Are you starting to see a pattern here? Great bands that I’ve seen before at Coachella, that I’m going to see again at Coachella.
Savages are an all-female post-punk band based in London. The ladies have been making some serious noise since 2011.
In 2012 the group introduced themselves to world by dropping the singles “Husbands” and “Flying to Berlin.” After one listen to those two gems, the woman ended up on every Bands-On-The-Come list known to mankind.
Their critically acclaimed debut Silence Yourself arrived in the spring of 2013, and deservingly finished the year on many of those fun Top Albums Of The Year lists, including mine. The highly-anticipated sophomore release Adore Life came out in January.
I think it might be time for the girls to graduate to the Main Stage.

Lord Huron is another band on my list that I was planning on seeing again in theatre playing a full set, not at Coachella. Oh well.
The band’s been around since 2010, originally from Michigan, now based in Los Angeles. They’ve released two studio albums, the 2012 offering Lonesome Dream, and 2015’s hugely underrated effort Strange Trails. I played the shit out of that CD last year.
I remember the band playing a delightful indie folk set in the Mojave Tent back in 2013, not quite sure how I remember that, with all the Jack that got drank that morning. Furthermore, I still have the setlist from that show, written up on a paper towel.
Are they big enough to play sundown on the main stage? That remains to be seen.

The night my eyes hit the 2016 Coachella poster for the first time, the name that came popping off the screen, even in its tiny font, was Pete Yorn. I thought to myself, Pete Yorn, where in the hell did he come from?
Well, he came from is Montville, New Jersey. Since the turn of the century, Mr. Yorn’s occupation has been singer-songwriter. He’s released six studio albums, four of which, when I wasn’t paying attention.
Back in 2001, I had his debut album musicforthemormingafter in heavy rotation in my compact disc player, I had one of those fancy 6-disc changers, come to think of it, I still do. If I ever get around to ranking my top tracks of the zero’s decade, Yorn’s “Life On A Chain” will be on that list.
His sophomore album Day I Forgot arrived in 2003. Ironically, that was around the same Day I Forgot about Pete Yorn.
If had more time, I would give you lots fun facts, everyone loves fun facts. Like, Peter Buck of R.E.M. worked on many of Yorn’s recordings, including the single “Strange Conditions.” Here’s another, he worked with some record producer named Ken Andrews of the band Failure. How fun!
About a month ago, he released Arranging Time, his first album in six years. I have no idea where Pete will fall when the stages and set times are release. I’m just hoping I’ll be Arranging Time for his Sunday performance.
