Coachella 2010 - Bending tones and twangy strange sounds penetrated through the sea of glossy eyed patrons.

Coachella !
I got to see - - John waters !! So dark, funny & dirty old man! LOL
Dj Craze & Klever - TORE IT THE FUK UP!! 4 1200's and MASSSSSIVE REMIXING & SCRATCHING!!
BASSNECTAR SLAMMMMED out the original remixes and sick BASS..
FAITH NO MORE !! ROCKED - they opened with Reunited by peaches and herb.. and it was so so good! ! The Epic off (The Real Thing) Was so great live !! the synths sounded cool and jamming !!
Flowing strange plucking piano tones.. wild!
I walked a bit caught some MGMT they sounded cool..
Then walked to see .. Major Lazer .. It was all hype :(
Real lame.. no bass frequencies at all. all stage glamor and no punch.
Not impressive one bit.. :(
Sad
So i took a quick nap after eatting a coconut and got rest for
LES CLAYPOOL!!!!!
Shit this man can put on a show ! I have seen Primus 4 times in the 90's but this was a different show totally!
Live marimba / percussionist and cello player insane musicians ! !
Made the stage flow with tones and vivid sounds!!
and Les he was the man! thumping and slapping out some of the wildest bass lines . Mid show he grabbed his pig face mask and grabbed the up rite bass!! such a showman and a musical wizard!
Bending tones and twangy strange sounds penetrated through the sea of glossy eyes patrons.

I made it out of that tent just in time for the end of Z-trips set
just catching the most insane remix of the beatles taxman! with great visuals that were saying fuck the IRS and other amazing words of the anti establishment big brother nature! ! ! youtube it.. so great!

THEN THE MOMENT THAT THE WEST COAST WAS WAITING FOR
DIE ANTWOORD
I cant really say much but WOW
I have been to shows but never have I seen so many people crammed into one tent at coachella. I made my way to the middle of the front stage and held my ground. I was in. Ready waiting. Then with a
burst of white light Dj Hi Tek walked out to his tower of a dj stand followed by Yo-Landi Vi$$er and then the Ninja!
all wearing the so famous now b/w hoodies.
IT WAS ON
They tore the roof off the place
BLEW IT THE F>>> UP
One track they played was nothing but the loudest bass I have ever heard in my life throbbing with small drum hits clicking and Yo-landi hype on the Mic! My face felt like it was melting off... !!!

Dj Hi Tek - massive respect!

Then! the moment i was waiting for 10 + years..
Radio Soulwax -
2 Many Dj's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Stage was cleared of all the fancy towers and dj risers . .
A large black banner was raised covering the back screen
that had the Radio Soulwax transition tower on it!
A long basic table was brought out to the middle of the stage
One of the brothers from 2 many dj's came out
with some crazy radio with some glitch devices hooked up...
scanning the frequencies he would grab chunks and glitch them and stutter parts of the radio incoming frequencies.
he proceeded to step behind the table filled with amazing gear and it was on.......

2 MAny DjS KILLLLLLLLLLLLED it!
the best remixing and mashing of songs I have ever witnessed.
I have been a fan of them from the age of 14/15 so this was amazing for me.

They played songs mashed songs together and the whole time
they were doing fun and unique video editing of the actual record covers of the songs they were mashing !!!
