Coachella: Saturday, April 25 - Part One
if you see these, you're almost there (photo)
Saturday is the biggest day of the Coachella Festival, and will probably attract the greatest number of people. Alt-gramma and I are filling up our respective Coachooser lists, and will have to coordinate or split up depending on what we want to see. The good news? The set times are finally up at the official site. The bad news? Rumor has it that it's going to be around 100 degrees on Saturday. Bring sunblock, a hat, and stay hydrated if you're coming! Here are three bands that I'm looking forward to seeing most, in no particular order:
L.A. band The Bird and the Bee released their EP of dreamy retro love songs, One Too Many Hearts on Valentine's Day. Say it with me, now...awwwwwww how cute.

Minus the Bear is a band that I keep trying to get into but something's missing. I like this song from 2007's Planet of Ice, but so far I haven't been inspired to seek out more. Maybe I just need to see them live, and I'll get an opportunity on Saturday.

We saw MGMT open for Of Montreal in November, but I'm excited to see them again. I think this band is going to be swamped with new fans, however, and I'm sure they'll be as impressed as I was by them.

I was in the same boat you were in, trying to figure out what I liked about Minus the Bear, but not sure where to start. Try out these tracks and work your way into them.
Absinthe Part At The Fly Honey Warehouse
Get Me Naked 2: Electric Boogaloo
Pachuca Sunrise
They're one of those groups where you find your favorite songs, then they eventually lead you into others.
I appreciate the tip, as I hadn't found anything yet I was excited about either.
Thanks! The song titles alone make me want to hear them!
