Bands who play great live I wish to see!

[Drewsky]

Bands who play great live!

Doves - Under appreciated just finished their fourth album! My first and best

choice.

The Verve - Another British act who play great live.

Kottonmouth Kings - California band who always keep true to their fans.

Tea Leaf Green - California up and coming Jam band who bring guitar.

Fishbone - Only because Angelo Moore rocks and is my friend. Drew from

Eugene, says "please add some old school ska, punk, and funk."

Zappa Plays Zappa - Who doesn't like Dweezil? Bring back the 'muffin man'.

Les Claypool - The master of originality always brings the house down!

[sonofhal]

I saw Doves recently and they were good, but nothing great. The new stuff sounded fairly decent, tho.

Kottonmouth Kings



*recoils in disgust*

[Xenocide]

i wouldn't have a problem with Kottonmouth Kings, it'd be better than Slightly Stoopid was...

but i'd rather have Cypress Hill

[Pixiessp]

Earlimart. :)
The Cure
Arcade Fire(they are slowly growing on me).
Ladytron(they have gotten better since 2006).
Daft Punk
Depeche Mode
Deerhunter(have never seen them live but heard they are a "must see").
Beirut
and of course The Pixies.

[coughcoughing]

GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY!!!!!!!

they put on a fantastic live show

[MissingPerson]

I love Ladytron, but I have a hard time imagining their live show.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Ladytron is actually kind of a snooze live.

[coldstart]

I watched them live courtesy of the AT&T streaming thing in my hotel room for Coachella '06. Meh, not very impressed. Maybe it was better on the field?

tell me you didnt just say that....oh my god, i dont even know where to start.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Is that a midget lady?

[Boourns]

I hear the Ladytron live show has improved since then. It sounded bad from outside the tent. So much that I didn't bother to stick around for more than a few minutes, even though it took me forever to get there after Sigur Ros.

But as for epic live acts that need to be at Coachella...
ASOBI FUCKING SEKSU

Thank you.

[ATamreLion]

I don't know about anyone else, but I thought Yelle was fantastic last year. Not too many people at that stage, but she really hyped everyone up and it was definitely one of the more memorable sets from '08. Would love to see her again.

I would love to see The Cardinals play. They always do such a great job every time I see them. Sooo solid since Adams got sober.

They can drop Oasis off back in London, though...

I love this pic! It used to be my avatar on myspace like four years ago...

[nationocean]

Unless they are throwing out hundred dollar bills at the crowd during Ladytron, they haven't improved at all.

[gaypalmsprings]

The Village People

Elvis, if he was still alive.

but i'd rather have Cypress Hill

Eh, Slightly Stoopid and Cypress Hill are good live.

Kottonmouth Kings? I figured they died.

[Pixiessp]

Unless they are throwing out hundred dollar bills at the crowd during Ladytron, they haven't improved at all.

I was hoping with all that damn touring they did after Coachella they would have gotten better. I was so embedded in that tent and so close to Mira that they could have been playing "old mcdonald" and I wouldn't have cared.

They were a tad better at John Anson Ford. Didn't get to see them this year.
Went to see Beirut instead.

I still think they will be at Coachella this year.

[futureperfect]

Ladytron was great when I saw them last year. The light show and the intensity of the band was actually better than the years before. I felt like I was at one of those early 90's raves so I guess it just depends on where and when you see them. I also saw Helen and Ruben do a DJ set and that was pretty cool.

[Coachella Bound]

WORD!

I really want to see Pearl Jam. My buddies got a DVD of them touring overseas and it just seems nuts!

Also MUSE, even though im sure some craps coming for that one.

Helen and Ruben? or Mira and Ruben?

[betao]

Ladytron were ok when they opened up for The Chems last year. Just ok. Nothing special.

[benhur]

beta band is supposed to be amazing live....to bad i think them reforming will never happen.

Tea Leaf Green is great but then i like jam bands , and Z plays Z were supposed to play wakarusa last year but there was a tornado, so they ended the fest early ... the nerve of them, if we were willing to stay, then they should have stayed .... they did say they will play this year to make it up, but since they have moved waka, not sure if they will keep their word .... on any other bands, not sure who i would like to see that i havent ...****

[benhur]

ELECTRIC SIX

ELEPHANT SIX, or better yet...just Neutral Milk Hotel.

[Cookieman908]

Saw Nick Cave last fall and couldn't believe how great he was, seems to be getting better with age.

How the heck has he not played coach yet?

Other great live shows I saw last year that have never played Coachella are Caribou, Deerhunter and Autechre

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I would love to see Autechre...but they did play in 1999...another Warp act I have always wanted to see but never had the chance....

[Smokenut]

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moomoo]

ASOBI FUCKING SEKSU


Agreed because I have yellow fever. Also, half of Karen O can perform for the YYYs.












Edit- Upon further speculation I've decided that full Karen O can, in fact, perform.

[Backwater]

Tea Leaf Green is great but then i like jam bands

I like jam bands and I can't fucking stand Tea Leaf Green. They're really awful. Sorry Ron.

I'd like to see Zappa Plays Zappa but I haven't had the chance yet. They played a few nights at the Roxy a little while ago. Tickets were $150.00! I'd consider paying that much to see Frank if he were still alive but paying that much to see his son would be crazy. They played Bonnaroo 08 and Rothbury.

[MissingPerson]

I think I'd quite like to see Slipknot, oddly enough.

[obzen]

I think I'd quite like to see Slipknot, oddly enough.

they would be a different add-but i think id pass on them in the unlikely case they make an appearence.

[enriquevs]

Supergrass

[Xenocide]

Slipknot will never play Coach... although they used to be good live years ago

[Drewsky]

I saw beta band open for Radiohead at the University of British Columbia in 2001 and they put on a great show. The same year they played at some wherehouse in Portland but it was only the leed singer and a DJ not so good.

[seanzie]

I want to go back in Coachella history and see New Order in '05 and Daft Punk in '06. I don't even remember where I was or what I was watching during those sets but I want to kill myself for missing them.

[Boourns]

Final Fantasy...awesome live and has never played Coachella

[MissingPerson]

Holy shit, yes.

Final Fantasy should always be the answer to this question.

You're really fucking stupid sometimes, Coachella.

tFXJKp-NgR8

He was onstage with Arcade Fire when they played before though, right?

dude, music is relative, and we all like who we like ...i just thought they were good the one time i saw them ....*****

[Tosh0]

id like to see some more metal/hardcore bands this year, some talented ones
but i know most of you disapprove

[MissingPerson]

So, thanks to this thread, I went looking for Weebl & Bob's take on Ladytron's Destroy. Turns out Ladytron's manager pissed all over Weebl & Bob and got the video taken down.

So fuck you, Ladytron. Or, more forgivingly, fuck your stupid fucking management that cannot see the value in letting an immensely popular web cartoon - which obviously adored you - give you and your reasonably obscure song the fucking benefit of their attention.

Those seventy nine seconds of 2D animation gave you far more free exposure than you evidently deserved. It's not even quite a parody, it's just a regular Weebl & Bob cartoon about pies with a fond and detailed nod to Ladytron.

SaSU6Jrs22E

I don't fucking understand Universal. Sometimes I just think they're cunts for the fucking sake of it, and they've had an especially spectacular cunt attack lately.

I don't need to torrent any of Ladytron's stuff, but I think I might start sharing it out of sheer misguided fucking spite.

[algunz]

I don't know about anyone else, but I thought Yelle was fantastic last year. Not too many people at that stage, but she really hyped everyone up and it was definitely one of the more memorable sets from '08. Would love to see her again.


She was a highlight for me last year too.

I'd love to see Jamiroquai again. They are without a doubt one of the best live bands I have ever seen.

[Coachella Bound]

Jamiroquai.... yeah!

Def approved!

[obzen]

(see:meshuggah)

[Cookieman908]

I say Fucked Up would be great and will definitely be on the bill.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, Coachella doesn't like to put on heavy bands, blah, blah

Since Fucked Up are unquestionably the most hipster-friendly hardcore band in history AND they were media darlings last year AND they're currently touring...

Fucked Up for Coachella '09!!

[krisk]

FRANCIS HAROLD AND THE HOLOGRAMS!

[KickerConspiracy]

Saw Pulp back in the '90's and they weren't amazing live. Saw Jarvis a year ago or so and it was one of the most boring concerts I've ever been to.

I second the request for Nick Cave - his shows are amazing. I'd also add Amanda Palmer (killed during her set this year) and Art Brut (their low-fi video display when they played Mezzanine here in SF was awesome).

[seandlr]

Back in the day, against me! Used to be the best performers period.

[seandlr]

You know who seems great live? The flaming lips. They really look like a lot of fun. Any experienced people out there?

[MissingPerson]

Hoping to see them later this summer, and I've heard good things, so yeah, I hope they're awesome.

I've been told a few times that you only need to see them once though, that their shows follow a fairly set format.

Although on the other hand, hamster Ball. Woo.

You know what would be great?! You reccomending me a nice long list of bands. You seem to have a nice spectrum. Could you please? :)

[Mardigan]

i wouldn't have a problem with Kottonmouth Kings, it'd be better than Slightly Stoopid was...

but i'd rather have Cypress Hill
I'd rather see Slightly Stoopid personally

[CellarOwl]

Final Fantasy...awesome live and has never played Coachella

He's playing Toronto April 8th and Vancouver May 09th, so far those are the only spring tour details that are announced. Given how many other bands are playing Toronto around that same time already either rumoured or confirmed for Coachella, I'd say it's entirely possible to hit the fest somewhere in the middle. He does have a new album out.

[Drewski27]

Kottonmouth Kings - California band who always keep true to their fans.

great opinion asshole.

[juloxx]

ELECTRIC SIX

Please god yes. Bring them to Chella please
