Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (Archive)

Byrne was absolutely killer at The Factory
We really need to shut down Idea Cave's whole concept over at the Lincoln Center before someone else tries to pull the same stunt.

I’d go for Patti Smith, personally. Or honestly, even that blonde Ruskinja who keeps showing up at this insanely crowded skating championship (Oxana Domninia)—she could be the house pet for all I care, whatever.☕

soooooooooooooooo (thinking about the trip from NYC to Tokyo), but I guess Jea Wright doesn't stand a chance.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to see any of my favorite bands playing at a festival like Coachella.

Thanks.

😍😍😍 Honestly, that's the most beautiful and raw thing anyone has said about that festival—it was the one place on earth where I actually started questioning if I even liked music. Now I realize the problem wasn't me.😛
Thanks a million!

I’d honestly love to catch my favorite bands playing at a venue like Madison Square Garden, so yeah...

I have a feeling I’ll never actually get to see some of my favorite bands perform here in the States 🙂

I wouldn't mind working at the plant. Why not?

I'm just not a fan of those massive festivals.

I'd much rather see one great band I actually love than deal with ten different acts at some huge festival where I have to fight through crowds and shove my way from stage to stage.

...no massive festival is ever gonna top a killer show at Madison Square Garden, Staples Center, or somewhere like Disney Inc....doesn't matter who's on stage...it just can't happen.

it can



🙏

🙏
...what, like I'd rather watch them play in a semicircle? 😁

maybe



🙂

Honestly, I think the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is just way too strong 🙏

Honestly, I wouldn't even complain if I had to sit through another show by The Hold Steady.☕

😱

Look, give me a break. If I actually have to be the one to say it, you guys are acting way too much like indie snobs... you've totally lost the plot here.
I’m 100% on the same page as Adam Moore (hey, don't come for me🙂), but honestly, if any band I actually love showed up, I wouldn't care where they played... I'd just be stoked to be there.
Sure, it would be cooler if they were hitting venues like Madison Square Garden or the Fillmore, but I'd even take them playing at a local community center.☕
Just chill out.

I'm totally with Adam Moore on this (please don't hate me🙂), but if any band I actually love shows up, I wouldn't care where they played...
obviously, I'd prefer somewhere like SC or a cool local club, but honestly, I'd even take a random community center☕
just chill out.

😂 🙂

Nobody actually showed up to see Dirty Three at the old factory because the venue itself wasn't anything special, yet they pulled off one of the best gigs in Chicago last year. I suspect the same thing would happen with Lambchop.

I honestly can’t remember who skipped which show or what the deal was, but I totally missed Dirty Three—mostly because I haven't actually sat down and given them a real listen yet (my bad!)—but I did catch Lambchop live.
Pretty solid, right?😍

Fair enough. Go with Ocean Songs and Horse Stories 🙏 For the record, the band didn't name that one because they're obsessed with horses... 😉
