The Murder City Devils To Sweat It Out In The Desert
1:00 AM on Wed Feb 25 2009 by Dan Gibson
The Coachella tradition of adding acts after the initial lineup announcement continues this year (no accompanying list of cancellations… yet), although I suppose most people were hoping for something a little more thrilling than the Murder City Devils, who will play Sunday. I’m excited to see the band again (even if a sweaty tent mid-day isn’t exactly my preferred venue), since they had a run of albums around the turn of the century that were fun, edgy bursts of organ-fueled garage rock. If the Pacific Northwest is more your style, the band is, according to their Twitter feed, also playing Sasquatch. A selection of clips below the cut.

The Coachella Lineup Is Out (For Real This Time)

Paul McCartney, The Killers, and The Cure are atop the seemingly eternally delayed lineup (OK it was only like a week tops, but still) for the California festival Coachella, which takes place April 17-19. Also on the bill: Morrissey, Leonard Cohen, My Bloody Valentine, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, X, TV On The Radio, and Ida Maria. And Amy Winehouse, for real! Full roster, broken down by day, after the jump.

Just In Case You Were Wondering: No Coachella Lineup So Far
10:30 AM on Wed Jan 28 2009 by Dan Gibson
I decided to suffer through KROQ’s playlist of Papa Roach and Three Days Grace just in case its morning show happened to have the delayed Coachella lineup this morning, but one of the inane hosts (Bean, maybe?) just mentioned that he and his corporate overlords haven’t received any new information since yesterday. However, in the midst of this seemingly endless wait, a particularly creative nerd on the Coachella message board took the “Paul T” username (for Goldenvoice head Paul Tollett) and posted a very likely fake lineup. While I doubt the Hold Steady are playing both Friday and Saturday, if you care to dream about what might be, it’s below the cut.
