These are the bands that I’m looking forward to checking out at the 2015 Coachella Music Festival.  In the unlikely event anyone cares, here’s the list so far.

#21 = St. Vincent

Annie Clark is the woman parading around under the stage name St. Vincent.  The Tulsa ,Oklahoma native got her start in the music industry back in 2006 as a member of The Polyphonic Spree, but who hasn’t?  After touring for some time with Sufjan Stevens, Ms. Clarke started St. Vincent in 2007.  Since, she’s released four studio albums, and a collaboration album with David Byrne.

Her music has been well-received by those who receive music well.  I saw that her 2014 self-titled LP actually finished the year as the #1 Album Of 2014 by some reputable sources.  I think her music is okay, but it ain’t that good.  I hear she puts on a hell of a show, I’ll be the judge of that.

Btw, St Vincent is also a college in Western Pennsylvania, summer home of the Pittsburgh Steelers as a matter of fact.  Here We Go!

#23 = Belle and Sebastian

Belle and Sebastian are a Scottish indie pop band from, you guessed it, Glasgow.  Formed in 1996, the Scottish collective have released nine studio albums, the most recent Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance coming a few months back.  For those interested in fun facts, the sextet was named after a 1965 children’s book.  I really dug the tune “The Party Line,” I had it in my Top 100 Tracks Of 2014 at #53.

Years played Coachella = 2 (2002 Outdoor Theatre & 2004 Main Stage)

Times I’ve seen them = 1 (2004 Coachella)

“Step Into My Office, Baby” is another good one, listen below:

#24 = Sloan

Sloan is a Toronto based rock band that’s been around since 1991.  The quartet has had the same four member intact throughout their glorious career.  The band has released eleven studio albums, including the most recent 2014 offering Commonwealth.  Sloan has enjoyed most of their success north of the boarder and is regarded as one of the greatest Canadian rock bands of all time, who knew?

Years played Coachella = 1 (2005 Mojave)

My fave Sloan tune is “If It Feels Good Do It”

“Money City Maniacs” is another goody

#25 = Phox

Phox is an alt-folk sextet that’s based in Baraboo, Wisconsin.  The band’s debut self-titled album was released last June after it was recorded at Justin Vernon‘s home studio, how fun.  I had their tune “Slow Motion” (watch below) at #12 on my list of the Top Tracks Of 2014.

#26 = Cloud Nothings

Cloud Nothings are a lo-fi scuzz band that formed in 2009 by frontman Dylan Baldi (pictured).  The Cleveland, Ohio based trio have released four studio albums.  On my list of the Top 100 Tracks Of 2014, I had their tune “I’m Not Part Of Me” at #38.  If wasn’t for the fact that I’ve already seen Cloud Nothings, they would have been much higher on my list.

#27 = Tame Impala

Tame Impala is an overrated Australian psychedelic rock band that formed in 2007 out of a home-recording project led by frontman Kevin Parker.  The band has released two well-received LP’s and made a good living playing Coachella on a regular basis.

Don’t get me wrong, I was all-over their debut release Innerspeaker.  I was right there with the “Tame Impala blah blah blah” chatter.  However, upon further review, I find their music quite boring and their live set unimpressive.  That said, I’ll be right there drinking the Tame Impala Kool Aid in a few weeks.

Anyone like fun facts?  The band is named after the medium-sized African Impala antelope, not to be confused with the Dik Dik, a small-sized African antelope.

Last week the group released the single “Let It Happen,” and the plan is to still release their third studio album in 2015.

#28 = Caribou

Dan Snaith is a Canadian electronic musician that operates under the moniker Caribou.  FKA Manitoba, Snaith has released four studio albums under the Caribou brand and six overall.  His latest album Our Love was released last October, those that get paid to review albums had it near the top of the Best Of 2014 lists.

#29 = Mac DeMarco

Macbriare Samuel Lanyon DeMarco is a Canadian slack rocker that simply goes by Mac DeMarco.  The multi-instrumentalist has released two solo albums so far, 2 in 2012 and Salad Days in April 2014, which was met with critical acclaim.

Mr. DeMarco’s live sets are said to be can’t miss raunchfests.  Allegedly, the band engages the crowd with off-color jokes and can involve nudity as well as lewd acts, all in the presence of Mac’s Mom, how fun!

#30 = Angel Olsen

Angel Olsen is an indie folk singer-songwriter that is currently based in North Carolina.  Ms. Olsen released her highly regarded sophomore album Burn Your Fire For No Witness in February 2014.  She is formerly a backup singer for Will Oldham’s outfit Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, who knew I’d be talking about alt country again in this countdown.  The track “Forgiven/Forgotten” nearly made my list of the Top 100 tracks of 2014, I think it came in at 105, not sure.

Decide whether “Forgiven/Forgotten” should have made my list.
