OFFICIAL 2008 SAHARA LINEUP IS SICK/DAVE WANG MEET UP THREAD

[malcolmjamalawesome]

If what is getting posted right now is true, that is a pretty sick lineup.

Yeah, no Underworld, Chems, or Prodigy, but a ton of stellar mid level acts.

Fatboy, Pendulum, EROL ALKAN, Boys Noize, SMD, Justice + Ed Banger ... YES.

SO, during whose set does the Dave Wang T Shirt meet up take place?

[Brochella]

im still convinced they reveal underworld at some point based on that picture thats on their website

[gratytrainridesagain]

They really got a lot of good acts for the sahara this year, although I still have my fingers crossed for one more big act, but even if not it will be sick.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

ACTUALLY I need more time to look at the lineup before I vote for the day

[Jakedeez]

This years lineup seems really strong in the electronic dept. but everywhere else it falls short......am i wrong in thinking this? Maybe its too early

[gratytrainridesagain]

No youre right. Everywhere but the Sahara is lacking this year.

[depechemodekraftwerk]

250 bucks for mid level acts???? retarded.

[orbit]

Those are stellar acts?

Fucking Sandra Collins and Junkie XL?

[Bud Luster]

I think during Fatboy is appropiate, but I'm not "getting down" until Sat and SUn.

[Bud Luster]

Those are stellar acts?

Fucking Sandra Collins and Junkie XL?

both no good.

[fober]

I saw Chromeo in LA last week, it was a great show.

Even though the non-mexican-gangster looking guy doesn't have a singing voice.

[Brochella]

Those are stellar acts?

Fucking Sandra Collins and Junkie XL?

simian mobile disco, boys noize, sasha and digweed, justice, chromeo, booka shade, erol alkan, fatboy slim, hot chip, pendulum, adam freeland, cut copy, busy p/sebastian/kavinsky, surkin/para one/orgasmic, teenagers, dmitri from paris, james zabiela, diplo, cut copy, deadmau5.......and who knows.......maybe underworld......pretty amazing electro lineup

coachella is quickly becoming saharella

[FelixPena]

i called Deadmau5 ! ... its gonna be sick @ the sahara !

[C DUB YA]

pretty underwhelming lineup...

Junkie Xl, Dimitri (zzzzzz), Adam Freeland, James Zabiela - whatever... this is weak.

[Robototron]

If what is getting posted right now is true, that is a pretty sick lineup.

Yeah, no Underworld, Chems, or Prodigy, but a ton of stellar mid level acts.

Fatboy, Pendulum, EROL ALKAN, Boys Noize, SMD, Justice + Ed Banger ... YES.

SO, during whose set does the Dave Wang T Shirt meet up take place?

C'mon, does that really constitute a sick lineup? A few classics and then a bunch of trendy stuff a year too late? Erol Alkan's sets haven't been new or exciting for months now, and I really don't need to see Justice & all the Ed Banger guys again. Boys Noize & SMD will at least be interesting, but them being announced doesn't really make me all that excited.

The lineup as a whole has been kind of disappointing, actually. Three full days and only a handful of must-sees.

Half the groups Brochella mentioned wouldn't really fit in the Sahara, IMO. The Teenagers? Whatever.

Modeselektor has me pumped, though.

[happypappy420]

zabiela will be amazing! i saw him in chicago and he blew me away

[fober]

I love how the lineup is "disappointing" but I haven't heard any alternatives to the Sahara acts yet.

[thepoetblue]

Chromeo's recorded shite is shite, but I hear it's a great show.

SMD will be sick. Sahara's solid.

[Robototron]

I love how the lineup is "disappointing" but I haven't heard any alternatives to the Sahara acts yet.

We had an entire fake Sahara lineup thread (and I think most people made lineups that basically matched this one). Here (http://coachella.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14375).

[WeGoSublime]

What about that The Field is playing, the most progressive and revolutionary House/techno/micro artist of the past few years CERTAINLY of last year.

Would be nice to see Gui Boratto on there but im seeing him on friday in SF and at least we have BOOKA SHADE AND THE FIELD the two best house acts.

I agree the line-up appears lacking so far in all aspects other than the Electronica. They need more bands that arent just the MAIN/TOURIng hype bands of the year. Sure everyone loves Jens Lekman and Animal Collective and M.i.a , and I'll love to watch them . But it would be nice to see some bands that I cant just go check out at the Filmore on any given tuesday.

You guys like The Field ? you think they'll get a day-time saharah spot? i kinda hope not caus i wanna be rolling bawls for them

Dimitri from Paris? Are you serious? Look at that lineup, what subgenres of electronic music do you see there? 80-90% electro fidget house trendy suff, and 10% breaks/dnb/etc?

[fober]

We had an entire fake Sahara lineup thread (and I think most people made lineups that basically matched this one). Go find it.

hahahaha so you're sad Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Underworld, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher etc. etc. weren't in the lineup?

THIS ISNT A FUCKING "BEST OF" ALBUM

ITS A FUCKING FESTIVAL

[crazzz2007]

the sahara is well taken care of this year. anyone who says otherwise is crazy.

the rest of the lineup is a bit lacking.

[instinct]

The electronic department is lacking if you asked me.. I might as well just go to Together As One if I wanna see those acts..

[Brochella]

Chromeo's recorded shite is shite, but I hear it's a great show.

SMD will be sick. Sahara's solid.

SMD is absolutely gonna destroy the place, I can't wait.

[orbit]

I think we should all rave it up during Pendulum!

Dude, The Field one of the most revolutionary techno/whatever artists of the past few years? No way. I like him a lot, but that's a ridiculously hyperbolic statement.

He'll be great, though. I saw him open for !!! a few months ago and the crowd wasn't really feeling it, but it was a nice set. I'd prefer him during the day, myself.

And for those of you too lazy to click links, my own dream lineup was:

Friday:
1:00-2:15: Efdemin
2:45-3:30: Âme
4:00-5:30: Dixon
6:00-7:10: Chloe
7:40-9:00: The Field
9:30-Midnight: Michael Mayer (alternatively, a Supermayer DJ set)

Saturday:
1:00-2:15: Brodinski & Yuksek
2:45 - 4:00: Feadz
4:30-5:30: Institubes Paris Terror Club
6:00-7:30: Prins Thomas
8:00-9:15: Cut Copy
9:45-11:00: The Juan Maclean
11:30-12:30: Matthew Dear as Audion

Sunday:
12:30-1:30: Heartthrob
2:00-3:15: Einmusik
3:45-5:30: Agoria
6:00-7:00: Pan-Pot
7:30-8:50: Modeselektor
9:20-10:15: Sascha Funke
10:45-Midnight: Ellen Allien

So at least a few made it!

[thepoetblue]

Pendulum is a triple w00t

Who do you guys think is gonna make the most noise in Sahara this year? My money's on SMD, Boys Noize, or Booka Shade.

Modeselektor.

[merznerve]

what about kraftwerk?
though, i can't imagine it being much different than the last time they played. ( i wasn't at coachella 04, but saw them for their tour after)

[orbit]

Modeselektor.

[jayce]

DANCECHELLA 2008

[insbordnat]

a return to the roots of coachella, that's what I'm saying. goooo sahara.

[Robototron]

what about kraftwerk?
though, i can't imagine it being much different than the last time they played. ( i wasn't at coachella 04, but saw them for their tour after)

I don't know, I figured they probably wouldn't play in the Sahara.

[orbit]

Paul said they will be in the minstage.

[superfiction]

DANCECHELLA 2008

seriously.

[TheCutestBoyAlive]

The lineup would be complete with the addition of the PRESETS and the GOSSIP

[insbordnat]

The electronic department is lacking if you asked me.. I might as well just go to Together As One if I wanna see those acts..

Except for Sasha + Digweed, none of these artists have played TOA...

Unless you want to go to see Swedish Egil...you know you wanna

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Me and Dave Wang are sticking to our guns ... we are SUPER BUMMED to be missing out on this year's Sahara Tent. Make us proud, ravers.

[lowfront]

This is going to be a blast

[johnnypolite]

Where is Rabbit in the moon?

[fatbastard]

I'm hoping all of these French and British acts are going to result the sale of crepes and puddings.

[woogie846]

I've been hoping for Fatboy Slim since '06, finally!

[signmeup]

INSTIIIITTTTTUUUUUUUBBBEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paulb]

i look forward to the Sahara this year...I think 2 more big acts will be added Friday, and 1 big act on Saturday...hopefully Prodigy, CHem Bros or Underworld...

[crazzz2007]

you think wrong.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I think Sunday is my favorite day for dancin'.

[dnham]

this is going to be awesome. Sahara tent is where I'll be spending most of my time! =)

[gratytrainridesagain]

Put the Jaxx in there Friday as a headliner and I have no complaints whatsoever about this festival. I mean Fatboy is gonna be great but that would just be out of control if they put them back to back.

[Westy]

There are a lot a great electronic acts this year (like every year). I'm especially looking forward to Boys Noize, SMD and Justice. Should be good.

There's too much negativity on this board at the moment. People need to look at the quality of some of these acts and their current popularity.

[superfiction]

hopefully Prodigy, CHem Bros

either of these would make it my favorite festival yet

[pinguinotonto]

i totally realized VITALIC isn't on the poster, and that really sucks. But still pretty stoked for a lot of Sahara this year, can't wait.

[jayce]

I think Sunday is my favorite day for dancin'.

Sunday will probably be rave night for us. But Pendulum (and diplo and adam freeland, and busy p, and datarock, and spank rock) are on Friday night. I'm 25 years old, and unfortunately, my body and brain can only handle one night of raving at coachella.

Fuck, Saturday looks pretty awesome too.

[digitalface]

So glad most of the stuff I'm in it for this year are in the shade. But since last year, by Sunday the Sahara smells like crotch.

[Transitory]

fuck im actually stoked for Zabiela... i dont know what the other guy is talking aboot

[digitalface]

Adam was a little heavy handed on NYE in SF. Dunno, think I've lost some love there.

[digitalface]

Zabiela is a much better DJ choice than many past, but it's a couple years late. Still gonna be there for it, but just sayin'.

[Max Cady]

The Field
Booka Shade


So solid, hope they are not early in the day

[jayce]

*bump*

[orbit]

Yeah, I lost total interested on Freeland since his GU release, but I've heard good comments about his last hate ep.

Zabiela always puts a great show, I hope he plays more breaks than house, though. I'll be surely watching him if there's no big conflicts.

[send me ctrpllrs]

Deadmau5 was there, I think that was it though.

I'm a lot more into electronic music than I was last year, so I am excited for the Sahara tent.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

We don't need a meet because everyone's going to be in the Sahara all day anyway.

Although if we have to choose a day, Sunday.

[oKPSo]

Those are stellar acts?

Fucking Sandra Collins and Junkie XL?

Junkie is consistently entertaining... Sandra, on the other hand, lacks in enthusiasm but I'm guessing she's been put on the bill because of her DVJ sets with Vello Virkhaus? After seeing Daft and Chemical Bros. live acts, I have a new appreciation for the visual element to electronic perfomances...

[micktravis]

The Field
Booka Shade


So solid, hope they are not early in the day

The Field's album was one of my favorites of last year, but sadly he's boring as hell live. He opened for !!! in LA this fall and his "show" consisted of him standing still in front of his laptop. I'm not criticizing his music, but if the live show just consists of mixing elements on a laptop, at least add some visual effects to make it interesting. If it just looks like you're checking your email, I'm not sure what the point is of being on a stage.

What the fuck? That was a great set. Who cares what he was doing on stage, the "electronic artists who just dick around on their laptop suck" argument is the dumbest shit. He's not there for you to look at. He's there to make you dance.

[nationocean]

last year it was crazy. i had all these bands on my list and then BAM! i lost all sense of time in the dance tent.. digitalism, mstrkrft, justice, felix da houscat, lcd soundsystem! what a sweaty dance filled day!

then the year before that when paul oakenfold played before madonna during sunset. AMAZING!

and the year before that..

*you get the point*

SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK

[malcolmjamalawesome]

The ONLY disappointing thing about this year is not seeing everyone lose their fucking minds and just have total emotional meltdowns during "All My Friends". Oh, and the fact that I can't go. You fucking cocksuckers.

[Daft Fro]

Lets get a circle going~

[Trick Loves The Kids]

IT'S ON

[gratytrainridesagain]

My first year was 06 and I went mainly for Tool but every year I find myself in the sahara more in more. I was in there almost all day Saturday last year and all of Sunday afternoon. Looks like I'll be there most of this year's weekend.

[quicksand]

Fatboy is gonna be so fat. I'm also hoping for a late announcement of Underworld.

[Daft Fro]

I dunno... too much faggy electro shit this year..

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Oh, shit, I forgot you are a fellow Pukkelpop alum, Instinct!

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Aaaaaaaand 1,000 posts.

concensus you arrogant jedi?

[thedevious]

We don't need a meet because everyone's going to be in the Sahara all day anyway.

Although if we have to choose a day, Sunday.

Can you tell me what I should check out Sun that has you excited. I must not know some of the acts because for me Fri and Sun pale in comparison to the majesty that is Saturday. I actually have a full day of uninterrupted goodness in store for me for the first time since Sat 99.

This is in no way a flame, I am sincerely curious to know where to be on Sunday. I'm already checking out the obvious ones. A-trak, kid sis, SMD, Chromeo, Justice, and Spiritualized.

See you all in the SAHARA!

BTW Does anyone know what day Yelle is performing? I hope it's not Saturday, my plate is full!

[ghettojournalist]

Modeselektor.

i can't believe i slept on this. listened to the stuff and i am now eager to see the set. can't wait to dig into the rest of the lineup.

[donkey sex]

Meet me in the last portapottie with a ton of that clear germ remover on your right palm. 10:30pm sharp.

[nbvwes]

No youre right. Everywhere but the Sahara is lacking this year.

i think things are (potentially_) looking up this year for the Mojave as well... as long as they don't fuck up the stage-booking & set times... and the next person who mention Sahara & Kraftwerk in the same sentence, i'm punching them in the face...


Meet me in the last portapottie with a ton of that clear germ remover on your right palm. 10:30pm sharp.

i'm in the next one over hotboxing... quit sniffing at my portapottie vents!!!!

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Can you tell me what I should check out Sun that has you excited.

What up dude,

The acts I'm REALLY excited about Sunday are Booka Shade and Simian Mobile Disco. If they are playing back-to-back it's game over. Other than that I'm excited about Justice, Chromeo, Dimitri From Paris, and Deadmau5. Non-Sahara acts I want to see: The Streets, Gogol Bordello, Kid Sister, Les Savy Fav, and the Cool Kids.

Every time I look at the lineup it gets harder for me to choose a favorite day =\

[electronicrevolution]

Ok so the Sahara lineup in my opinion is certainly the most promising this year. As for topping last year...Not even close, a few of you have mentioned the overall status of this years electronic acts as "stellar." I am partial to disagree with you being that most of them are truely mid-level at best. There are some very talented and rockin acts on the poster however. For any electronic enthusiest who has yet to see Booka Shade...Don't miss their set! Based on past performances I'm very confident that their's will be one of the most memorable and talked about acts within the genre. James Zabiela never fails to deliver, I'm sure Justice, Hot Chip, Sandra Collins, and Sasha/Digweed with come raw as well. Can't wait to meet all of you wonderful folks, see you in April!

[phyrekraker]

yeah, i'm still up in the air about this whole thing.

[Daft Fro]

SMD is gonna be hotter dan fish grease.

[WeGoSublime]

Dude, The Field one of the most revolutionary techno/whatever artists of the past few years? No way. I like him a lot, but that's a ridiculously hyperbolic statement.

I saw M.I.A. at Fabric in London... I'm not to sure why people like this girl. I think she neither does hip-hop nor electronica justice.

Pendulum, on the other hand, rock the fucking shit out of a stage.

[drugks Gillespie]

Who's seen Danny Tenaglia recently? I have a feeling he's gonna be fun.

Sunday. Yeah, Sunday.

[digitalface]

So are you all wearing Dave Wang t-shirts so it'll be easier for the UCs in Heineken threads to spot you all? Sounds like a blast.

[betao]

fuck me, i'm excited as hell for the sahara this year...

booka shade
fatboy slim
simian mobile disco
justice
pendulum
sasha/digweed
adam freeland
modeselektor
james zabiela
institubes
erol alkan
midnight juggernauts

and to top it all off... kraftwerk at the main stage. beautiful.

but yes, a chemical brothers/underworld/prodigy add would make me shit myself.

[darrocknroll]

is there someone besides malcolmjamalawesome that could kindly tell me who the fuck dave wang is?
:)

[nbvwes]

best day to do MDMA?

for me, Saturday...



I hope JJ plays laying down like that. Kinda like an intimate hawaiian luau and twenty thousand people coming to eat.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

just curious Malcolm, what do you think of this years lineup?

Thanks for asking! Well, for starters I'm bummed out that I can't go this year. I think this year has a super strong mid card Sahara lineup like last year did which is always fun. I've never seen SMD, Boys Noize, Booka Shade, Erol Alkan, or Fatboy Slim live. I think everyone had way too much of a "the sky is falling" reaction to Jack Johnson being a headliner, because the fact is, I think it's an overall strong lineup. The Roger Waters set is pretty unique and the people on this board have been BEGGING for Portishead for years so I don't see what everyone is up in arms about. I obviously tend to get most pumped for the Sahara lineup and I think the cool thing this year will be seeing the turnout and the difference for Justice and the Ed Banger crew compared to last year, now that they're both a little more in the public's awareness. Pendulum should be sweet. I think there's definitely one more Sahara headliner to be added but what do I know? I probably sound like the "Radiohead is going to get added" dildos when I say that. Underworld is my prediction but you never know. If not, I assume the headliners will be Fatboy Slim, Sasha and Digweed, and Justice.
Long story short, I think it's going to be a big year for the rave tent and myself and Dave Wang are upset to be missing out.

[KungFuJoe]

well said, MJA.

does anyone think it's a lock that Cut Copy will be in the Sahara? for some reason I can see them going in the Mojave.

Either way I'm also stoked for SMD, Pendulum, Fatboyslim, Boys Noize, Modeselektor, the Field & Erol Alkan. among others.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Cut Copy = Not in Sahara. You heard it here first.

[KungFuJoe]

Fair enough. If the Presets were there they'd be in the Sahara. Cut Copy would probably go over better in another tent. I just hope they don't conflict with any of the other groups I mentioned above. I'll be smart to catch their show below the Echo in March.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Malcolmjamalawesome, you're not going to Coachella this year? When did this get decided? I hadn't heard. And why isn't Dave Wang going? Is it sort of a Fight Club thing?

[Hawkings]

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Yes, unfortunately I hvae to attend a destination in wedding Coachella weekend this year. First one I've missed since '04. Total bummer considering I LOVE this year's Sahara lineup. And, uh, yes ... The Wanger goes wherever I go. I love Dave's MySpace page.

Oh! I am working on another acoustic medley of songs by artists performing in this year's Sahara Tent to accompany the one I did for last year. I'll let you all know when it's done. If anyone gives a shit. Oh man.

[Crackerfromcrenshaw]

Cut Copy = Not in Sahara. You heard it here first.

If its a band of anysort it will not be in the Sahara this year, too many dj's are on the roster so they probably will have an electro/pop (mojave) place and then the sahara as always... I only remember Faithless in '07 and Madonna in '06 being bandish things in the sahara, the rest were dj's please correct me if im wrong

Which picture is that?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

There was some picture that made some reference to going to the desert. Or maybe I was tricked.

[brando4n82]

I would like to participate in this Wang-up. Is there a spot decided?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I'll have to check with Trick Loves The Kids. We might wait for the set times to get announced or we could just pick an act likely to play in the afternoon. Do you have your Dave Wang T Shirt yet?

[Bud Luster]

I like a Friday afternoon meetup too. Those close to the Wang can make the decision though. Still working on a shirt. Not too many Dave Wang quotes in the wicki entry ; )

[malcolmjamalawesome]

It's not really up to me since I won't be there.

[Bud Luster]

Yes you will. Your spirit lives in the collective one-ness of the Wanger.

[brando4n82]

*sigh* oh, we need dave wang shirts?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I hereby declare that Dave Wang shirts are NOT mandatory for the Dave Wang Sahara Tent Meet Up.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

We should all just meet at Booka Shade.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

AND IT IS DECIDED. Dave Wang Meet Up. Booka Shade. Where at?

[thelastgreatman]

Y'all might want to wait for set times. Just saying.

malcolmjamalawesome: could you post a larger pic of your avatar? I wouldn't mind using that for my Dave Wang shirt.

[rage patton]

Actually, his avatar is an actual t-shirt.

I have seen people wear it before.

All I can think of when I see that shirt is Dave Wang.

[boarderwoozel3]

The wang has been burned in our memories

[Somewhat Damaged]

Was Dave Wang at the LA Daft Punk show dressed as Daft Vader?

[boarderwoozel3]

Does anyone have a picture of this Daft Vader? Sounds sick.

[jayce]

look for the girl wearing the "canadian girls love dave wang" shirt.

at booka shade.

[rage patton]

I am, in all liklihood, not going to be at Booka Shade.

Is there going to be a Fatboy Slim meet up???

[boarderwoozel3]

Fatboy has a good chance of closing the mainstage ala tiesto.

well, we can wait for the set times and choose based on that or just pick a band now. I'm assuming most of the Wang crew will be at booka shade but I don't want to exclude anyone. what about boyz noize?

[rage patton]

Fuck that shit!

That would seriously suck beyond all reason. I want fuckin Fatboy vs. Fratboy!!!

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Yo Malcolm, when you had your Dave Wang shirt on how many people (besides me!) stopped you and recognized it? It seems like a good way to say "HI I'M FROM THE MESSAGE BOARDS ON THE INTERNET" without seeming like a total nerd, nawmean?

[Botrocker]

I think boys boize sounds absolutely perfect!

whatchoo all think?

Werd!

[KungFuJoe]

I've just learned of the Holy Fuck. I could totally see them in the Sahara. What do you guys think?

I would actually love to see them open the main stage on sunday. That would be a great way to start the fucking day. Or perhaps, in the later afternoon. around 2 or 3

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Yo Malcolm, when you had your Dave Wang shirt on how many people (besides me!) stopped you and recognized it? It seems like a good way to say "HI I'M FROM THE MESSAGE BOARDS ON THE INTERNET" without seeming like a total nerd, nawmean?

Well, for starters, I'm sure I did still seem like a total nerd. There were about 15 of us wearing Dave Wang shirts and I personally got approached by about 4 people who recognized the reference from the boards and I believe a few of my friends did, also. But they didn't get anyone's names or anything. Boys Noize sounds good, too.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

...though, most people who probably DIDN'T recognize it from the message board would just go "Hey. Who's Dave Wang?" and then I hadn't really prepared a response despite the fact the shirts said "Ask Me About Dave Wang" so I normally said either "He says Trance is Dead" or "Actually, the shirts were supposed to say DON'T Ask Me About Dave Wang."

[damon8]

the tent is gonna be so sweet this year!!!

[thedevious]

I took the pic, but didn't wanna approach you about yr shirt. I didn't wanna seem like a total fucking nerd.

Yes Boyz Noize is the act to meet at, anyone who isn't there can go eat a dick.

And I do believe that is a Paul Frank tee in the avatar.

SAHARA NIGGAZZ!

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Does anyone have a problem with Boyz Noize as the official meeting set?

[emtgreg]

Does anyone have a problem with Boyz Noize as the official meeting set?

i suppose it beats uffie as a meetup.....



;)

[betao]

i'd say booka shade would make a good one. count me in.

but we should wait till set times to find a set thats convenient for everyone

[rage patton]

Only 2 months and 3 weeks till set times! Wooooooo!

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Well, I'm assuming most of the people who will be attending will be checking the forums between the set times being posted and the festival so there's really no harm in waiting for set times. That and I don't think my friends are going to follow me to Booka Shade so I'd be happy to meet people at that set too, even if there's a bigger meet at another set.

[triceratops oatmeal]

I think whoever misses Booka Shade will regret it. or they just won't know what they're missing.

I just started getting into their stuff because of this board & them being on the lineup. I got Movements. Like it a lot, but still didn't have them pegged as a must see.

Then I saw some live clips & downloaded some live recordings. Now I don't plan on missing them for anything.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

triceratops oatmeal = my favorite new poster by far

And yeah, listening to their albums doesn't really make it seem like they would have a crazy live show but everything I've seen and heard says the exact opposite. I'm not missing them for ANYTHING.

Ding! I only wish M.A.N.D.Y. was playing this year as well. Hopefully I'll at least catch a set at Conference. They're playing the Get Physical Party @ Studio A on 3/27. Yee-ah!

trust me trick, and other wang members who have yet to see them live

they will ignite the place. Trust me on this. I saw them at V fest in august, didn't know what to expect, but they had everyone going crazy. they will definitely be a sahara act to remember

[Robototron]

Given that Booka Shade have a huge reputation for being insanely awesome live, I think everyone will trust you.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

they were at avalon in hollywood earlier last year, im seeing them again

[digitalface]

Haven't seen Booka live and haven't heard a Boys set yet either, well, shit-- I guess there's little chance I'll leave the Sahara much this year except for a few key bands. It's not likely I'll have a day-glo Wang shirt on, though. I'd rather keep personal festivities relatively anonymous, ifyaknowwhatimean.

[brando4n82]

i'd say booka shade would make a good one. count me in.

but we should wait till set times to find a set thats convenient for everyone

Id say Boys Noize is what its gonna be, but of course, we shall wait til set times.

the only problem i would have meeting up durring Booka Shade, is that i want a nice sweet spot for that, and dont really want to take time away from that set to talk/meet all of you. I want to enjoy that set to the fullest, make sense?

Boys Noize, we can all meet up somewhere towards the middle/back of the Sahara, have a quaint meet and greet, and then go fuckin wild.

*pondering about making a Wang shirt*

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Boys Noize is a great pick. I was super amped up about the sahara tent last year and now I'm feeling like this year's might be even more sick. What a fucking bummer. I want to thank all of you for Wanging on in my absence. I'll make it up to everyone in 09, when MSTRKRFT comes back.

[brando4n82]

Seriously dude, I love weddings as much as the next person, probably even more, but in this case, ditch that shit!

2009 Sahara Tent Dave Wang Meet Up will be during MSTRKRFT.

My best friend is getting married in April. Before they decided on a wedding date, I told them explicitly that I would not make their wedding if they had it during Coachella...and I'm the best man!

Needless to say, they scheduled it two weeks before Coachella.

[djd212]

This years lineup seems really strong in the electronic dept. but everywhere else it falls short......am i wrong in thinking this? Maybe its too early

i agree in this one

[Wheres the beef?]

I'd be down to meet but not while I'm taping.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

You guys: "ARRRRRRGHHHHH! STOP CRUSHING MY SKULL AND MELTING MY FACE OFF, SAHARA TENT!" You heard it here first.

[Brochella]

mmmmm yeahhhh http://youtube.com/watch?v=1jDH8pYP3mY

Danny Tenaglia is going to be spinning my best friend's track at Coachella. Cool.

[Wheres the beef?]

Booka Shade....

Didnt know this was their song....

The Sahara is going to be on fire!

[drugks Gillespie]

Yeah, body language is most definitely a Booka track. I can't wait to see that song live along with night falls and white rooms. This is my can't miss set of coachella. I'll be anticipating this all weekend.

Damn, I'm in a similar situation, but not as lucky...Once my best friend settled into a relationship we hardly got together nor spoke on the phone as much. She mentioned getting married in April about 6 months ago and it never dawned on me the possibility of conflicting with Coachella. Guess what? The invitation arrived a week or so ago and the wedding date? April 26th! The time? Doesn't say, but...It better be happening before sundown because after that, you know where I'll be! Now...how do I tell her?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Maybe you should set her on fire.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

So, again, are we assuming the Sahara headliners are Fatboy, Sasha and Digweed, and Justice?

[Wheres the beef?]

I'll go with that. I doubt any of them will actually close the tent though, except for Fatboy.

[rage patton]

So what is the deal with Kavinsky? Is he just doing at set with Sebastian? Or will he be by himself? And if he is by himself, will he de doing a regular DJ set, or will he playing his own stuff?

[signmeup]

im assuming him and sebastian will spin together. but i guess its rumored that he will play live for the first time.

[brando4n82]

So what is the deal with Kavinsky? Is he just doing at set with Sebastian? Or will he be by himself? And if he is by himself, will he de doing a regular DJ set, or will he playing his own stuff?

i would assume they are playing seperately. If they were spinning together, I would think they'd be billed as Sebastian & Kavinsky, rather than 2 seperate artists

[malcolmjamalawesome]

They will play seperately, I feel. Also, if you run into Kavinsky, don't bring up his Testarossa ... it's a very sore subject.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Hopefully dumb fuck SebastiAn won't blow the Sahara speakers like he did the Lollapalooza afterparty. Overraging, dude, not sweet. Not fucking sweet at all.

[CalmerThanYou]

If he plays "LIVE" then that will be crazy. He can't mix for a damn, so there's nothing to lose.

Edit: Also dude's, I dont know this Dave Wang character, but i love what you've done with him. I've been lurking for over a year, and that shit has made me laugh real hard. I think i saw him on the disco ball at LCD last year...

[malcolmjamalawesome]

He's just a simple dude who feels trance is dead.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Dave Wang's powerful rhetoric defined the issues of the war for the nation, the world, and posterity. His extraordinary command of the English language was evidenced in the Gettysburg Address, a speech dedicating the cemetery at Gettysburg that he delivered on November 19, 1863. The speech defied Wang's own prediction that "the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here." Wang's second inaugural address is also greatly admired and often quoted. In these speeches, Wang articulated better than anyone else the rationale behind the Union cause.

[CalmerThanYou]

That's fair.

[CalmerThanYou]

He's just a simple dude who feels trance is dead.

Does he ever enter the forum, or does he channel his thoughts through you?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I normally speak for The Wanger. My Dave Wang history is a little fuzzy, but I believe there was an imposter Wang running around the forum for a while.

Also let it be known that for a time, all Dave Wang references were instantly deleted on the Lollapalooza forum. So fuck them and their EDMless festival.
