Coachella 2013

We might be overestimating the interest in HTDA. Their Pomona show has been on sale for over a month and it is still not sold out yet. The Fox Theater isn't that big (a couple thousand people capacity, I believe).

I'm not actually going, but if I were, this would be my schedule

Friday
Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra -> Dam-Funk -> bit of Polica -> Stars -> bit of Johnny Marr -> Japandroids -> Four Tet -> bit of Dog Blood -> Yeah Yeah Yeahs -> Blur -> The Stone Roses

Saturday
Reignwolf -> Trash Talk -> Birdy Nam Nam -> Baauer -> 2 Chainz -> El-P -> Hot Chip -> The Postal Service -> The xx -> New Order

Sunday
Raider Klan -> Ghost B.C. -> JEFF The Brotherhood -> Jessie Ware -> Dinosaur Jr. -> Tame Impala -> Father John Misty -> Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds -> Wu-Tang Clan -> Dead Can Dance

maybe I'm being dense, what's the best way to print with clashfinder?

Check out the video Coachella just posted on their YouTube channel of the HTDA tour rehearsals. Looks glitchy as hell and they sound amazzzzzzing. The production looks like hundreds of really thin LED "strings", imagine watching scrambled television in the 90s and thats what the band will look like...

I just did my imaginary schedule that I do for every music festival I don't attend and your schedule is freakishly close to the one that I have. Only major difference is I would close the fest with Dead Can Dance. I like how you're not doing 5-minute increments of bands on opposite sides of the fest grounds like some folks' schedules I've seen. I can't wait to get reports and pictures when y'all get back. We'll be listening all weekend.

Yay, so glad to see someone else checking out Theophilus! His live show is fun.

It totally kills me. I'm just going to call it at the time. I have never seen Sigur Ros, and I've been waiting for a Phoenix show since they played that great sunset show at Bonnaroo.

Oof.

here's my pretend plan:

FRIDAY: Lord Huron > Youth Lagoon > Policia > Divine Fits > Alt-J > Four Tet > Modest Mouse > Yeah Yeah Yeahs > Blur > HtDA

SATURDAY: The Wombats > Trash Talk > Wild Nothing > Danny Brown > Puscifer > Violent Femmes > Hot Chip > Spiritualized > Descendents > Franz Ferdinand > Sigur Ros

SUNDAY: Slipping into Darkness > Ghost B.C. > DIIV > Thee Oh Sees > Kurt Vile > Dinosaur Jr. > Tame Impala > Vampire Weekend > Nice Cave and the Bad Seeds > Wu-Tang Clan > Dead Can Dance

I plan on starting out at Phoenix for the first few songs then making my way over to Sigur Ros. However I will be keeping a close eye on the Phoenix crowd and if I hear a large rawr I'm going to assume its Daft Punk and this fat fuck is going to run faster than ever

Just got back from Sigur Ros' Austin show, and holy hell was that an amazing show! It was my first time seeing them, and you can be sure it won't be the last after that witnessing that. The light/stage show was fantastic, and the band was phenomenal. They played a nice and long 2 hour set, and I loved every minute of it. They're touring live as an 11 piece band right now:

Jonsi - vocals/guitar
Bassist
Drummer/keyboardist
Percussionist/guitar
Pianist/percussionist
Trumpet
Trombone
French Horn (I think, it was hard to see her back there)
3 violinists

I'm not going to Coachella, but if I were, I'd catch the first 15 minutes of Phoenix then make my way over to Sigur Ros to bliss the quack out. If you want music to just melt away and get carried into the ether with, there's no better choice then Sigur Ros imo. I've always like their albums in the right mood, but I was skeptical of how their music would translate live. My fears were completely unfounded, they absolutely killed it. Some of the songs had such an amazing energy to them. The standing ovation they got at the end was heartfelt by everyone there, and the band seemed to be very appreciative and feed off the energy. Highly recommended unless you're just dying to see Phoenix, which I understand, that's a tough call!

Uhhh... yeah. You do NOT want to miss the HTDA set. The setup is pretty insane to see live.

This video gives you an idea of what it was like.

Have fun all you guys and gals heading to Coach. Very jealous.

HAVE FUN!!! And for the record, I want in on Girlchella 2014.

me too!
