Out with the New, In with the Old Pt. I

Sorry that the picks are coming in so late today everybody. Unfortunately I had an extremely challenging (not) midterm on the Beatles today. I thought this evening would be a nice opportunity to preview some of the acts at Coachella who have been around since what seems like the Ice Age to some young folk like you and I. You will probably recognize some of the tracks today and think back of the golden days when you were still in diapers. Try not to drool on this page. P.S. I am breaking this up in to two seperate parts, believe it or not Coachella features many old school and new school acts. Let me take you back to the future.

The Specials


Whether you like it or not here are the specials. You can look at it from two perspectives obviously. They either have an immense amount of talent making them special, or they could be half-brained dimwits making them very...very special. But seriously people here are some legends. This revival English ska band brings a lot of energy and danceable melodies for their audience. Getting big in the late 70s these guys recently reunited after 30 years in 2009 for an anniversary tour! This is something that you may never have a chance to see again. Put on your porkpie hat and and skank to this groove.

The Specials - "A Message To You Rudy"


DEVO


Formed in '73 Devo set the trend for New Wave music. These guys are incredibly nerdy and it would be hilarious to see them jam up on stage one more time. So put on your pocket protectors, get into shape, shape it up and watch your behind because these guys can whip it real good.

DEVO - "Whip It"


Faith No More


Hailing and rocking out from San Francisco, Faith No More was founded in 1981. Experimenting with different members from the very beginning, even crazy Courtney Love got her chance as lead vocalist. They are definitely an incredibly influential rock band and have just reunited after being apart for 11 years! This should be exciting, put on your suits and rock out!

Faith No More - "Epic"



-Let's Go Shaun White!
