Coachella 2015

My Top 40 Bands

15/04/09 at 8.25am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

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.

Best of Luck to everyone that tried to guess my Top 10.  All Systems Go!

#3 = AC/DC

ACDCAC/DC is a Heritage hard rock band that formed in 1973 in Sydney, Australia.  The band has released fifteen studio albums over their forty-plus year career.  Their most recent album Rock Or Bust was released last November.  View their entire album discography here.

This was an impressive “get” by the festival organizers.  It ranks up there with Prince as a headliner that we may talk about forever.  The band has a lengthy back catalogue of hits that may cause Paul to pull the plug on them if they decide to play them all.

Their recent troubles have been well-documented, but it shouldn’t diminish the buzz on the field on those two headlining nights.  I can only imagine the roar of the crowd when they strike the first note of “Hells Bells.”  Can’t Wait!  BTW, I wasn’t one of those douchebags from high school that wore their t-shirt every other day.

Years played Coachella = Zero

Times I’ve seen them = Zero

Let’s enjoy some AC/DC, shall we!!!

My Top 40 Bands

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.

Best of Luck to everyone that tried to guess my Top 10.  All Systems Go!

#4 = Alt-J

Alt-JAlt-J is an English indie band that formed in Leeds in 2007.  Their unique art rock style sound could be considered a genre of its own.  The four-piece released their debut album An Awesome Wave to critical acclaim in 2012.  The album took home the prestigious British Mercury Prize as the best U.K. album of 2012.  The follow-up sophomore effort This Is All Yours is equally as good, IMO.  I had that album as my #9 Album Of 2014, the more I listen to it, the more I think #9 doesn’t do it justice.

Years played Coachella = 1 (2013 Mojave Tent)

Times I’ve seen them = I caught the last four tunes of that Coachella set and have wanted to see them again ever since.

Please enjoy a few Alt-J videos below:

Coachella Reveals Set Times, Read ‘Em And Weep

15/04/07 at 7.37pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Coachella 2015 Set timesAt precisely 6:00pm Pacific Standard Time this evening, the Coachella Music Festival revealed the 2015 set times.  As usual, there are conflicts galore.

While you’re mulling over all of the conflicts, you won’t have to worry about any late-adds.  To my calculations, there’s no late-adds to report on.  What I have noticed is Kele is nowhere to be found, and The War On Drugs were changed from Saturday to Friday.  Death Cab for Cutie, thought to be a possible late-add, didn’t materialize.  It opens up the possibility of Ben Gibbard joining Jenny Lewis for a Postal Service cover set.

Seriously, RIDE is performing at 5:25pm?

You can enjoy all the set times here.

#5 = The Orwells

orwells_feat_lgThe Orwells are an indie rock quintet from Chicago, Illinois that formed in 2009.  The kids started the band when they were in the ninth grade.

They’ve released two studio albums, 2012’s Remember When and 2013’s Disgraceland.  In December 2014, The Orwells were hired by Apple to sell the new iPad Air 2, ultimately pimping out the tune “Who Needs You.”  Since emerging a few years back, the band has been recognized as a Band On The Come.

The band is named after the English novelist best known for his book Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell.

Coachella, A Closer Look

15/04/07 at 2.47pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Coachella imageHere are some random thoughts as we get ready to repeatedly hit the refresh button in anticipation of the set times.  The organizers are notorious for waiting until the last minute to unveil set times, because “that’s how long it takes.”  I’ve learned over the years to not get too caught up in the set times, it is what it is, yeah right.

Coachella 2015 PosterI’ve been criticized on numerous occasions for backing the Festival organizers, and the lineup they construct for us on a yearly basis.  This year was no different, if not worse.  I’ve always said they get what’s available, and they usually get more than most Festivals out there.  As the other Festivals released their posters, if was evident Coachella wasn’t “going mainstream” or “going on the cheap,” they were actually procuring the talent available to them this year.  Furthermore, RIDE was a “great get.”  It was similar to The Stone Roses in 2013, RIDE belonged to Coachella this year.  Look at it this way, be thankful you weren’t one of those poor bastards holding out in anticipation that Outside Lands was going to have a much better lineup this year.

Anyone else see that Coachella banned selfie sticks?  First it was Sharpies, and now it’s Selfie Sticks, what could possibly be next?  Well, let me tell you what should be next, how about… selfie sticks tied to stuffed animals, or selfie sticks tied to the Swedish flag, or selfie sticks tied to crutches, or selfie sticks tied to big faces, or maybe selfie sticks tied to pool noodles, there’s a start.

King TuffEven though a reliable source told us the only late-add would a local DJ for the Sahara tent at Noon, here are a few possible late-adds I’m holding out hope for, not to mention they make sense:
King Tuff
Death Cab For Cutie
Spoon
Real Estate

What actually is Coachella?
article-twinkie2-1117When I think of Coachella I think happy thoughts, such as: friendships, a weekend away from reality, making lists, Spicy Pie, not being able to speak on Monday, IPA’s for breakfast, sometimes Long Island Iced-Teas, sleeping cheap, using your finger to stir coffee, sneaking in sharpies, photos under the poster, merch, granola bars, laughing so hard it hurts, relish trays, cymbals, Twinkies, Arrival Day, cough drops, pretending to wear the wristband on the wrong wrist, pretending, talking yourself into drinking a Heineken, making fun of me, threatening to finally ride the ferris wheel, Pringles, parking, The 6, wasting time by stopping at Panera, Spector, CD mixtapes, the art, Pop Tarts (frosted and unfrosted, but mostly frosted), did I say Spicy Pie?, Pub Mix, Reflection Day, and most importantly… Depends.

Don’t forget to activate your wristband, it looks like they really mean it this year…

Best of Luck to everyone that tried to guess my Top 10.  All Systems Go!

#6 = Panda Bear

Panda BearNoah Lennox aka Panda Bear is an experimental rock musician that’s currently based in Portugal.  Mr. Lennox began his solo career in 1999 and shortly after was a founding member of the equally experimental act Animal Collective.  Under the Panda Bear moniker, Noah has released five studio albums, including his most recent effort back in January.

Lennox is also a member of the band Jane, and collaborated on the Daft Punk track “Doin’ It Right,” from the 2014 Grammy Award winning Album Of The Year.  There you go, reason to believe Daft Punk will appear at the 2015 Coachella Festival.

#7 = Parquet Courts

Parquet Courts 2Parquet Courts are an indie rock quartet from Brooklyn that formed in 2010.  The band also releases music under the moniker Parkay Quarts, and are involved in a side project with fellow New Yorkers PC Worship called PCPC.  Since bursting onto the indie scene in 2012 with their second full-length Light Up Gold, the band has been one of my favorite acts of that last couple of years.

Parquet Courts Che CafeUnder normal conditions, Parquet Courts would probably land in my Top 3, however I’ve already seen them.  Nothing will ever top that evening at The Che Café in San Diego.  I was about 18 inches away from them, all the while being repeatedly pushed on to the stage.  My adventures on the stage included picking up and repositioning the microphone for bassist Sean Yeaton that kept getting knocked over, how fun!

I’m still looking forward to their Coachella debut.

#8 = Jack White

Jack WhiteJohn Anthony Gillis aka Jack White is the hardest working indie rock musician on the planet.  Mr. White is best known for his work as the lead singer and guitarist for the legendary band The White Stripes.  He is headlining the fest on Saturday night as a solo artist.  Mr. Gillis is also a member of the indie bands The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.

This is Jack White‘s first appearance at the Coachella Festival as a solo artist, however all of the acts he is associated with (see my rankings down below) have performed at Coachella.

To add to the resume, Jack has dabbled in a little acting, and is a music producer for his Third Man Records label. Bottom line, Jack White is the Ryan Seacrest of the indie music world.

Taking a little peeksee at Jack’s setlists, it shows a fun set of a material from his entire career as a musician, should be fun!

DJ DEEp ranks Jack White’s work:
1. The Raconteurs
2. The White Stripes
3. Jack White (the solo artist)
4. The Dead Weather

#9 = HAERTS HAERTS

HAERTS are an synthpop outfit from Brooklyn that formed back in 2010.  The band got the indie communities attention in 2013 with their single “Wings,” this blog named it as the #7 Track Of 2013.  Their self-titled full-length debut was released last October, it was preceded by the EP Hemiplegia released one year earlier.

Wasn’t music so much simpler when there wasn’t a need to stylize the name of your band.  The Wilson sister got by just fine as HAERT.

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.

Best of Luck to everyone that tried to guess my Top 10.  All Systems Go!

#10 = Toro Y Moi

Toro Y MoiToro Y Moi is the moniker used by chillwave extraordinaire Chazwick Bradley Bundick.  His popularity peeked during the chillwave invasion of 2010, and is often confused with being the godfather of chillwave.  All of that credit actually goes to the Michael McDonalds, Steely Dans, Boz Scaggses, and Pablo Cruises of the world, to name a few, they did all of the heavy lifting for young Chazwick back in the seventies.

When I first began constructing this list for your viewing pleasure, I had Mr. Moi much lower.  But as he continues to share new music off his upcoming (April 7) release What For?, I just can’t get enough. 

For those interested, Toro Y Moi means Bull and Me.  Bundick also uses the moniker Les Sins, releasing the album Michael in late 2014.

Discography:
Causers of This (2010)
Underneath the Pine (2011)
Anything in Return (2013)
Michael (2014) under the Les Sins brand
What For? (2015)

“Say That” is his best, IMO

If you liked those, you’ll dig “Still Sound”

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.

It’s always interesting and fun when the countdown hits the Top 19.

#11 = The Cribs

The CribsThe Cribs are an English indie rock trio that formed back in 2002.  The band consists of the Jarman brothers, Gary, Ryan, and Ross.  Between 2008 – 2011 the group employed Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr.  The band has released six studio albums in their career, including their latest effort For All My Sisters which dropped last week.

Recently, the Jarman  brothers have stirred up this nonsense about “old school dinosaurs.”  The band claims “We’re one of those bands who have seeped into public consciousness just by being around such a long time. There are still some old school dinosaurs in the UK who just have a grudge against us. They just don’t give us a chance to get bigger or actively block it…so we just have to put out another record that’s better than the last one.”  If you have an idea what they’re talking about, please discuss.

The Cribs will be making their first appearance at the festival since 2007, their 2010 scheduled appearance was cancelled due to the Icelandic volcano.

Discography:
The Cribs (2004)
The New Fellas (2005)
Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever (2007)
Ignore The Ignorant (2009)
In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull (2012)
For All My Sisters (2015)

Years played Coachella = 1 (2007 Mojave)
