Kimbra interview #5000 LOL (@ Coachella The Dear Hunter)

she talks about The Dear Hunter and Casey a bit at the beginning, and later about the US version of Vows along with a lot of other names being dropped.

I did see her after the show in Minneapolis a few weeks back, but unfortunately being able to chat about music, other than TDH, didn't happen. It was too late in the evening. Hopefully another time.

Warpaint - Undertow @ Coachella 2011

they were one of the only groups I'd have like to see this year at it. A far cry from the likes of Mew, Muse, Porcupine Tree and even Coheed and Cambria and Faith No More last year.

But knowing that, I figured since they were coming to Minnesota anyway, seeing them at a big festival wouldn't mean all that much. But they did come to Minnesota...oh wait..

Coachella 2010: Porcupine Tree (and no MN)

if I only won the lottery would I find the reason to throw that kind of cash and hours of perspiration among the body-odor-aroma that is those festivals..standing-outdoors-area-only.

But the prog presence is nice, but all of those bands should play in Minneapolis in 2010. Will they? PT probably not, the others all may.
