ChoCoClas is Almost Ready For a Gaga-esque Entrance
ARTISTS & STAGES
Just like every year, the artists this year were FANTASTIC!
We managed to see almost all the sets we wanted including – Ratatat, Chromeo, Kings of Leon, Empire of the Sun, Duck Sauce, Nas & Damian Marley, Lauren Hill, Arcade Fire, Eryka Badu, Bright Eyes, Chemical Brothers, Cee Lo Green, AfroJack, Cut Copy, Boys Noize, Sasha, Skrillex and The Black Keys.
No, I did not go to Coachella. And although I tweeted “So many less D-bags in LA today. They’re probably all at Coachella.” I assure you that was partly out of jealously and partly out of the scientific fact that I knew at last one D-bag who attended Coachella. Also a fact, people liked that status update on Facebook.
So Coachella fashion, since it’s usually as hot as balls in the dessert mid April, Coachella fashion trends are usually a good indication of what you’ll be wearing this summer. You can probably trace the trends of Raybans, fedoras and flannel back to one of these music festivals.
Empire of the Sun
It was like walking on a dream watching Empire of the Sun.
Amazing performers Their music was perfect, I could definitely find myself swaying back with my mind just all into the music. They sang all the songs that I love from them really well. They had the best performance. The awesome and highly detailed costumes and dancers and choreography were the best part.
Ratatat
I hadn’t heard of them before but going to the performance in the mojavi tent was amazing. We posted up right in the front to get a good place to listen and feel the crazy bass of the beats. I ended up loving them. I am definitely going to go download their album now!
While I’ve been to quite a few concerts, I can only say I’ve been to one music festival. It was freezing, and I was slightly under dressed, but more than anything, I was ill-equipped.
After fighting my way to the front, I soon realized I was trapped. I’d have to burrow my way through the hordes of people to get to food and water, something I was not willing to do since Dylan was going on next. Instead, I begged the girl next to me for a sip of her water. She gave it to me, thankfully. Next time, though, so I don’t need to ask strangers like a person who wants to be drugged and murdered, I’m bringing my own backpack chockfull of water and Special K.
Ideally, it would be the beautiful Hunter Rucksack from Bill Amberg. Also ideally, I’ll be wearing Zara’s crochet dress and the House of Harlow 1960 earrings I’ve been coveting for months. Maybe by next year’s Coachella.
