Digitalism.(L!VE)...





Digitalism.2013
The Troubadour (L.A., CA)
Friday.May.17th


What?!?! Digitalism at the.Troubadour?!?!  That is crazy and...PERFECT!  The stage set was simple.  There where only two stands (reminded me of Kraftwerk) and a huge white heart, just like the recent album cover as the back drop.  I love how Digitalism always changes things up.  It's never the same.

It's nine o'clock and the place still looks empty for a SOLD OUT show.  Maybe some people think that they are gonna go on late.

There was no opening band, but a live DJ spinning.  

It's ten o'clock and the place was...PACKED!  Digitalism hit the stage at 10:30 pm.   What a show so far.  It was a non-stop music performance.  They played two songs I wanted to hear (Circles and closed with, Pogo), but no "Digitaliam in Cairo" or "Two Hearts".  Sad face.

Beside the lady with her light up high heels, Digitalism had a crazy light show that could of caused someone to have an epileptic seizure. But other then that, it was... 

\m/ - AWESUM!!!

IAMX.(L!VE) at...

IAMX.2013
Fonda.Theater.(Los Angeles, CA)
Wednesday.May. 15th

What the...HELL!!!  The opener had a great voice for someone who is hungover on the final show.  Some people where into him and other where just making fun.  It was something that I did not expect for IAMX  to have this one man show to open for him.  All he had was a guitar, a backing track with beats and a mic.  He had a good voice, but what the hell!?!?! 

Once again..IAMX was FCVKn...AWESUM!!!  Everyone in the band glitter bomb us.  Groovy.  IAMX played some new songs that sounded really good (can't wait).  The last time I saw him was maybe 5 years ago and I think this was a better show.  Chris Corner (Lead Singer) is a rock star.  He had his Rock-n-Roll boots on and glitter all over his face.  He reminded me of Dave Gahan (Lead Singer of DM) because of his energy on stage and body frame.  

Everyone in the band had there own unique look that my eyes where bouncing all over the place.  Each and every one of them had a different paint on there face. I wish they tour much and I was glad I was here to witness this fantastic show.

\m/ - AWESUM

Little.Boots.(L!VE)...

Little.Boots.2013
@the.Echoplex.(Los Angeles, CA)
Thursday.May.2nd

The first band, Feathers where okay.  I liked the beat and sound of the band, but I was not digging the singer.  I couldn't  make out what she was singing and didn't have much of a stage presence.  

The next band, Avan Lava was Wham! meets C+C Music Factory.  They got the crowd going and I have never heard of them.  I was trying to make out if the lead singer was gay or not.  So hard these days and they where putting there...ALL. It was a show with confetti cannons going off into the crowd and a flash of titi here in there.  Yup, one of the dancers was flashing us.  She tried to fix it but gave up, just like the tape that was covering her nipples.

Little.Boots was up next and she toned down her look.  She grew out her hair and she reminded me of Goldfrapp.  I was missing that funky look.  The sad part of this show, there where a couple of technical problems.  Her mic was not working and when it did, the piece that connected to the mic (the wire) would fall off.  It happened twice and she caught the last one just in time. Victoria Christina Hesketh (Little.Boots real name) kept her cool while the tech guy ran around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to fix her mic.  

Once the mic was fixed, she would walk around, but...the cord was too short.  Little.Boots kept her cool and she didn't stop the show, she just kept on going, but she did apologize and didn't blame anyone.  I like that.  

The show was great and she played a bunch of new songs that sounded very promising, can't wait. Besides the Tenori-on not working as well and other techie problems, Little.Boots pulled out a GOOD show. 

\m/ - ROCK ON!

Hot.Dog.Vender.Tote.Bag

How do you remember Los Angeles when you visit?  The Hollywood sign?  Spotting a star on the TMZ tour bus?  The Palm Trees?

Or...

What is Los Angeles to most Angelenos?  For me, is...the.Hot.Dog.Venders.

You see them everywhere.  After concerts shows, outside of street fairs/festivals and most of all...outside waiting for you after a night of clubbing.  Just recently,  Wienerschnitzel made Los Angeles bacon wrap hot dog one of the Big City Favorites.  What a perfect way to sport one of my Hot.Dog.Vender.Tote.  They come in THREE COLORS:

Purple Tote Bag with Pink Print:

Coachella.W1.(Sunday).2013

La.Roux.2013 photo laroux2013_zpsa5381129.jpg
Coachella.2013

Indio, Palm Springs
Weekend.1
Sunday.April.14th

I headed to the Gobi.Tent to catch Deep.Vally and once I was approaching the tent, I headed to Yuma. 

Ahhhhh, it felt so refreshing to be in there.  I noticed a couple of us in here relaxing, dancing and sleeping? Yup, sleeping.  I would be to.  They have some comfortable couches in here.

JDH.&.Dave.P where the next DJ's up at the Yuma and they where...okay.  Ladies.Night where pretty AWESUM.  The crowd started to roll in and I wonder if they arrived to catch Jamie.xx up next?
Grimes.2013 photo grimes2013_zps2826d3fc.jpg
I was sitting in the back and I notice Jaime.xx passing by with a security guard.  No one notice him and the his band mates (The.xx).  What I loved the most is watching Romy's girlfriend kissing her and holding her hand.  YES!!!  I was very surprised that no one was watching what I was seeing.  Romy showing PDA and not even caring to get caught.  I was exited to see them that I told the girl next to me that the band members of The.xx are here and she got up quickly and grabbed her camera.  She took a picture with Oliver.  Then she went to her friend that was dancing at the dance floor and showed him the photo.  She kept pointing at my direction.  But how can you miss them, they where ALL wearing black!
Tanlines.2013 photo tanlines2013_zpsab49cdec.jpg
I headed to Gobi.Tent to catch Grimes and guess who I see? Oliver and Romy.  Once again, no one notices them and Romy's girl kissing her and holding her hand during the whole show.  I couldn't keep my eyes off them.

Tanlines was up next after Grimes and they where good.  I forgot to say, after Claire Boucher (Grimes) left the stage, a crazy fan jumped over the barricade and tried to jump on stage.  He was tackled by security and taken away.  Funny, but said.

Headed to Mojave.Tent to catch La.Roux.  James.Blake was performing and what a über crowd it was.  All the cool kids where here and I was falling asleep.  I really don't get this guy.  I took a listen to his stuff and I just couldn't get into it.  Watching him live would give me a different view...yea.

La.Roux was up next and Elly Jackson (Lead Singer) came out looking like Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Pink Panther).   The new songs sounded very promising and they added guitars to there sound, nice.  
the.Faint.2013 photo thefaint2013_zps102a56e9.jpg
The night ended with the.Faint for me.  What a great way to end  the last day of weekend one of this festival.  I don't know if my ears are shoot, but was the sound a bit off in the beginning?  I think Todd Fink (Lead Singer) was a bit tipsy.  He just looked a bit all over the place then usual.  No matter what...he put on a show.

After watching the.Faint's AMAZING SHOW, I passed by the Gobi.Tent and O.M.D. was about to perform "If You Leave"...ahhhhhhh.  I wanted to catch Disclosure, but they went on at 11:10p and I was pretty much done and this sand/wind storm is killer.

Another AWESUM Coachella. Until next year.

\m/ -  AWESUM!!!

Coachella.W1.(Saturday).2013

Postal.Service.2013 photo postalservice5_zps02caf114.jpg
Coachella.2013

Indio, Palm Springs
Weekend.1
Saturday.April.13th

From what happened yesterday, I decided to leave thirty minutes earlier and I think it paid off because it was a piece of cake to get in.  I probably waited ten minutes to get in.  I wonder what happened on Friday that it took so long???
Savages.2013 photo Savages2013_zpsa75855bc.jpg
I made it just in time to catch the.Wombats at the.Mojave.Tent.  AWESUM!!  

Savages where up next.  I really don't know what to expect on Savages and they impressed me.  Like the sound and there look.  The ladies behind me where being silly.  They couldn't make out the lead singer if she was a man or woman.  I didn't want to say anything, let the poor girl figure it out.   Then she started to say, "this is a lesbian band".  What a MORON.
Postal.Service.2013 photo postalservice1_zps740d422c.jpg
I headed to this new tent called Yuma to catch the.2.Bears (Hot Chip's Joe Goddard) and I fucken love this tent.  It was designed to be a nightclub/lounge place with AC, nice.   I sat and watched people dance.  I think I just found my new hangout.  I slowly started to notice how many bears are slowly appearing on the dance floor.  Where did they come from?  I didn't see them on the grounds.  Funny.  I walked towards the exit and I saw there was a huge line to get in.  A guy comes in wearing a mailbox made from cardboard.  Someone  is exited about the.Postal.Service tonight.
Postal.Service.2013 photo postalservice2_zpsc741da85.jpg
I went to the Gobi.Tent to catch the.Selecter and they where...AWESOME!!!  I would like to catch them again.  Bat.of.Lashes was up next at the.Mojave.Tent and she was...okay for me.  I stuck it out and watched the whole set and slowly she grew on me.  

Hot.Chip was up next on the.Coachella.Stage (main stage) an they tore it up.  Hit after hit and people where shaking it tell the last song.

the.Postal.Service was up next and what a performance.  This is my first time seeing them.  They sounded great and they played a few new tracks that sounded very promising.  AWESUM!!

I heard Descendents while passing through to head over the.Gobi.Tent to catch Janelle.Mońae.  I swung by Mojave.Tent to catch the last note of Simian.Mobile.Disco.  I went back to the.Gobi and Pusha.T was wrapping it up.  
Janelle.Monae.2013 photo JanelleMonae1_zpsf88e7c90.jpg
Janelle.Mońae hit the stage fifteen minutes late, but what a show she put on.  I was gonna go see Franz, but I decided to on Janelle.  She was great and what a performance.  I left during the middle of her set to catch New.Order next door at the.Mojave.Tent.
New.Order.2013 photo neworder1_zps5862f1c9.jpg
I arrived just in time to watch them perform, "Crystal".  The tent was PACKED and it was a challenge to get in so, I just stayed out side.  Then, out of nowhere, Bernard.Summer (Lead Singer) falls.  Oops!  Just like always, New.Order is New.Order...I was bored after the third song.  Can he fall again, just kidding.

Stone.Roses.2013 photo stoneroses7_zps0ddb9b5c.jpg
Coachella.2013
Indio, Palm Springs
Weekend.1
Friday.April.12th

So far so good until the next checkpoint to get in.  Usually Friday is the easiest to get in, but in this case, it was not.  It was a HOT day and we waited almost an hour to get in.  There was a small ambush, but decided to just stay in line.  
Jake.Bugg.2013 photo JakeBugg1_zps1d8ece80.jpgJake.Bugg.2013 photo JakeBugg2_zps652e322a.jpgPlaylist.2013 photo JakeBuggsetlist_zps8fbd4861.jpg
Once inside, I headed to the t-shirt stand and grabbed myself a Stone Roses and Blur shirt.  Another LONG A$$ WAIT!  Sweet Lord.
Johnny.Marr.2013 photo JohnnyMarr1_zpse6870ecb.jpg
Headed to Mojave.Tent to catch Jake.Bugg.  I loved how cocky he came out, but what a great performance once again.  
Alt-J.2013 photo alt-j1_zpsbf6a4b25.jpgAlt-J.2013 photo alt-j2_zps10c4a900.jpgAlt-J.2013 photo alt-j3_zps8c3386c2.jpg
Johnny.Marr was up next and he was...okay.  He sang three Smiths.  When Noel and Liam sing Oasis songs, it works.  Not here.  Sorry Johnny, but he got the crowd going with, "A Light That Never Goes Out", "Stop Me If You Heard This One Before",  and "How Soon Is Now" (closed with).  
Palma.Violets.2013 photo PalmaViolets2013_zps533b02d8.jpg
Alt-J was up next and they didn't disappoint.  I read bad reviews about there live shows, but they where GREAT.  They sounded so much like the album and this was the tent to be at 5 o'clock.  The photographers pit was filled with special people (I am guessing they paid big money to be up closer even though they have there own V.I.P. section).

Palma.Violets was the next band after Alt-J and they where entertaining to watch.  They where doing there thing and had fun doing it.   I would see them again in a smaller venue.

I have been on my feet for almost five hours at the Mojave.Tent and it was time to sit, eat and wait for Yeah.Yeah.Yeahs at the.Coachella.Stage.

Karen.Ø ROCKs!  First, lets start with the outfit.  A clash of Elvis meets Liberace...AWESUM!  I bet Christian.Joy was behind this.  Yeah.Yeah.Yeahs proved that they are here to conquer tonight and they did.  They opened up with the NEW single, "Sacrilege" with a chorus.  \m/ - (Devil horns).  Can not wait to see them play on there own and get the NEW album soon.

Blur was literally a blur.  I was bored. This proves to me that I really can't get into Damon Albarn other bands.

Up next is the most existing band I have been waiting to see again.  I think it has been 20 years since I last saw them at the.Hollywood.Palladium.  When they announced the line-up and they where booked to perform, I knew it!!!  AWESUM.  the.Stone.Roses opened up with, "I Wanna Be Adored" (perfect song to start the night) and from there it was hit after hit.  The best part of the whole show was Ian.Brown (Lead Singer) coming out...cocky (is this a bad ass English thing that I am missing here) with his maracas.  Those fucken maracas, forgot all about them.  Hilarious.  He threw a couple of them into the crowd and one landed almost next to me.  the.Stone.Roses was my highlight of Coachella.  Period!
