Late add ?
Late add ?
They played last year, and while I'd love to see them with proper bass that their set requires (the sound was royally fucked last year), I doubt they'll return.
Magnetic Man was terrible last year, I left about 10 minutes in
I missed cut copy to see them last year and they were TERRIBLE and they played so late i could have gone to cut copy. biggest upset of the weekend.
So disappointing last year. They were awful.
I liked it.

Yeah the bass was sooooo loud for them... :/ they were terrrrible. Id rather just have Benga.
And it was their own fault too... not the sound people.
I caught the tail end of thier performance and it was right when the bass kicked on. I was watching The Black Keys and missed most of their set, but I ran over to catch Sasha and saw the final few minutes.

they were screaming over their whole set. I felt like i was watching Destructo.
They made us sit down, glad i got to see all of cut copy and went late to magnetic man.
Seriously, let the song play...
i had high expectations for this set. 15 minutes in, i walked out.. btw their mc was really annoying.
'07, '08, '09, '10, '11, '12 w1, '13 w2..
Lets remember this song doesn't have any words...
this is really disappointing to hear, I had to miss their set last year and was really bummed out about it but apperently I didnt miss much?
Hm interesting, you'd think that in a bass-driven live set, that'd be the first thing they try to fix rather than let it go unfixed the entire set, who knows, maybe it just wasn't fixable at the time? I talked to Benga on a plane ride over to Manchester over the summer and we talked about Coachella for a bit, I didn't want to push for any answers or annoy him but he never mentioned anything about shitty sound...
They were lame the whole time, sound or not. Worst part was when the MC had everyone get down to the ground for awhile, leading you to expect some legendary drop. Ended up being one of the most underwhelming part of any set that weekend. Thank god the Sahara was in good hands afterwards.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world.
Coachella: 08, 09, 10, 11, 12w1, 12w2, 13w1

caught the tail end of their set last year. terrible decision. anemic sound and a super annoying MC who just would not shutup. don't know why anyone would want the back at Coachella anytime soon
