If you missed the Cut Copy dance night last month, check the very nice video coverage at Anthem Online. That show was AMAZING!!! I cannot wait to dance to all the new tracks at Coachella.
I don't care if they had to buy Prince to drum up sales, I was going anyways to see Portishead. This shit is gonna be so insane. Cannot wait!
I will be first in line for the new offering from Digitalism, Idealism .
They rocked my socks off at coachella. Take it from me and MusicGlob, "Pogo" is the new jam of the summer. Forget JT. Forget M.I.A (even tho that shit is gonna be hot too). These boys from Berlin have got the new sound.
If you like to dance, then this year's Coachella might be for you.
Here's a list of some artists that will get you moving.
Peaches (DE) really knows how to get nasty. Outdoor Theater, Fri 7:25-8:15. Digitalism (DE) in Sahara, Fri 6:15-7:30. I love their Klaxons remix. Can't wait! Just read about Evil Nine from the UK. That's gonna be sick in Sahara, Fri 11-12midnite. The always reliable, Felix da Housecat (Chicago) in Sahara (also on Friday, 7:30-8:30).
Sahara is where it's at on Saturday! DJ Heather (Chicago), forget Aoki, this lady knows how to tear it up. Next up, MSTRKRFT (canada). If they play "Street Justice", I'm gonna be in heaven. Damn that line at SxSw, i'll be able to see them no problem this time. Then, the Ed Banger crew are up next with Busy P & DJ Mehdi (FR) at 6:40-8:30. I would love to hear "Lucky Boy".
Also on Ed Banger records, Justice (FR) in the Sahara Tent, Sat. 8:30-9:15pm Check out this genius video for "D.A.N.C.E."
Then, get ready to shake it to LCD Soundsystem (NYC) at 9:30 on Sat in Sahara. I'd also recommend fitting in a little bit of Gregg's set, aka as Girl Talk (Philly)in Gobi at 8:45-9:30.
And then on Sunday, it's getting crazy out there in the desert! I've been waiting since September to finally see Soulwax(Belgium). They're up in the Sahara at 4:50-5:50pm. I only wish I could go to the Modular pre-party in SF on Friday as well. Look for me at the front acting a fool.
Richie Hawtin (UK) spins the grooves after soulwax goes off. Also on Sunday, Spank Rock (Philly) closing out the Gobi tent.
Just cuz your sweatin' doesn't mean it's from the sun.
If you haven't been sleeping under a rock, you already know the line-up for Coachella this year. It's gonna be so fucking great! Bjork and Jarvis Cocker! And all my DJ favorites are gonna be on hand like MSTRKRFT, Air, Erol Alkan, Soulwax, DJ Heather, & Justice. I'm so excited about this that I might have to pass on SXSW just to save up for this mega-festival. $249 for a 3-day pass is a pretty good deal.
Here's the lineup:
I can't believe that as the night ended last Coachella, they had the nerve to start a rumor that it wasn't coming back! Cheers to the new and improved 2007 schedule! There's so many acts that I've been meaning to see. And now I will. I'm kinda not so psyched about Rage or RHCP. It's not 1999 anymore.
I'm a twentysomething female who is an encylopedia of useless pop culture facts. I love to start the dancefloor at concerts, parties, living rooms, wherever. I aspire one day to own my own production company. Until then, I work alot and party when I can.
