Week 3 brings us three more bands, all have their own well established fan base but we hope to broaden and cross those boarders this week. One has been a recent pop icon gaining great momentum in the recent years, one has recently reunited and has set up Coachella for their no doubt epic springboard, and the last has songs we all know but just don't realize it. Expand, express, and enjoy!
Feist
Genre: Pop/Indie Rock
From Nova Scotia, Canada
Well as we're sure you all know, the beautiful, talented Feist has done it again. Her fourth album, Metals, is another reminder of how awesome she is as a singer as well as a songwriter, and we’d say it would be safe to assume an overall human being. Of the many great tracks off of her newest album, How Come You Never Go There is a prime example of her ability to create elegant yet catchy music that allows her to affect listeners from all walks of life and musical tastes. We remember when we first listened to the album we wanted to cry, but obviously couldn’t because we are men. We are saddened that Ryan will not be grazing the lush green desert grasses with us all for Coachella this year, but you can bet your sweet cheeks that the two of us will be catching her set at Bonnaroo this year. BOOM. And yes, we will be making our greatest attempt at catching her attention and trying to convince her to marry Ryan. Any advice you may have to offer him when we embark on this quest would be greatly appreciated.
The video below features a song written by The Kinks, but we think its great and worth sharing. (Seriously though, help Ryan get her to fall in love with him. Thanks.)
Madness
Genre: Pop/New Wave
From London, UK
The extent of my our relationship with this band only stretches to hearing the song in the video below frequently throughout our childhoods and Ryan acting like a total moron with his sister when it came on around the house. As we continue to explore more of their music and lesser known stuff, Ryan is becoming pretty jealous that he won’t be experiencing this set. He expect at least one of us to give him a phone call during this song. Who doesn’t like the 80s these days? Just go watch them, silly. This is once in a lifetime type stuff. If you need any persuading just look at them in the video! Rad!
At the Drive-In
Genre: Post-Hardcore/Metalcore Emo
From El Paso, Texas
Do you like Mars Volta? Do you Sparta? Meet the mother, father, and legal guardian of those bands. Fans of At the Drive-In are getting ready for a weekend that most thought they'd never get. The band broke up in 2001 to a fan base that was ready and willing to support them for the years that anarchy, emotion, and rebellion ran high within them. When the band split up they became the well known Mars Volta and the lesser Sparta. With the reunion just within grasp for the thousands in attendance at the this years Coachella you can expect a good number of people loosing their minds, and who wouldn't if you'd been waiting ten years? One thing is for sure for fans and new comers, At the Drive-In is sure to put on a show not to be soon forgotten. Coachella will prove to be a launching pad for what should end up being an explosive year, whether good or bad no one can say. Either way we are perfectly content with sitting front row and watching the show!
