Coachella Day 3 - Cory Kennedy

coachella day 3

got there in the afternoon, and sat down and watched stars which was interesting becuase i also had never seen them live and had been a fan for quite a while... walked over to see autolux for a few minutes and then went over to does it offend you yeah. those boys can rock an audience. i ran into old friend peter katsis as he was helping with new talent kidsister. saw some kidsister and jolted over to metric. metric was so disappointing. the one thing i hate most when going to see shows is when the artists play predominately new songs. its not that i dont want to hear the new stuff, its just that i always like to be familiar with music beforehand seeing it live or it dosnt so much for me.

after waiting for metric to play even an upbeat new song, i had to bail. to go hang with sia before she went on. sia opened with wearing black cloaks and neon tape representing smiley faces. the second song sia had giovanni ribisi's daughter sing with her which was so adorable. gio of course back stage supporting. sia is such an amazing person to know and her fantastical personality definitely breaks through in her music which is so strong, beautiful, and funky at the same time.

then what i had really been waiting for roger waters. walked over with eugene from autolux to experience such a phenomenal performance.....seriously gave me goosebumps just like in dark side of the moon with the back round of the wind blowing or the wall with the ticking tocking of the clock sounds made me feel like i was inside of the song. it sounds bizarre but it was such a amazing refreshing feeling.

from there to justice which had me stunned by how magnetic the music was. it was like uncontrollable. which was the last band for the last night was the perfect choice to wrap up coachella 08.

now im off to go on the 1st nylon magazine summer music tour with she wants revenge, the virgins, be your own pet, and the switches for 6 week across america. living in a tour bus and documenting the tour will be a handful but i have a feeling also a wonderful and memorable time. till next time lovers....
