To be honest, I'm not so stoked on this year's line-up..There are a few bands here and there that I'd love to see, but I don't think I'm willing to shell out $160 and deal with the heat for them..:( I'm sure Beck will do another surprise appearance, but hopefully I'll be able to see him enough if he tours for Guero..:yes:

If Muse was on there, I'd go. I don't like the others bands enough.

Excellent live :yes:

MichelleRene - 2-1-2005 at 07:19 AM

:D do they have a CD out? I'll try and look them up...what do they sound like?

TurtleEnterprises - 2-1-2005 at 09:21 AM

I just wanna see Weezer. Don't hate.

EvilMotivator - 2-1-2005 at 02:52 PM

I got the Dresden Dolls cd a couple days ago. It's pretty good. If you go to dresdendolls.com, you can download a song or two.

happysmilely - 2-4-2005 at 08:39 PM

Bravery, faint, Bauhaus, new order, the Bravery...
I like a lot of the bands, so I won't list them all, but not enought to pay 80 bucks to see them, take off time from school/work and drive up there to sit in the sun with way too many people....

Noisemonster - 2-5-2005 at 10:03 AM

wow! a festival with bloc party, gang of four (!) and the faint (probably the best live band i've ever seen) and some other goodies.. not bad, not bad..

draconian - 2-5-2005 at 12:02 PM

FYI--Conor Oberst has said that he will be taking The Faint on tour as his backing band to support the more electronic of Bright Eyes' two albums, I might actually have to go (not a big Oberst fan but I will suck it up for The Faint).

JunoRedneck - 2-5-2005 at 06:56 PM

I thought I was the only one in the world who didn't like Conor Oberst. Thank you draconian, for making me not feel like an outcast in a world full of Bright Eyes fans.

EvilMotivator - 2-6-2005 at 12:59 AM

Conor Oberst can suck my pp for all I care.

Jette - 2-6-2005 at 02:49 AM

aww no, hes so cute :( he can suck me anytime!

EvilMotivator - 2-6-2005 at 02:58 AM

He's cute, but his voice is annoying as all hell.

Jette - 2-6-2005 at 05:12 AM

erm, some songs are good, others arent. can imagine his voice being annoying, havent really noticed it like that though

JunoRedneck - 2-6-2005 at 09:31 AM

That's why I don't like them. I just can't get over his voice. It's hard to like a band when you hate the lead singer's voice. But, I guess he's pretty cute. In a lot of pictures though, I think he looks like a girl.

Noisemonster - 2-6-2005 at 10:01 AM

:yawn: saw the video for 'lua' or whatever a couple of days ago and just thought, oh my, never heard/seen anything that boring. just acoustic guitar-dling-dling - yawnnn.. i don't understand the bright eyes hype.
did anyone visit dropkickthefaint? haha, that's fun!

ive got that with placebo. they make such pretty songs, but i really cannot stand the annoying whine of molko!

TurtleEnterprises - 2-6-2005 at 07:55 PM

I just wanna see the killers. Random I know. O'well.

bananaboat - 2-8-2005 at 02:14 PM

I wish I could go to Coachella.

I'm going to see them tomorrow night.. :yes:

EvilMotivator - 2-8-2005 at 07:28 PM

Sucks for you.

DylerPlummer - 2-8-2005 at 10:53 PM

Not really going for the Killers as i think they only have a few good songs but the Futureheads are the support who are excellent along with Bloc party (boring over rated rubbish) and the Kaiser Chiefs..

EvilMotivator - 2-8-2005 at 11:23 PM

Now the Futureheads and Kaiser Chiefs, I would most definitely go for, but The Killers and Bloc Party bore me.

My thoughts exactly :yes:

bananaboat - 2-9-2005 at 02:17 PM

Are the Futurehead and Kaiserchiefs opening up for the Killers?

DylerPlummer - 2-9-2005 at 04:29 PM

Yeah.. Just got back..
First off where The Kaiser chiefs (on way too early) then the Bloc Party (absolute fucking rubbish) then the Futureheads (excellent) and headlining were The Killers (better than the last couple of times).. It was quite a big tour that sold out all the dates straight away and tonight was the last date..
