Coachella 10

Those of us anywhere but the desert this past weekend were probably wishing we were there among the 70,000 music fans, stoked to see the likes of the Gorillaz, MGMT, Muse, Jay Z, the XX, etc...

And now, the week following a weekend surely filled with amazing music moments, drunken dance moves, and the like...we browse the reviews. So far the outcome has been mixed. Aside from performance and atmosphere reviews, below is one interesting piece on how Coachella almost didn't have a place to house its festival.

When Coachella almost wasn't ....from the LA Times

More to come as reviews pour in.

Deerhunter with Spoon at the HOB Boston

Almost 2 weeks ago now- Katie, Lindsay, and I decided to get out and see The Big Pink at The Paradise....mostly because Spoon was sold out. Then, as luck would have it, an angel appeared and with silvery wings proclaimed, "they shall have spoon" and so we went.

The HOB is a great venue for a show like this and I was glad to be there. To make our night, cute boy selling t-shirts got all of the members of Deerhunter to sign albums for us.

It was a great show and a great night, which ended in a major dance party at the under-rated An Tua Nua.

Bradford, you were great, and we hope you have a great summer too.

XX @ the Paradise 4.2.10

The young indie rock band from South west London made their way to Boston again, to two sold out shows at the Paradise.

More “performing” this time around, compared to their last Boston show when they opened for Friendly Fires.

Both he and she seemed more comfortable with the audience and their stage.

Songs were kept close to the studio sound but were clearly a bit looser (in a good way) then their last show.

Seeing the XX live is like one long, deep breath. I cannot wait for their next tour.

Check out Katie's clips from the show here.

Congratulations to the XX for an amazing performance on their first headline tour in the US. Come back soon.
