Coachella.2012.(Sunday).W2

Coachella.2012.(Day.3)

@Indio Polo Field (Indio, CA)

Sunday.April.15th

The last day of week 1 has arrived and I am starting to feel the pain.  it's warm and I am coming down with a cold.  $H!T!  It always happens every year.   

There was not much I wanted to see today.  Some of the bands and wanted to see are ALL outside in the main stage.  Why couldn't it be cloudy again.  Went to the Gobi tent to catch Housse de Racket and they killed it!!!  They are such a fun band to watch and what a great way to start the morning.

I sat faraway in the shade to listen and watch Metronomy.  I didn't want to be out in the sun, even though it was 70 degrees out, but that sun hits you hard.  

After my sit down for Metronomy, I went to the main stage to have a good spot for Santigold.  Band of Skulls where on and they where good.  I moved up closer to get a better spot, but I noticed the barricade down the middle of the field.  I was stuck on the left hand side with the VIP section.  DAM!

Santigold went on and she was good.  She did a couple of costume changes and I liked that the band members looked a little bit like DEVO members.  I was looking into the VIP section to spot any stars and I didn't.   I was gonna stick around for Fritz and the Tantrums, but my legs are killing me form Saturday.  I went and sat by the entrance near the ferris wheel.   

I watched Fritz and the Tantrums and they where getting down.  The Hives where up next and they where killing it.  I decided to get some food and head towards the main stage.  Howlin' Pelle Almqvist (Lead Singer) was a riot!  He asked ALL of us to sit down and we did.  Then he noticed that the VIP section didn't sit.  "What, only because you paid more, you think you can get away from seating down? I need you guys to sit and you are not that special", said Pelle.  The crowd went wild and the VIP section sat down.  

Justice was up next and I decided to stay.  The more I listen to the latest Justice album (Audio, Video, Disco), I like.  They did not go dub-step with their music and I bet some people wanted them to.  Justice started out fashionably LATE!  I was surprised that some people did not leave.  Once they hit that stage, 20 minutes late, they turned it out.  I happened to turn around and I saw Macy Gray getting down.  How cool is that?!?!  My first celebrity spotting at Coachella.  

I went to the Sahara Tent to catch Calvin Harris and the tent was packed!  I guess that single he produced for Rihanna helped.  When I got closer, I noticed this familiar voice, but I was not thinking anything.  I thought he was gonna be performing, but he was DJing.  I was gonna leave until he played the Rihanna song, "We Found Love".  I was saying to myself, "this girl singing is doing a great job and she sounds so close to Rihanna".  There was no JumboTron and I was to far to see anything.  When the song was over, Calvin said, "give it up to Rihanna!".  What?!?!  No wonder, this place was PACKED.  Of course, after that song was over and she left the stage, people started to move out. 

I walked around for a bit, taking in the last of my day here.  Even though I am coming down with a cold and my feet are hurting, I always look forward to Coachella.  Next year is gonna be my tenth year coming to the festival.  Round 10 is just around the corner and I can not wait.  Stone Roses? Maybe...

Metronomy.(L!V3) @Detroit.Bar

Metronomy.2011
@Detroit.Bar (Costa Mesa, CA)
Sunday.October.16.2011

So glad that they decided to come back to Southern California.   Another ticket I gave away when I was on vacation.  Metronomy are always fun to watch and Detroit Bar is a good space to see bands.  

Tonight's show was SOLD OUT and it doesn't look that busy.  I guess some people are by the bar and lounge area watching it on TV.  Who goes to a concert and watches it on the monitors?  That's crazy and funny at the same time.  
Metronomy hit the stage and what a great show.  There where some problems, but it was only the main speakers going in and out a couple of times.  The monitors where on and you could still hear them.  After a couple of songs in, Joseph Mount (Lead Singer) pointed out to use that the roof was leaking.  He took care of the problem by placing his drinking glass to catch the drops that where landing on his synth.


They played the hits and I was so excited when they played, "Connie" (my favorite song from the new album).  It took me awhile to get into the new album, "The English Riviera".  I wasn't crazy about there second single, "The Look".  I liked the remixes and hearing it today, changed my mind.  By the way,  if you like or don't like Lady Gaga, Metronomy did a remix of "Yoü and I" and it's FCVKn amazing.  It's a MUST download!!!!!
I was next to Oscar Cash (Synthesizer, Sax and other instruments).  He is always interesting to watch.  He always does his little dance and crazy hand movements.  Every member has there thing.  Anna Prior (Drums) was hitting those kits like she was killing a rat that just crossed her path and she was dressed very pretty too.  Gbenga  Adelekan (Bass) was doing it.  He was also fun to watch and BOY...was he getting down with that bass guitar.  They always look like they are having a great time and what CHEMISTRY! 

\m/  \m/  \m/  \m/ - AMAZING!

METRONOMY (LiVE!) @the.ROXY

When I heard that METRONOMY where cumin 2 L.A. U know I had 2 get my ticket that same day. I have been waitin 2 C them live. I heard alot of good things about them live.....and U know what....they did not disappoint. I loved the fact that they wore a uniform on stage. White pants w/a brown top.....PLUS! a huge round light (Push Lights) on there chest that turned off and on w/the beat of the music......LOVED iT! And It was not cheesy by the way. R they R next.......DEVO?Every member of the band was intertainin 2 watch. They had a femal drummer that was amazing and I heard that she was in Lightspeed Champion (need 2 look @my old photos). The bassist worked his bass guitar (black 2) and the other keyboardest, Oscar Cash had a funky dance that was out from Revenge of the Nerds movie. FUN. I loved the fact that Joseph Mount (Lead Singer) joked in-between song but I was not sure if he was jokin because he wood have a blank look on his face and went on 2 the next song. Thumbs up 4 METRONOMY and Thumbs down 4 FOOLs.GOLD. Was not in2 that band. What's all the hype on them? U wood think.....with a STONE.ROSEs song title they wood live up 2 the name but.....NO! not 4 me. NEXT!

ViDEOs:

"On Dancefloors"

"Back on the Motorway"
