Daft Punk 2013

[amyzzz]

Underworld > Daft Punk

No.

[nbvcide]

The Sports Arena show sold out in about an hour, without a new album to support, based on hype from one performance that probably 8000 people saw a year before.

Considering the Sahara holds nearly twice that number, the spillage outside the tent, and the increased size of the tent that year, i'd say that number is off quite a bit.

you don't see that anymore...although the lighting rigs have gotten better lolz

[StarsAreBurning]

probably because there is nothing of substance here, except maybe some bullshit about some guy saying something to some other guy about "production elements for live performance integration"

look man, i'm not trying to impress anyone here on the board, and i'm not trolling. I never said that what i was saying can be 100% verified, but why the fuck would my friend make up that elaborate story with specific details after not seeing him for over a year?

Nothing of substance? how about actually mentioning a studio & producer for the new album? do you think i pulled Conway RS and Max Martin out of my ass? You can check out Conway RS here on their FB page (https://www.facebook.com/conwayrecor...udios/page_map), which they just RECENTLY updated (10/16/12) with "Daft Punk" as an artist who has recorded there. Have they recorded any albums there before? No.

Aparently they have been in and out of that studio for the past year or two according to my friend. This recording studio is SPECIFICALLY chosen to hinder media leakage:
"Conway's studio perimeter includes a tropical garden area, located in a 54,000-square-foot (5,000 m2) gated complex. This feature makes it harder for paparazzi to photograph and enter the studio and parking area, improving the privacy of higher end artists and music professionals"

also for what its worth, session bass player Nathan East posted this 360 view of conway recording studios, from last year laying down some tracks, w/ daft punk: http://twitter.com/NathanEast/status/47779999712935936

now why would Nathan East be lying about Daft Punk recording at Conway Recording Studios?

hope thats enough "Substance" for ya brah.

[heart cooks brain]

oh geez

[nbvcide]

i totally bought it until that..he went from having believable info to having too much info to be believed

[Thisismyname]

Ultra as well,

Negative.

You're welcome for the random late nitpick. Everyone feel free to continue on with your lives now.

[StarsAreBurning]

take it anyway you want man, i'm just sharing my story & offering what little bits of proof are available.

[RotationSlimWang]

Withdrawn, I got Bang confused with Ultra. Correction noted.

[GuyInTucson]

They have already done country, metal and a jam band festival sized events on the polo grounds.

Though I agree that EDM would be trickier to pull off.

Not familiar with Nocturnal Wonderland 2000 are you?

[Bumblebee]

Not familiar with Nocturnal Wonderland 2000 are you?

Honestly, no. Had to look it up.

My point was that REMOVING dance music from Coachella so it had it own weekend on the polo grounds would be messing with the formula.

[nbvcide]

Not familiar with Nocturnal Wonderland 2000 are you?

really? to counter his argument that an EDM fest at the polo would draw away from Coachella you show up as proof the 2000 Nocturnal Wonderland, the year there was no Coachella because of a lack of demand? lolz

[RotationSlimWang]

... what the fuck does that remotely have to do with what he said?

[RotationSlimWang]

The other guy was saying that he thought staging an EDM fest on the polo fields would be hard to pull off. Guy cited an example of a time when there was in fact an EDM fest on the polo fields. You find this to be an illogical argument because... why?

[nbvcide]

Stagecoach and Big 4 work because neither pull too many likely acts from Coachella. EDM though...I feel that's a big part of Coachella.

i quoted bumblebee, who was responding to xuclarockerx..keep up.

Yeah could be. It wasn't a clusterfuck in there though. I was just outside the tent on the right when they went on, and was able to easily make my way in as the show was going on.
All of the prime time djs in 2012 had larger crowds, but remember 2006 wasn't a sellout year.
The Desert Sun review didn't even mention Daft Punk that year, only gushed about Madonna's 25 minute performance.

Biz 3 Publicity out of Chicago was recently "liked" and mysteriously "unliked" by Daft Punk's official FB page. (http://a403.idata.over-blog.com/3/29...e-copie-11.JPG)

Thought id try and get this DP thread back on course

[Mugwog]

Perhaps they realized they didn't like that song that talks about the world.

haha nice

[Bumblebee]

the year there was no Coachella because of a lack of demand? lolz

Was it demand issues or budgeting issues that buried the first Coachella?

[Coachella Bound]

Budgeting... they took the year off and moved it to spring.

[Mugwog]

FallChella could be really chilly

Did Perry Ferrell trade some/all his the band's guarantee for a future piece of the Coachella brand, while GV had more budgeting freedom in 2001? Perry made a mint selling the majority of the Lolla brand in the late 90's.

[nbvcide]

i don't see much of a difference. cause and effect?

[RotationSlimWang]

FallChella could be really chilly

Actually they moved it because October was way too hot.

[nbvcide]

the people i talked to that went to Phish on halloween said it was pretty nice, not too bad at night.

it didn't sound as bad as weekend #1 anyway..

According to the Biz 3 wikipedia page (which has not been edited in over 18 months) Daft Punk is a client of theirs...

[nbvcide]

why don't we try contacting Biz 3 and just asking?

[Mugwog]

"Publishing"
"Yes, I'd like to know why you guys "Liked" Daft Punk's Official Facebook page and then "Unliked" it?"
"Excuse me, sir?"
"Why did you "Like" Daft Punk's page and then unlike it?"
"Sir, I don't have access to that information. Anything else I can help you with?"
"So they are playing Coachella then?! YES!"
"I'm going to have to hang up now sir, have a good day." *Click*
"So are they on the Sahara on Main?!"

Well there's your confirmation.

[nbvcide]

i haven't laughed that hard in a while
