Hailed by the Boston Globe as an "adorably spunky guitar prodigy," 25 year-old Annie has been building a buzz opening… a member of Polyphonic Spree. Crazy talented guitarist

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtxAou8c28k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3uqjuOg8xw

Animal Collective – blowing up on the boards, experimental psych rock music that makes Sonic Youth seem inside the box, not sure I totally get, or what substances are appropriate for them. Bad stomach grinding acid perhaps for the 2nd link and 3rd. the first track Fireworks is kicking my butt, diggin’ it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6KPDWNAPBU – Fireworks neat song, lyrics next to vid, more accessible than some, but afraid of the other tracks. “They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes” “That sacred night where we watched the fireworks”

4th group, won’t catch but wouldn’t mind

Carbon/Silicon, group of Mick Jones (the Clash, Big Audio dynamite), Tony James, can definitely hear Clash echoes. Links and few others I heard sounded a bit disappointing thou. I should move em’ to 3rd group out of respect.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7tD8AJrIZQ

Dwight Yoakam – country singer from way back, cool he’s at Coachella, don’t think I’ll be able to see though with likely conflicts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w49kODK02Bw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZCNHnSJ1Fw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgFUUiiJfG4 I Want You to Want Me cover, had to put this or Suspicious Minds cover on, those are the rules

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh2oseTibx4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQwHniME_uE

The Bird and the Bee – dour, melancholic anachronistic easy listening, elevator ride into hell feel. Kinda good for pre-Portisheading thou
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDlEXQaMBpk getting some exposure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI3g9RaVkdY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSBmUBRyhXE

Yelle – French singer, electro-pop, might be fun to dance too really, maybe they’ll have lessons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiZn41KIQaI – guy pumping his shoes up before dancing is classic.
http://www.youtu+be.com/watch?v=SbHJ36prOfg

Mark Ronson, seemed to have a lot of covers and songs with guest vocalists, had trouble discerning what he might be like at Coachella. May be more known as producer. He produced Amy Winehouse, DJ’s, lots of widely varying opinions on the message boards (not touching this debate with 10’ pole).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eEcLntc2sk Radiohead cover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4kBr5WWiBM Smiths cover, couldn’t find Pixies

New Young Pony Club – bubble pop, new wave inspired, 80’s vibe. According to Last FM mini bio, inspired by LCD Sound System. Electro is representing all over on Saturday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yYAOUc7YBE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT1V8a6Pymc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8Bp1bCcZME live

Uffie. – multinational, paris based 20 yr old, electro or nu-skool rap. Bubble gum rap ? Her boy friend DJ’s while she raps. I really should put her higher as she is fun and interesting. Hard to take young jet setting sweet voiced accented girl laboring to affect the language and attitude of gangster rap, seriously thou. Your rhymes are fresh and ya got a glock and popped, ya want to fuck, really… Imitating the attitude, language and style of hip hop through a foreign prism and reassembling the pieces, where it has lost any meaning or authenticity but are merely musical building blocks. Still it’s a fun reflection of the original source material. It’s like Hermione of Harry Potter is gonna hit the pipe and car jack someone.

Little Brother – hip hop, like the ‘too the window, to the wall, skeet skeet’ Lil Jon rap reference in one of the songs

Enter Shikari – Tool fans need to go somewhere. I think i'm a bit old for them, surprised there not just at festivals with My Chemical Romance and such. Bigger in UK, posthardcore, trancecoreor (trance and hardcore metal), sceamo perhaps. Definitely a mosh pit, maybe fires
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2gT1...eature=related at Reading Fest, nice, fact they played the festival saving them from the bottom group

original flavor Shakira ? http://www.shakira.com/ or the new caffinated version ?





The Suck group

Scars on Broadway – Daron Malakian, guitar player of System of a Down, in band, hard to find, will be a surprise, I’m not so into System of a Down, which is presumably greater than sum of it’s parts, so saying no to a ‘part’ side project. If fan of SOAD or a choad, check it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-7Bzv2GFUg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLxu2WrZ2AY

Turbonegro - Marilyn Manson of Norway. Norway representing on Saturday. Costumes like the Village People, a sailor, and german officer, and an Alice Cooper singer. 3rd link is a bit Ramones sounding. Hope their not racist. Why did a band have to come from so far to suck, don’t we have enough bands that suck that we have to import them ? Very this is Spinal Tap. Chant for Berserker

Akron/Family – name sounds like a cult. Folk Rock with jams, might be good, not my cup of tea, let’s go watch someone else do a sound check or find robots or trash can art, where’s Leonard Cohen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KR85gYuKwI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoqqDIC_Mgw

Bonde Do Role – latin, do the ‘hey oh’ song…, am I getting my head shook, whistle blown and shot of Tequila at a club in Tijuana ? no ? then why is this music on ?

The Teenagers – French light pop band lyric “I fucked my American cunt”, k, good. Battles with Yo ! Majesty for worst on the bill Saturday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngHDYzhDBk4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JshkoBVFy3Y

Yo! Majesty - k, went to the “Lil Kim’ and Peaches School for Young Ladies”. Note: Yo! Majesty might get in fights with audience members or naked. They will try to find me for writing this to burn me with a crack pipe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pfQT7etnKg – delicate like porcelain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXdQ4_2uw0c – one of them has her shirt off, mmmmmm kay
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BmMOgqYv7A – um not trying to find these or anything but shirt off again


Just impressions of various bands, i'm sure there way off, shallow, poorly thought out and the like. Haven't seen most of the bands live so, take it for what its worth. Anyways, everyone doing their own research and has different taste, but thought i'd post. (Ducks from incoming flames)

edit: moved Kraftwerk from 3rd to 2nd group

[greenplastic875]

This thread fails in so many levels:

1) Indie rock simply means independent from a major record label. There's no such distinct sound as how the hipsters want you to perceive.

2) Techno is not a catch all term for all things considered electronic music, but rather a genre of its own (see: Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, etc.). Erol Alkan never spins techno, he only does the electro crap that is half-assed by Ed Banger.

[rage patton]

I also bet you would put Gogol Bordello in your suck category.

I commend you for your research... buuuuut. Having Kraftwerk in your third group and Carbon/Silicon in your fourth is unacceptable.

[betao]

You can thank America for giving EDM the name "electronica" and then later categorizing all of it as simply "techno".

Still, this is a great thread. Props for doing your homework and providing those youtube vids. I will check out some of them eventually (I want to check out cinematic orchestra..).

However, you should make more of an effort to see Kraftwerk. I think you'd be glad you saw them if you did.

aye, sorry Chomsky, they are terms I am using to distinguish, Indie rock you might find on Indie 103.1 or KROQ (when not sucking) or KCRW morning becomes eclectic as opposed to hard rock, electronic, rap, electro, 80's throwback, shoegaze, post-punk, emo, reggae etc... sorry if term isn't helpful or specific. Indie is a useful term to me, sorry if you think I buy into some corporate paradigm for using it.

Techno is helpful enough for me to generally distinguish acts in Sahara from rap, rock, Indie hipster stuff, etc... I'm not familiar enough to use jungle, house, breakbeats, trance, for finer levels of distinction. If you want you can pretend I put EDM instead of techno and then do the superior dance.

Yeah thought about Kraftwerk and Carbon/Silicon, and both out of respect, traditon and musical education was thinking I should see, but don't think I'd enjoy as much as above acts. At the 2005 festival, I saw Bauhaus out of respect rather than Chemical Brothers (have albums by both) for fun and regretted it. Maybe I will bump Kraftwerk up to 2nd.

Gogol is a band i don't get as much as message board folks for the insane gypsy carnival, but i'm sure on Sunday they'll blow you away.

Make sure you see Gogol. They were AMAZING last year at Coachella and I have seen them twice since then. They are always a blast.

[HEADSTRUCK]

sasha and digweed are not classic techno but rather shitty progressive

[CaliMag]

I don't agree with many of your comments, but a great read anyway - I realise that this is counter to this Board's tradition. Because I didn't agree 100% I suppose I should call you names and post pictures of kitties in compromising positions but I would rather not.

I believe you remember this wrong - I am a big fan of both and saw both in 05. Chem Bros conflicted with Coldplay.

Thanks for that. Yeah I know some of posts on forums are very,'ZOMG you don't like a band I think are the next Beatles' or 'I agree with alot of things but will find an error and pound ya'. I swear music geeks are much less forgiving and more prone to seeking to maintain their fragile egos by flames than other message boards.

Dang, who did i miss seeing Bauhaus ? It must have been Bauhaus into Cold Play, missing Chemical Bros. Anywho, I don't want to miss an act that might be fun, purely to see an act that is more 'important'. Always tough calls when who to see.

[dorkfish]

and punt

[ayoo_BEN]

waiit, newcomer here. what do you mean by group 1 2 3 and 4. like does that mean all in the same place or something?

[mvanwinkle]

fuck you take man man out of your suck group right now before i back hand you. man man. sigh. how i love you man man. I had'nt listed to them in about a month and poped them in my car on the way to school today. they are going to rock you are an idiot if you miss them

[MaxPowers]

When I read this thread I pictured Chris Farley in Drag reading restaurant reviews to Adam Sandler.
Can't quite agree on your groups, but thier yours, thanks the links were helpful though, it helped get up to speed with the acts I didn't know yet.

[Hawkings]

waiit, newcomer here. what do you mean by group 1 2 3 and 4. like does that mean all in the same place or something?

nah, with 5 stages, many going at once, it's just a way I was categorizing them in terms of who I would prioritize in when time conflicts arise, and as I probably can't catch the majority of acts on a given day. It's also a handy way to generate flames, by people that won't post their likes/dislikes or way to accurately describe bands (or if they do they better comb the threads to have the 'correct' tastes or be branded musically ignorent for not appreciating Man Man for their bad Tom Waits impression enough or god forbid not using appropriate obscure nomenclature to refer to a subgenre of music).

[humanoid]

do people really read threads like this in hope that whoever created it will agree completely with your tastes>??? if so, you're retarded.....

I don't agree with a lot of your opinions, but then I wouldn't expect to...good work and thanks for the good links

[Boourns]

You put Islands in the 4th group and Akron/Family in the suck group? And didn't put Uffie and Hot Chip in the suck group? I call shenanigans.

But I do have to give you credit for doing the homework and then typing all that out.

I agree with Uffie & Hot Chip belonging in the suck group

But Uffie says 'take your ass on the floor, down to the floor', it's funny. Besides should be nice to girls with glocks right ? I don't think gonna make changes to fix the shenanigans on Sat. Feeling like I was to harsh on Data Rock, Reverand and the Makers & Santogold on Friday though, they'd be fun too. Really only should have put very few bands in the bottom.

I found all the links and reviews helpful, I am torn on Kraftwerk too, I love electronic music, and they are pioneers of that, guess it will all depend who they are up against, but I'd b down for seeing them.
