Justice - where did it all go wrong?

[irthesteve]

It was fun but god damn did they squeeze every last ounce out of D.A.N.C.E., shit went on for like 10 minutes.

The whole set was basically 3 extended songs. Civilization, D.A.N.C.E. and Audio, Video, Disco. That's basically the set list

[trancey]

Can't believe the following this shitty group has and its a bummer they're at outside lands. Was hoping for someone who isn't garbage and boring.

[shiezza]

I shouldn't have even gone after seeing their live stream from ultra. That show was mediocre. The overly long renditions of DANCE and A/V/D were weak. You add being 25 minutes late and not playing soulwax's phantom remix or anything else good from the old album and this show was just plain embarassing. I'm still kicking myself for leaving nero early

weekend 2

[loopy]

I thought it was great, but I'm a fan and have never seen them before. There's no doubt it could've been a lot better. If you're a casual fan or have never heard of them then this may have been disappointing. I was really bummed it was so short.

[jackstraw94086]

Whats with the lit up cross? Christian electronic musak? It's way creepy.

It's just hipster nonsense. Your reaction is exactly what they're after. They're like "edgy" bro.

This was a very sensible quote. I dunno how I even ended up watching the two songs I saw. Couldn't decide if I liked them, or their fans, less. (I think their fans win)

Nah it's more cultural if anything (after all they are French)

Go on...

Hopefully that 25 minute delay prevented them from playing most of the songs from their sophomore release.

[MostlyMellow]

wow these guys suck. Mainstage for this lame light show and boring music.

[bobchella]

Justice is experiencing the epitome of the Sophomore Slump. They'll never be as popular as they were before AVD.

[SuperFocus]

Left Nero early. Sadness followed

crowd at mainstage was definitely bigger than their 2008 sahara appearance. i don't know how a band attracts larger crowds and becomes less popular.

for what it's worth i showed up late (or so i thought, apparently) coming straight from gotye and enjoyed everything i heard. the way the new tracks were worked into the set had definitely improved from their ultra appearance. the super-long version of AVD was pretty silly given the shortened set time, but honestly what are you expecting when all they're really doing is mimicking actual musicianship up there. their stage show sucked (as it has barely changed) but i guess i knew what to expect.

[RodFed1993]

I had a blast. Go fuck yourselves.

The set was obviously prerecorded. There's no way they would have played that long shit song if they'd had known they were going to be late. And how on earth do you go on 30 minutes late when you have to set up such a shitty and boring stage? Awful, just straight awful. The most over rated and pathetic group in the history of EDM.

uh, yeah. did you just stop reading after that bolded part or what? while i had fun i understand they're not DOING anything up there other than pantomime.

No, I just took your post a step further.

[heyeric]

The two can't mix for shit anyway, what is all the complaining about?

[Nealocus]

Did Justice do something wrong to you bro? U mad @Justice? If you don't like them don't waste your time in the thread with dickhead comments. KTHANKSBYE.

shut up. justice is average at best. deal with it.

Hey, sorry to burst your bubble but so are your boyfriends ATDI.

And you know this how? Either way what difference does that make? We're not the ones playing the mainstage of one of the biggest festivals in the NATION lol nice post though man, really relevant.

[KidRobot]

I was definitely pissed that they started so late but I had an amazing time. Definitely was left wanting more though.

[CrimesceneCookie]

While I agree, there is nothing more pathetic than defending a Jackstraw post.

[Sexecutioner]

you guys are trippin, it sucks that is was short but it was great, new album blended awesome with their classics and the crowd response was superb

I am not ashamed to say I was going bonkers at Justice

I concur on both accounts. That shit was fun. Too short though for sure.

[SmittyJoe]

Really pissed about the lateness, and it only aggravated me more when I had to listen to Audio Video Disco for half of the set. Nobody wants to hear that shit. I still had fun when they showed up, especially for Genesis. Thought their mixing was done extremely well, though it seemed more appropriate for a two hour set.

But then Waters of Nazareth never came, so I take back everything good I said about them

[rambleonfreddy]

Hey, sorry to burst your bubble but so are your boyfriends ATDI.

Hahah. Yah, ATDI was pretty bad.

[send me ctrpllrs]

So who else saw Company Flow sounding fantastic in the Gobi? Loudest show I saw. I planned to see a bit of Justice, but left for the Gobi after 20 minutes. Justice started as I made my out and sounded like shit.

One of the biggest disappointments of the weekend?

25 mins late, several technical glitches, sound cutting out - a perfect example of how to ruin a great opportunity on the main stage.

I could go on, but you could see the disappointment in their faces at the end (either that or they didn't give a fuck)

Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised - thank god for ATDI and Dre/Snoop to deliver two stunning sets....

They posted an apology on FB:

"Hey Coachella,
Sorry we couldn't play a full set due to big technical issues we couldn't do anything about it, apart from doing our best; it was fun though! See you next week for a full powered show.
Xavier & Gas"

Was I disappointed that their set was so short? Yes. But, for what it's worth, I along with many others were having a fucking blast dancing. I'm guessing that maybe they were late because of those technicalities and like they said, they did the best they could with what they had. I wish I could get a pass for this coming weekend because I'm sure they'll more than make up for last night's fail.
