I am interested to see what Firefly puts out for their lineup.  last year was their first year and they had black keys, killers, jack white.   not bad for a first year festival.  and the closest thing we have on the east coast to something like this.

[Royal]

I'm hoping Zoogma gets a slot at Firefly.

[capt_morgan]

not really

Zoogma!   Like em...saw them twice in FL.

 

They had a great marketing campaign at SOSMP for a couple of years.  THey walked around with a huge sign that said in glowsitcks  "Who the F*** is Zoogma?"      I never forgot it..that is for sure!   Every time I am at a festie and they are on the bill I have heard people in the crowd saying "Who the F*** is Zoogma?"     

 

Nice work Zoogma.  

[nancykind]

not really

 

yeah, doesn't do it for me either.     but this is why options rock.  

[gregoir]

If only I had about 2 G's to blow to go.  oh well I'll stick with my $180 trip to Camp Bisco

[concert andy]

I can not see the image at work, but I am assuming you are referring to Coachella?

 

Why do the Chili Peppers still headline?  I am so over them.

 

 

 

[hoagie]

Awesome venue, ho-hum old news lineup

[Terrapin Station]

You know your getting old when you only know 4 bands from the Coachella Tour.

This.

 

Friday I know a few more.

 

Sat = 4 or 5

Sun = 4 or 5 also

You getting old?  That doesn't sound like nearly enough to live up to your sketchy reputation.

Why are there two sets of dates on Coachella?

 

Johnny Marr from the Smiths +1

Lee "Scratch" Perry +1

Jello and the Guantanamo School +1

 

Who the fuck is Phoenix?

[vinandtonic]

[TheDHJ]

Not indie...hipster swill.

[Mr Bo Berry]

Zoogma totally melted my face on Jamcruise. Would love to have them late night at Vibes

Or instead of covering your ignorance with insults, you can use it as a chance to expand your musical knowledge and join the rest of us in the 21st century.

I have nothing but unrestrained loathing for hipsters. I gave them a listen, and read their article on wiki. To me, indie is/was Matador records, the Pixies, Sonic Youth, etc. This pseudo electronic ironic no wave that the hipsters shoot their load over while waxing poetic is pretentious at best.

 

If you know me, it's ludicrous to accuse me of being close minded musically. My tastes span many different genres and time periods, including music that has been released since 2000.

The Pixies disbanded in '93

Sonic Youth hasn't been relevant in the '00s

 

and if you have to ask (not even like, but ask) who Phoenix is, you're not relevant.

 

btw you'll never guess who Cochella caters to.

[jme]

fucking Beardyman.  I want to see his show so bad.  

[jme]

The Pixies disbanded in '93

 

and they are still the greatest band evar.  

[jg]

and they are still the greatest band evar.  

 

And they should totally be used to demonstrate one's knowledge of music from the last 20 years

[TheDHJ]

I know when the Pixies split. So in the same vein, the Grateful Dead stopped being relevant in 1970? Phish in 1995?

 

Coachella caters to everyone based on the lineup. There's a little of everything which is cool. Reggae, punk, Johnny Marr, Chili Peps, hipster crap.

[TheDHJ]

And they should totally be used to demonstrate one's knowledge of music from the last 20 years

So music has a shelf life now? I didn't say they were the only indie band, I invoked them to demonstrate what indie means to me.

 

Perhaps you should look at the definition of what indie, or independent music is supposed to be...originally indie bands were on indie labels...Sub Pop, Matador, Kill Rock Stars, etc.

 

Phoenix is signed with Universal. They are not indie. They are hipster shit.

[Chip]

Phoenix is a lot of things, but IMHO, not Hipster.  Demographic for phoenix is older than hipsters.

They're in the same vein as the Strokes, MGMT, etc. My impression from listening to them and reading up on them screamed hipster...

[Chip]

They are more of a like Wilco, NPR Crowd, Not Stokes, MGMT crowd wihich is more hipster types

Interesting. I always liked Jeff Tweedy's work.

 

Not surprised that people who like to listen to paint dry in monotone (NPR) would like Phoenix.

I'm going to bust out some Uncle Tupelo for my afternoon listening pleasure.

Glassnote Records (also known as the Glassnote Entertainment Group) is an independent record label that was launched by American music executive, Daniel Glass, in 2007

 

In 2009, the label released French indie rock band Phoenix's fourth album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, which was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2010.^[2]

Uncle Tupelo was great, love that stuff.

[TheDHJ]

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is the fourth studio album by the French alternative rock band Phoenix. The album was released internationally by V2 Records on 25 May 2009.

If you're asking, then you already know the answer

 

Here, let me drop a little knowledge on you.

[Lostsailr]

sounds like something a serial killer would listen to while cross dressing and keeping a heavyset girl captive in the basement

[jam kids on their vespas]

going. maybe. I have 4 days to make my case. currently trending upward.

[nikkiblue]

[gregoir]

Like 15 years ago it would of been sweet.  they fucking suck now.  I was embarrassed for them when I watched the Bonnaroo webcast. 

[Mr Bo Berry]

Totally agree with that Greg

[gregoir]

New Order has been playing the states a lot this year.  I am really hoping they can somehow be convinced to play Camp.

[insolent cur]

loufuckingreed!

 

not happening, but there are quite a few bands each day i'd like to see.
