Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , RPM , EDM Getty Images Last year, Coachella added a second weekend, offering fans the opportunity to attend twice, organizers to charge twice, and artists up to a week off in the desert, golfing, meditating, visiting hallucinogen-friendly destination spots like Joshua Tree, or whatever else they deem fit. While acts could not technically book ticketed Los Angeles dates inbetween, many [...]

As is the case with any festival, the time will inevitably come when you have to pick between two bands you want to see that are playing at the same time. Generally, I'd say splitting your time between both is the way to go, but in the end that's easier said than done. This past weekend I had to make some tough decisions and pick one artist over another (and in some cases, over yet another). Since everyone’s musical taste is differs, some of you will disagree; leave your gripes in the comments and be done with it. Here are [...]

Missed this band at SXSW, so as you can imagine I was pretty fucking delighted that Filter placed Feathers on the lawn at their annual Goth-chella party. Hints of Blondie, Benatar and Depeche Mode were a mainstay in the group's music. They performed a tightly knitted set, very synth driven similar to Class Actress who played the exact same spot at last year's Filter Party. [...]

It's that time again! We're headed to Indio to soak up the music of the last weekend of Coachella 2013. We'll be bringing you the sights and writing about the sounds as the festival wraps up another year of taking...
Alright, we've avoided sharing all the bootlegs of this with. We shared that handheld recording of the Coachella teaser, but that was the best quality version we could get of the official teaser... Anyway, real instruments, funky music and Daft Punk with Pharrell . If you're in Minnesota, this song is sure to melt your mind's snow away.

On le sait, Coachella est l'un des plus gros rendez-vous musical de l'année en terme de festival, le paradoxe étant qu'il est aussi l'un des plus critiqué. Peu importe, ils pensent aux personnes frustrés ne pouvant pas se rendre sur place en filmant la quasi intégralité des shows sur les deux weekends, le premier ayant eu lieu les 12, 13 et 14 avril dernier. Les deux lives faisant le plus de plaisir étant ceux de Jurassic 5 et The Postal Service (qui a malheureusement été supprimé), typiquement le genre de groupe que l'on a très rarement l'occasion de [...]

For the uninclined, The Lucent Dossier Experience is a collective of creatives who perform loosely interpretative performances that are part circus, part performance art and part live concert – a beautifully perfected experience that leaves attendees in wonderment. The troupe consists of a huge array of performers, from dancers, to singers, to musicians, to aerialists, to live artists and everything in between. They have performed at some of the most biggest music festivals in the world including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Burning Man and Electric Daisy Carnival. We had the pleasure of attending The Lucent Dossier Experience at [...]

Use Coachella to your advantage. There are plenty of festival mechanisms you can exploit to make your weekend experience all the more better. Warning: some of these hacks require a certain...shall we say, "moral flexibility." But if you're willing to stow away your conscious here and there, you'll reap the benefits. 1. Lost and Found Upon arrival, immediately “lose” your stuff and check it into lost and found, and when it starts to get cold go back and get your jacket from the bag you [...]

Check out my eighth Last Shot column about my battle with Stage IV colon cancer over at OC Weekly .

From my success and failures last week (along with a little help from my friends) I have compiled a list of recommendations for Coachella this weekend. These bits of advice should make your life a little easier and more comfortable this weekend and for Coachellas to come. Check them all out after the jump. 1. Don’t camp. Rent. I am usually a fan of camping at festivals, but the Indio desert is a different animal all together. We stayed 3 miles away in [...]

After a week's worth of rumours, earlier this afternoon Twitter finally got around to launching their new music app. Many people, including myself, thought they'd launch it to coincide with last weekend's Coachella festival - that said, if anything, the timing is even better, as this weekend herald's the arrival of Coachella part two and another weekend of music. Plus it's Record Store Day on Saturday. Nice one Twitter ! The [...]
