Last night I was talking to someone who works with the management of the Dirty heads. They told me that last week they had a meeting dealing with if they were going to play coachella or not. When I asked if they were going to or not this person said they couldn't tell me either way it looked like it was a yes according to their facial expression/body language/tone in voice. Now I understand this is not a band this board really cares about and nor do I, but thought it's some info I should pass along.
Yuck.

This is definitely one of those token "we'll book them before they're even less cool" bands. Smart booking decision, because it'll help bring in some tickets.
But yeah sixthed

They are exactly the type of the band the people that I know that are always "so jealous that you're going to coachella!!!!" but won't actually commit to going themselves would get excited about.

Ha this is great, I knew there would be backlash, never though this much backlash. Just keep in mind though I never got a solid confirm, just a perceived yes due to the conversation. Still could be wrong and that would be ok.
If Dirty Heads aren't there, Civil Twilight will be, so we can apply all 13 of these yucks to whichever band plays.

They don't have to be pathetically turrible though.
just in case anyone was wondering.. although Man Man's new album will be coming out in April, they have not (yet, anyway) been asked to play Coachella. But Honus said he would play every year if they could. So it seems like it's just a matter of GV approaching them. we'll see.
could've sworn they were a given. what do i know?
After experiencing them at FYF this year, I want to see Man Man live as much as possible.
