Coachella 2015

My Top 40 Bands

15/03/08 at 9.47pm   /   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.

#39 = Until The Ribbon Breaks

Until The Ribbon BreaksUntil The Ribbon Breaks are three lads from Cardiff, U.K. doing their best to blend electronic, pop, rock, and hip-hop, but all the while with a sharp alternative edge.  Sound interesting? I didn’t think so.  UTRB initially formed in 2012 as the solo project of Pete Lawrie-Winfield, but has since expanded to three members.  The trio released their full-length debut A Lesson Unlearnt back in January.

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.

#40 = Desaparecidos

DesaparecidosDesaparecidos are a Nebraska based EMO band led by Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst.  The group was formed in 2001 and released its only LP Read Music/Speak Spanish in 2002.  The band broke up in 2002 as it was gaining popularity while touring with Present-Tense EMO fave Jimmy Eat World. They reformed in 2012 and plan to release their sophomore album later this year.

I feel obligated to open the countdown with one of the many EMO bands on this year’s EMO-friendly poster.  This will be the last time I discuss EMO on my countdown.

Death Cab For Cutie Shares “Black Sun” Video, Expands Tour.

Late-Add For Coachella Remains Possible

15/02/11 at 1.35pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Death CabIndie pop stalwarts Death Cab For Cutie have had a busy couple of weeks as they prepare for the release of the eighth studio album Kintsugi on March 31.

The Bellingham, Washington outfit have already shared the first single from the album “Black Sun,” and recently performed it live on Late Night With David Letterman.  Now comes the official video for the track which stars the living and breathing Ben Gibbard himself.

What’s more, the group has expanded their already lengthy world tour with more U.S. dates, support will be provided by The Antlers, Explosions In The Sky, Built To Spill, and everyone’s favorite band to type-out, tUnE-yArDs.  A glaring hole remains between the Mesa, Arizona show on April 10 and the Kansas City, Missouri show on April 23, leaving open the possibility of a Coachella late-add.  The band would fit perfect on the Sunday schedule that’s already EMO friendly.  If you’re interested, here are the actual tour dates.

The band is moving forward without guitarist Chris Walla, who recently departed after 17 years with the band.  However, the band confirmed that Mr. Walla was involved in every way with the making of the new album Kintsugi.

Coachella Unveils 2015 Lineup

15/01/06 at 9.01pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Coachella 2015 PosterThe 2015 Coachella Music Festival lineup was unveiled this morning by the festival tweeting out an image of the lineup and the phase “For Those About To RT.” Tweeting the lineup, how fun!

The three night festival features identical lineups playing over two weekends. Weekend 1 takes place April 10-12, while Weekend 2 happens April 17-19. As usual, Arrival Day is held the Thursday night prior to the festival and Reflection Day remains the Monday morning after the extravaganza.

For those who care, the irrelevant headliners include: AC/DC on Friday, Jack White on Saturday, and Drake on Sunday.  If you’re considering going and don’t have a ticket, you have until Noon January 7 to consider, so consider fast.

After having roughly 12 hours to digest the lineup, here are a few random thoughts on the 2015 poster:

*The omission of The Black Keys can only mean one thing, there’s a new house band at Coachella, congratulations Florence and The Machine.

*Where are the usual 80’s Heritage Acts? The festival is known for always having a handful 80’s bands. Beware Cool Dads, you’re not welcome here anymore.

*It’s obvious that the font in my world is not the same size as the font in Coachella’s world. In my world, bands like Parquet Courts, The Orwells, Cloud Nothings, and KASABIAN are in much larger font, just sayin.

*For the second year in a row line 2 is incredibly weak. Where are bands like Spoon, TV On The Radio, The National, The New Pornographers, and Death Cab? Out with old, in with the new?

*Kudos to Coachella for procuring Ride, I believe the Weekend 1 show could possibly be their first reunion show.

*I’m sure Paul said “We gotta get Run The Jewels, make sure we get Run The Jewels.”

*Those relieved to see Lana Del Rey left off the poster this year should worry.  Ms. Del Rey is performing under the moniker Florence and The Machine, see it?

*In addition to Cool Dads, indie buzzbands are not welcome at Coachella anymore, how sad.  Remember when the bottom half of the poster used to be populated with them?

*Brilliant move by placing The Cribs on the bottom line on Day 3. Now, when the band cancels again… its easy on, easy off.

*The Libertines and Katie Bush would have been a nice treat

*I can just taste the Spicy Pie.

*I believe I had 11 bands from my Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster Wish List make the actual poster. Please check my math so I can buy myself a 9-dollar Heineken Light.

*Is Circa Survive EMO? How bout Brand New?

*What’s the big deal with Tame Impala?

*Nice to see the return of a little chillwave.

*Speaking of chillwave, the Steely Dan chillwave classic “Hey 19” is sure to be included on the mixtape.

*This is like the fifth year in a row that Day 3 is the weakest day, WTF.

That said, Can’t Wait!

I will begin to unveil my TOP 40 Coachella Bands starting on February 25th.

Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster Wish List

Thanksgiving imageAs I sit here writing this post, I should probably be counting the things that I’m thankful for; instead I’m counting up the bands that are on my Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster Wish List.  Thanksgiving Day has always been the official start of Coachella Season, why should this year be any different?

Over the past few months, I’ve been compiling a list of bands that I want to see play the 2015 Coachella Music Festival, through my posts.  Until Coachella unveils the official line-up, I will continue to make Frequent Updates to my Perfect Poster.  By no means is this a prediction or confirmation list, that exercise is conducted by the fine folks over at the Consequence Of Sound.  In order for a band to be added to the poster, I must mention the band in an upcoming post.  Remember, my game my rules.  Below is a list of bands that have already been mentioned and are on my Wish List.  All Systems Go.

Ride Reunites, Coachella Appearance Likely

14/11/20 at 1.49pm   /   by deepster19   /   2 Comments

Ride reunionWith the recent reunion success of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, fellow legendary British shoegazers Ride have decided to reunite and join in all the gazing fun.  The band initially announced 9 tour dates that begins in Glasgow (please inform Glasgow) next May 22, and includes an appearance at the Barcelona Primavera Festival on May 29.  The only U.S. date thus far is a visit to the Big Apple on June 4

While the news may come to some as the most significant music to one’s ears since the announcement that The Stone Roses were getting back together, others may react with simply “that’s nice, now I can get on with the rest of my day.”  I could say the news comes as a surprise, but when it comes to Heritage Acts, I wouldn’t be anymore surprised if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet.

Ride GBAAbout two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching Slowdive perform at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, while watching the band I thought to myself, man, the only thing better than this would be a Ride reunion, and there you go.  This isn’t the first time I’ve had Ride on the brain over the last month.  I was out with a friend back in October to see The Horrors, the band’s between set music included the Ride tune “Leave Them All Behind.”  I have since promptly dusted off the albums Nowhere and Going Black Again, as well as turned my friend on to Ride.

When I reflect back on the last few years, I’ve been fortunate enough to see many of my favorite bands from early nineties.  Lets reflect, shall we, in no particular order of course:  The Charlatans UK, Happy Monday (albeit a Shaun Ryder karaoke performance), My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, The Stone Roses, Pulp, James, Blur, and Slowdive.  Apologies if I missed anyone.  The Ride reunion will be epic, and I will be there, come hell or high water.

What made this reunion come together was Ride guitarist Andy Bell’s former band Beady Eye recently called it quits.  Don’t get overly concerned that the band has only announced 9 dates, there will be more, tour dates galore for that matter.  When Goldenvoice feels the time is right to reveal the 2015 Coachella Line up (I believe it will come much sooner than later this year), you can bet your bottom dollar that R-I-D-E will be on line 2, possibly right under Pink Floyd.  Talk about fun, Ride hitting the main stage right before Pink Floyd on Sunday night to close out the festival, that would be fun, right?  Not to mention, Mr. Bell owes us one,  his former band Beady Eye canceled their appearance at the festival earlier this year.  Add Ride to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

Here’s what Andy Bell had to say about the reunion:

“It’s going to be really cool. As we were all still friends, we always thought when the time was right we’d do it. And now the time is right.” 

Ride singer/guitarist Mark Gardener who always has been adamant that Ride would never reform, added this:

“People bought our records first time round…but our music has grown in significance since we’ve been away… We want to give the people what they want. We’d be idiots to go out and play a new album, but that’s not to say we wouldn’t make new music.” 

Not only was the time right, but I can only imagine the money is  much better than it was back in 1990.  To find out more about Ride, check out the piece I wrote on the band for Flashback Friday last year right here.

Now that we’ve gotten the Ride reunion out of the way, we start demanding a Catherine Wheel reunion.

Get reacquainted with Ride below:

New Music Tuesday: November 11, 2014

14/11/11 at 10.00pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

turntable1The following albums dropped today and are available in your local trendy record store or on digital download.

All 3 of the bands featured this week in New Music Tuesday are on my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List;  2:54, Parkay Quarts, and Tears For Fears.  There’s another release this week from some band called Pink Floyd, if they happen to end up on line 1 at the 2015 Coachella Festival that not only would be cool but also hilarious.  I would expect a track by track review of the new Pink Floyd album from contributing writer Present-Tense any minute now.

2:54  “The Other I”

2:54 is a London based indie rock band comprised of the Thurlow sisters, Colette and Hannah.  If you don’t know who they are, shame on you !  This is the shoegazers sophomore release, and is the follow-up to the 2012 self-titled debut.  We showed you the track “Orion” a few months back, and below is the latest single “Blindfold.”

Enjoy!

Download  “The Other I” here:

Parkay Quarts  “Content Nausea”

Over the last 2 years, this is one of my fave indie bands.  This is the Brooklyn band’s second release in 2014.  The other one, Sunbathing Animal, was released under the moniker Parquet Courts.  One of the things I like about these dudes is they don’t give a shit, they just make good music.  Presently, the band goes by Parkay Quarts, Parquet Courts, and PCPC.  How fun!

Listen to “Uncast Shadow Of A Southern Myth” here:

“Songs From The Big Chair” (Re-Issue)

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, a.k.a. Tears For Fears, are reissuing their 1985 classic album Songs From The Big Chair in a 6-disc box set.  I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing TFF and I’m hoping for a Midnight set on the Mojave stage at next April’s Coachella Festival.

The Decemberists Announce New Album & Share “Make You Better”

14/11/07 at 7.10am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

The DecemberistsThe Decemberists this week revealed that their seventh studio album entitled What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World will be in record stores on January 20.  This is the follow-up to the 2011 album The King Is Dead for the pride and joy of Portland, Oregon.  The new album’s title, which I will refer to as WATWWABW, was inspired by the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings in December 2012.

Read the press release here:

The first songs were highly personal, a change from the strong narrative thrust that has characterized much of The Decemberists’ work. “Having a family, having kids, having this career, getting older – all of these things have made me look more inward,” says Meloy.

These reflections come to the foreground in “12/17/12,” a song he wrote after watching President Obama address the nation following the Newtown school shootings. “I was hit by a sense of helplessness, but also the message of ’Hold your family close,’” recalls Meloy. This bewildering, conflicted feeling came out in a phrase near the end of the song – “what a terrible world, what a beautiful world”—that gave the album its title.

To accompany the announcement, the indie folk rockers shared the track “Make You Better’ (listen below), along with a string of European tour dates that begin on February 11 and conclude on March 1.  I’m sure you can already see where I’m going with this.  The Decemberists are a band that I’ve never seen play live after all these years, and I can’t think of anything better than a spot on line 2 at next April’s Coachella Music Festival.  One day when I have more time, I will countdown my top bands that I’ve never seen live, spoiler alert – The Decemberists will be near the top.  Add The Decemberists to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

The Decemberists WATWWABWWhat A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World trackllist:

01 “The Singer Addresses His Audience”
02 “Cavalry Captain”
03 “Philomena”
04 “Make You Better”
05 “Lake Song”
06 “Till The Water Is All Long Gone”
07 “The Wrong Year”
08 “Carolina Low”

KASABIAN Unveil Video For “Bow”

14/11/06 at 8.00pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

KASABIAN 4813No sooner than KASABIAN posted the video for the track “Stevie,” the Leicester lads unveiled a video for “Bow.”  The tune “Bow” is currently my fave tune on the band’s latest release 48:13.  Unfortunately, the band didn’t include it in the set when I saw them last month at the House Of Blues in San Diego.

In other KASABIAN news, Tom and Co. announced that they will release a deluxe edition of their highly-regarded (at least on this blog) fifth studio album 48:13 on November 17, in the U.K of course.  Perhaps, the band will be bringing the deluxe edition with them when they arrive back in the States in April for the 2015 Coachella Festival.  I’m officially adding KASABIAN to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

The deluxe edition will include the 48:13 album along with two B-sides, “Beans” and “Gelfing.”  The package also includes a DVD/CD of the group’s hometown gig at Leicester’s Victoria Park, attended by 50,000 of the band’s closest friends.  Additionally, KASABIAN will rerelease their four previous albums on vinyl on November 17.

Preorder your signed deluxe edition here.

Luna To Reunite, Just Not At The 2015 Coachella Festival

14/11/05 at 7.26pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

LunaAfter nearly ten years away , the indie dream-pop band Luna announced that they are reuniting.  The band that was formed by former Galaxie 500 frontman Dean Wareham back in 1991, confirmed the reunion with an announcement of a string of April 2015 dates in Spain.

Wareham said  “we’ve been talking about it for a little while, it’s been 10 years since the last show.  We got this offer from a promoter in Spain to do a short tour, and it sounded like fun.”  What sounds like fun to me is if they would have talked to Goldenvoice and reunited on the Outdoor stage at roughly 7:15 pm at the 2 Weekend Coachella Festival next April.  Instead, they plan is to do a short U.S. tour that will include, as Wareham adds, “fun places like New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles” post Spain. Those aren’t fun places, a fun place would be in my backyard.

The band released seven studio albums over a 15 year career, most notably, 1994’s Bewitched, and the 1995 release Penthouse.  The group’s current lineup consists of Wareham and his wife Britta Phillips, along with Sean Eden and Lee Wall.  I always make sure I let everyone know that the original Luna Lineup included drummer Stanley Demeski of one of my fave indie bands of all-time, The Feelies.

See you in Los Angeles next spring.

The Charlatans UK Announce New Album “Modern Nature”

14/10/22 at 1.18pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

The CharlatansSomeday when there’s more time, I’ll begin counting down my Top 365 bands of all-time.  Rest assured, the legendary baggy band The Charlatans will be in my Top 10.

The Charlatans confirmed this week that their first album since the passing of original drummer Jon Brookes will be released on January 26 in the U.K., it remains to be seen if the U.S. release will follow that schedule.  Mr. Brookes passed away in 2013 from brain cancer.

The forthcoming album entitled Modern Nature, is the follow-up to 2010’s Who We Touch.  It was in 2010 that Brookes collapsed on stage in Philadelphia, and later diagnosed with a brain tumor.  The band says that “Jon was adamant that there was going to be another Charlatans record,” he said, “and you have to put that into your own thoughts.”  Modern Nature features three drummers, Pete Salisbury of The Verve Fame, Stephen Morris of New Order, and Gabriel Gurnsey of Factory Floor.  For the time being, Salisbury will act as the touring drummer.

The band has a handful of U.K. dates lined up for March 2015, this will set up perfectly for a 2015 Coachella appearance in April.  Add The Charlatans to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

A few week ago the band dropped a video for the lead track “Talking In Tones” from the upcoming album, view it below.  The track “So Oh” will be the first single released from the album, look for it on December 1.  For those that have not followed the band’s career since their amazing 1989 debut Some Friendly, this will be their twelfth studio album, who knew? except me.

  • Tracklist:
  • 1. Talking In Tones
  • 2. So Oh
  • 3. Come Home Baby
  • 4. Keep Enough
  • 5. In The Tall Grass
  • 6. Emilie
  • 7. Let The Good Times Be Never Ending
  • 8. I Need You To Know
  • 9. Lean In
  • 10. Trouble
