Coachella Review: The Weeknd

Published on 2012-04-16 20:09:19

The Weeknd made his Coachella debut on the Outdoor stage during sunset and to a very large audience. This is an artist that made his name known by releasing mixtapes online and very few people even knew what he actually looked like.  His music avoids the hooks and repetitiveness that most R&B and hip hop songs rely on, but by the looks of it his fans have memorized his lyrics and love him for the talented singer that he is.  The Weeknd was back by a full band and played a set which included [..]

Coachella Review: Dr. Dre & Snoop Dog

Published on 2012-04-16 19:56:00

The main stage audience for the West Coast rap kings went as far as the eye can see, and I couldn’t imagine there was much of a crowd at any of the other stages at this point. The lights went out and the first thing we saw was a plug for Beats by Dre burst on the screen… of course.  There was a short intro and the duo arose from the stage to break out into “The Next Episode”, “Kush”, “Gin and Juice” and then the first track they ever recorded toge [..]

Coachella Review: Santigold

Published on 2012-04-16 19:20:00

Santigold made her comeback to Coachella after four years and she couldn’t have been happier to be there and it showed through her performance. She came on stage with a full band, back up singers/dancers and a major urge to get the crowd dancing.  Santigold ran through all of the old favorites off of her debut album like “Shove It”, “Creator”, “L.E.S.Artistes” and “Say Aha”. She also sprinkled in a couple new songs off her upcoming sophomor [..]

Coachella Review: The Hives

Published on 2012-04-16 19:02:00

Photo by: Chris Alvarez It’s been five years since The Hives have released any new music and almost as long since they performed on stage. So did the Swedish garage-revival band lose any of their attitude or arrogance? Thankfully no, they didn’t. The band came out dressed the nines in full tuxedos and lead singer Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist even rocked a top hat as he strutted across the stage.  Almqvist can be best described as half Mick Jagger half James Brown, and an ego th [..]

Coachella Review: Justice

Published on 2012-04-16 18:39:00

Photo by: Chris Alvarez Justice made their second visit to Coachella since 2008 and I was very interested into seeing what changes the French duo would make to their live performance. There wasn’t many, in fact it got worse. I don’t have much respect for electronic artists that seem to hide behind a pre-recorded set and seem to just stand there. Justice are still using a stage made up of Marshall amps and their illuminating cross mounted on the front. So what are they actually playin [..]

If you’re heading out to Indio this weekend expect a weekend with tons of memories. Yesterdays weather was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees and not a cloud in sight.  This might have been my favorite day of the three day music festival which included an early dance party by Santigold; The Growlers heating things up on the Outdoor [..]

Coachella Review: Bon Iver

Published on 2012-04-15 15:46:04

The Grammy award winning Bon Iver played to a packed crowd on the main stage and really set the tone for the rest of the evening before Radiohead. Lead singer Justin Vernon played a very emotional set which included performances of “Holocene”, “Skinny Love” and finished the night with “The Wolves (Act 1 and 2)”. If you’re heading out next weekend with a loved one, this is the set to curl up with someone and relax with some amazing music. While you’ [..]

With a new album out right now, the band was able to extend their set compared to previous tours.  While I haven’t fully fallen in love with their latest work, hearing “Paddle Out” and “The Wave” live started to convince me further. But you know everyone was really waitin [..]

Coachella Review: St. Vincent

Published on 2012-04-15 15:22:00

Photo by: Chris Alvarez St. Vincent is always an interesting only to catch performing live. When you see the  singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist walk out on stage looking like America’s sweetheart and at probably under 5’5”, you wont have the slightest clue of what’s going to happen next. This chick might be soft-spoken but she can genuinely shred on her guitar, and I mean SHRED! Her last album “Strange Mercy” made it’s way to plenty “Be [..]

Coachella Review: The Vaccines

Published on 2012-04-15 15:05:20

Making their way to the Indio desert for the first time (and hopefully not the last), The Vaccines played a great set complete with small mosh pits breaking out in the Gobi tent as the crowd welcomed the buzz band and the sun to the desert. Their debut album “What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?” is chop full of instant favorites, and hearing “Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra)” and “Norgaard” live got things heated up fast under the small tent. While they did pl [..]

Coachella Review: Black Lips

            The Black Lips made their return to Coachella for another rowdy set to get the kids moshing in front of the Mojave stage. While the band have matured their sound on their latest Mark Ronson produced release “Arabia Mountain”, the band were still up to their old antics that would used to get them kicked out of venues and one time a country. They played a solid set which included favorites like “Dumpster Diving”, “Buried Alive” and “Cold [..]

Photo by: Goldenvoice The sun finally came out to greet the festival and it’s return was much appreciated. the heat peaked at 72 degrees and felt like the perfect setting for a music festival. Even the Do Lab decided to turn on the mist during the festivities and hose down the dancing crowd for a bit. Shorts and t-shirts made a comeback and so did the hunt for shade. The line up still kept me on my toes as I tried to rush from stage to stage and catch acts like Azealia Banks was a major hi [..]

Coachella Review: Refused

Published on 2012-04-14 16:17:12

Still not sure which reunion people wanted to see the most. Pulp or Refused? Britpop or hardcore punk? Their audience were extremely different from one another. But one thing was for sure, the hardcore crowd could kick the britpop’s ass.  Fighting the 48 degree weather, these were fans that found a way to sweat with shorts and tank tops on. The brawl of Indio was officially on. Surprisingly enough Refused came on stage looking like an H&M catalog, but played so hard it made the Misfits l [..]

Coachella Review: The Black Keys

Published on 2012-04-14 16:05:10

When it was first announced I was one of those that was a little hesitant about The Black Keys being crowned as a headliner. Not that I don’t like them, but because I think that it’s a spot that is worth only of the best of the best. But the Coachella veterans came in to stop any doubt. Their stage set up included a screen that gave it’s two main members an amazing silhouette as they banged on their instruments.   Since their latest albums are a little more complex and requir [..]

Coachella Review: M83

Published on 2012-04-14 15:54:55

            Photo by: Chris Alvarez This was a performance that is going in the books. M83 was astonishing as they played a late set on the Mojave stage. The smartest part about their performence was that they played a set that catered to their new fans that have jumped on the M83 bandwagon over the past year. Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t just a bunch kids that only knew “Midnight City”. The band ran through many of the songs off their latest album “Hurry Up, Were [..]

Coachella Review: Pulp

Photo by: Chris Alvarez Another Coachella and another reunion to add to it’s legacy. Britpop quitent Pulp finally made their way to the states after a 10 year hiatus and they did not let this festival crowd down. As soon as the intro began, hoards of fans rushed the stage and happily left any other acts they were watching at the time. I do think they were going for the record of the world longest intro, because I personally clocked it in at a whopping 18 minutes before we actually saw anyo [..]

Coachella Review: Grouplove

             Photo by: Chris Alvarez Grouplove made their Coachella debut a beach party worthy of their EP cover. They were as excited to play there as the crowd was to see them, and it showed in the set. They kicked things off with “Lovely Cup” and “Itchin’ On A Photograph,” and by the time they got to “Gold Coast” the crowed packed into the Mojave tent was warmed up and ready to dance for the rest of the set. Grouplove rocked the tent with their summery songs and even did [..]

Coachella Review: Madness

Published on 2012-04-14 15:14:16

Madness is one of those bands that I have been dying to see live on stage for years upon years. Especially since their name was abruptly taken off the 2008 line. The ska masters pulled in a much older crowd that have been fans since the late 70’s. But the saddest part was when I noticed how small the audience actually was.  The crowd only went past the the sound booth, and for a setting the size of the Outdoor Stage that isn’t much. But that in no way phased the band. Madness opened [..]

Coachella Review: Gary Clark Jr.

Published on 2012-04-14 15:00:00

            Photo by: Chris Alvarez I can easily write this review in one line: This artist will be the next big thing. Hands down my favorite performance of the lower billed acts. Gary Clark Jr. brought it to the Gobi stage with some intense psyched out blues that brought the same legendary name to everyone’s mind, Jimmy Hendrix. While he play in the early afternoon he did perform like a headliner. Gary (yup, first name basis) shined with the crowd pleasing singles but at times got [..]

Coachella Review: Arctic Monkeys

Published on 2012-04-14 14:46:00

Arctic Monkeys made their second visit to Coachella this year, and since then the band have release two more albums (My personal favorite is still Favorite Worst Nightmare) and gotten some more respectable haircuts. Lead Singer Alex turner did mention how much they have been “Tryin to get back” to Coachella.  This years set was one to remember. They opened up with the explosive “Brainstorm” to set the tone of the show which was to play all of the hard hitting favorites. [..]

2012 Coachella Friday Recap

Photo by: Goldenvoice Friday has come and gone but the real headliner that everyone talked (and whined)  about was the weather. For the first time in the festivals history the polo fields were plagued by dark clouds, high winds and drizzling rain. But did that stop festival goers in any way? Nope.  Fashion blogs kept talking about the “best looks” if you’re heading out to the desert. I bet garbage bags and ponchos weren’t on that list. Local shops couldn’t keep ho [..]
