambridge this morning featured the Coachella lineup. Clicky click to have it delivered to your ears.
Check this lineup out. Looking impressive.
As Adam Horovitz said, “The Juggalo show is real… and way funnier.” Tru dat.
But I’m headed to the Empire Polo Field the weekend following Coachella for the REAL Brochella, seeing THE BIG FOUR with Brian Frank. The Big Four? Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax, of course. Wonder if I can get my brother all the way out here with us! What do ya say, Danny?
