NEW, YOUNG KRAFTWERK MEMBER???? NO FLORIAN???

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I wonder if they are planning something special for Saturday?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I just want to know if that "elaborate stage set up" stuff is true.

"See you at the Kraftwerk tent!" - Kim Deal

that is now a immortal quote. Do the Breeders have a different show the next day? Cause if not, you will know where to find her...

[elektrohead]

They played no new songs but were mixed very differently, with some new visuals.

At least some good news - otherwise it would seriously start to suck: No Florian, a possible Prince conflict and the fucking overcrowded tent again...


Do you remember the songs on the setlist?

ugh...I hate the idea of the Sahara being overcrowded....you can't see shit...

[menikmati]

I love being in the middle of a crowded sahara, dancing away....good times.

as long as there is room to dance...Kraftwerk in 04 was impossible...since by the time we got there...it seemed as if the entire Radiohead crowd did the same...we walked out because we couldn't get anywhere near the inside of the tent....

[bartelby]

you kidding? there was plenty of room near the back...

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

you kidding? there was plenty of room near the back...

I had to look for my little brother who wandered off...by the time we got there Radioactivity was in full swing and we couldn't get anywhere....I guess that was the middle of the set....

[bartelby]

admittedly i was extremely high, but i seem to remember having plenty of room just hanging around the back of the tent under the speakers

ah...memory is a little foggy I imagine....yeah it was crappy to say the least....

[bballarl]

There was definitely room in the back. That's where I was. But my friend and I were so fucking exhausted from being in the oppressive heat since 10:30 AM that we watched one song and left. It was one of my biggest Coachella regrets, but since they are coming back this year it is all good. Plus, the recording that boldcaptain did was really good and sort of made up for missing it.

[elektrohead]

Maybe it is their last gig ( worst case scenario ) I mean nobody knows why Florian is really missing...

[elektrohead]

The setlist in Minneapolis was:

i didnt read it, and i'm not going to.

or, i'm going to TRY not to read it.

[betao]

oh fuck it. i cant wait.

[MarkO]

......... the recording that boldcaptain did was really good and sort of made up for missing it.

The boot I'm listening to now is amazing. I wonder if it's his ?

[menikmati]

99% likely

[elektrohead]

Now I have some more detailed information about the setlist

[dnham]

how was the show in minneapolis? good?

[Vic Viper]

True or not, thats a shit silly reason not to perform for thousands of people who love you and your music.

I can't wait to be up front and effing center for Kraftwerk.

Amen.

But I think there's more to it than that.

Dude...that sux!!! I remember being front to mid tent area and having plenty of room to get my boogy on...I was in unbelieveable heaven and so excited it was taking everything in me to keep from peeing my pantz or shall I say shorts!!! Good luck this year...

[elektrohead]

But I think there's more to it than that.

Yes, that´s very likely

I mean they knew about the record of the Bush-Administration way before they have agreed to play Coachella and planned the gigs here - not to mention that they have already been here in 2004. This "Bush" rumour isn`t plausible at all!

I guess he has health problems or he is a bit bitchy ( wouldn´t be the first time since he hates touring ). So maybe he will be at Coachella but he simply didn`t want to play the warm-up-gigs. I hope so!



I don`t want to miss to "the master of the concise interview"



A.k.a "Don Schneider"

[menikmati]

I'm betting he is just sick and wasn't able to make this short tour of the US, but the rest of the group didn't wanna cancel the gigs. So I think no Florian at Coachella, but oh well, I'll still be having a good time with em.

lol at you guys taking wikipedia seriously for your information

it's more reliable than myspace, virginradiouk, mtv.com, vh1.com or pollstar

A message to anyone who decides to skip Kraftwerk because of no Florian:

Don't come crying a week from now when everyone who saw them tells you how fucking awesome it was.

Cos if last night in Milwaukee is anything to go by, it will be.

[msklvr]

Well, I know there has been much speculation between main stage and sahara for Kraftwerk. I would saw it's leaning more towards the sahara tent for them. I wrote the writer of the Denver Post an email about what they printed and it goes something like this...

Mr. Baca,

I was just wondering if Kraftwerk is really headlining “one of the dance tents at the Coachella Festival”? Is this good information?

Just a music lover checking on possible conflicts.

Matthew

hey there, matt. that is the word that we're hearing.
have fun.

Looks like an impending Prince/Kraftwerk conflict. Fuck.
