I’m utterly shocked that Local Natives aren’t playing on Friday as well, seriously.
Despite seeing Local Natives three times in the past, the Los Angeles-based indie rockers are worthy enough to crack my Top 10 of must-see bands.
As a thirteen-year veteran of the Coachella Music Festival, I can honestly say I’ve seen a shit-ton of shows in The Promised Land. If I ever get around to making a list of some of my faves, that badass set from Local Natives back in 2013 will definitely make the list.
The quintet is truly an underappreciated indie band, and it’s on full display by the line-four placement on the Coachella poster this year. When you examine all the acts on Saturday’s offering, how in the hell is Local Natives not on line-two? What a travesty!
The band is three albums deep into their career. Their catalogue includes last September’s release Sunlit Youth, 2013’s Hummingbird, and the 2010 indie classic Gorilla Manor.
I’d be down with these dudes right where I saw them the last time, on the Outdoor Stage at sunset.
Enjoy some of their beautiful tunes below:
