Dead Can Dance!

[amyzzz]

Mojave closer

Agree with this!

[anonimouse]

i was very excited to see them on the lineup. one of those groups im only somewhat familiar with but always knew i should pay more attention to. now is the time!

[PulpAffliction]

Dead Can Dance have to be a Mojave closer. It's all that makes sense.

[menikmati]

It's either Mojave closer, or Outdoor at night...I prefer Mojave (plus sadly I don't think they'd draw a big crowd for the Outdoor Theatre night slot). Just sucks that the Sahara's womp womp could interfere.

[grichsgang]

Intrigued as to how they would sound live. "Children of the Sun" sounds like it was yanked from the Engelbert catalog. And that's a good thing.

[HeavensWeep]

Is there a better setting to experience this band than in the desert with trippy things going on at night?

[rasooli]

Really hope they don't conflict with Eric Prydz, Wu Tang, or Parov Stelar

[zenidogx]

Hopefully they get Throbbing Gristle-like slot/time.

[wakeupmandy]

I was thinking more like the Mazzy Stat slot last year..

Yes, please!

[HeavensWeep]

+1 to the Mazzy Star slot. Hopefully DCD doesn't turn it into a snoozefest as did the aforementioned band.

[Jeffnlipman]

Oh god, someone mentioned the Mazzy Star slot.....

Flashbacks incoming

[Ray del Mundo]

I have a bad feeling that DCD are going to conflict with one or more of my other very highly anticipated sets of the weekend, probably Prydz, James Blake, and/or Paul Kalkbrenner. Which would really suck. But I'd probably have to go with DCD, as I fully expect them to be my Godspeed set this year, just a jaw-dropping musical experience. Just pure awe.

[darkjustice]

holy god these guys are great.

[lehorne]

Duran Duran would have killed for 'A Passage in Time', as would have most '80s bands.

[betao]

I won't be there for this, but I really really hope for you guys that there isn't any soundbleed from other stages during this set.

There's no band on Sunday worth skipping DCD for.

[menikmati]

The real Sunday headliner/closer.

[Spoiled]

If recent set lists and the show I saw last August are any indication, you'll be happy.

[mfockler]

In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated is my favorite song of theirs.. a little biased though because its in one of my favorite surf films haha. enjoy!

three more days the anticipation is killing me!

[dank bud ftw]

so pumped for this set

As with Godspeed last year and Throbbing Gristle in 2009, it will be one of the jaw-dropping musical experience of the weekend. This is one of the sets I'm looking forward the most.

I'm hoping they play in the mojave or gobi against big acts in main stage/sahara.

[menikmati]

Hell yes! Fuck the Chili Peppers and Eric Pyrdz....DCD is closing out the Mojave Sunday night....the REAL headliner of that day. So excited!

[insbordnat]

DCD vs. Disclosure. Hmm...

[SFChrissy]

Sad thing is I bet nobody going to Coachella even knows who they are....oh well, less people at their set means I can get front row.

into the labrynth got me through a heavy phase in my life in '94...

I haven't been on here in ages...love and miss you guys~

[jazzz]

Exactly.

Love both bands mentioned here, but do not get DCD. What am I missing?

[menikmati]

Just listen to Aion and Into the Labyrinth.

[sonnyboy11]

Easily the best news for me about an otherwise tough schedule. Strategic thinking says that by the end of '13 Coachella, the proper wrap is listening to Lisa Gerrard's and Brendan Perry's voices fill the night air.

[stinkbutt]

Still not getting this. Is it just world music for people that don't like to support actual world artists? I'm honestly not trying to troll, but this just sounds like white people making African and/or Native American music.

[KickerConspiracy]

Great time slot for these guys. Loving them closing out the fest.

I can see why people would consider them cheesy world/ethno music, specially some of their later stuff. But you might enjoy their debut album. It doesn't have much of the ethnic elements they'd use later and you can get a feeling for those dark sounds they tried to get in their next albums.

A fan or not, it's very hard to deny The Host of Seraphim isn't a gorgeous song. Hearing that song at Coachella with all lights turned off in the tent and that Godspeed eerie vibe from last year would be the perfect end to the weekend.
