coachella/ bright eyes
as bright eyes was the last band i saw at coachella, i shall start there for the full reviews (trust me this one will be short...)
bright eyes closed the festival as one of the very last bands to take the stage. i had been hanging around at the outdoor theatre waiting for michele to find me after NIN and watching the faint in amazement and progressively growing more cold- it's the desert you know. so there i was, no legwarmers to be found b/c i ditched them back at the hotel earlier in the day thinking it could not be that cold on sunday night, boy was i wrong. please note conor in his hooded coat. the faint were backing conor so the change over time between sets was minimal, yet i was still freezing. totally torn, i only watched about 3 bright eyes songs before bailing. lame i know, but i never get cold and i was totally teeth chatteringly cold. anyway... what i saw of bright eyes was good, but i couldn't help but think would i be more into this if i was in a club, probably. it was too late, too laid back and i was cold (in case i hadn't mentioned that part before). the faint were great/ energetic and i was enthralled with their set. i guess i wish i would have stuck around a bit more to see if bright eyes picked up or i felt more energetic, but, alas i did not. i know, not much of a review, but what can i say. what i did hear was all from digital ash, which i dig, but it was the more mellow stuff like gold mine gutted.
