We did not attempt to take notes or write down the setlist for DeVotchKa. It was mid-afternoon, there was no breeze, and it was very hot. The crowd was packed in front of the Outdoor Stage, so it was [...]
Indie Mom and I had a great Saturday at the Coachella. We managed to stay fairly comfortable and see a total of seven bands, which I consider quite successful. Furthermore, although the temptation is to run around seeing parts of as many shows as possible, we mostly saw entire acts. We did [...]
We almost got tickets for Sunday, since there are so many bands that we wanted to see. But since this blog is ad-free and we don’t make a cent from it, we decided not to stay for the last day of the festival. Listed below are some of the bands I would have [...]
