 Jesus and Mary Chain?!!!! WTF?!

[HoyaSaxa03]

nice to see against me! on the list

The last time I saw the JAMC in concert they were horrible. Here's hoping that they won't suck at Coachella. And same thing for the Happy Mondays.
 
 Too bad they didn't get Ned's Atomic Dustbin or Inspiral Carpets to play. I think I would have flown out for those!

[Bombay Chutney]

I wouldn't be surprised if J&MC show up, play for 15  minutes and leave.

[sonickteam2]

yeah, i saw JAMC in 1996 and they were POO POO
 
 but who knows,
 
 actually JAMC turns this into at least the second best lineup Coachella ever had.
 
 if they got Mudhoney, it would be Number 1.

I dig the line up, but for some reason there isn't one act I really want to see (okay, maybe the Happy Mondays). Anyway, I'm waiting to see the official Bonnaroo line up before I make any decisions.

The Happy Mondays were the worst of Manchester. They have a few good songs, but the best stuff they released was the Hallelujah EP, and it was all remixes. Now the Stone Roses on the other hand...oh man.
 
 From the Manchester baggy era, I think my faves are the Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Charlatans UK (OK, they're from Norwich), and Northside. Inspiral Carpets put on the most psychedelic show I've ever seen...strobes, slide projections, just the most insane visuals that you can't even imagine. I know, sounds very Pink Floyd, but they were far more 60's garage than anything else. Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine put on one hell of a light show too. Those were some fun concerts.

 They're fucking terrible. Anthemic jock-trance.

[HoyaSaxa03]

so why are they at an indie-festival?

[azaghal1981]

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm sure there will be something else going on at the same time though. Infected Mushroom are along the same lines too. They're like lame trance with a psychedelic twist.

[sweetcell]

tiesto and PVD are mega-stars of the dance scene.  that they would headline the dance tent portion of such a large festival isn't that surprising.
 
 i found it very interesting that infected mushroom are scheduled to appear (they are notorious for "missing their plane" because of "health reason").  once upon a time they were highly respected in the psytrance scene, now they're derided because of their cross-over success and/or change of style.  no matter how much one might consider Coachella to be an "indie-festival", to some it is a sign of selling out.

[azaghal1981]

I was kinda hoping to see some minimal/techhouse I.E. Booka Shade, DJ T, Akufen, Isolee, M.A.N.D.Y., etc. instead of the usual trance suspects in the dance tent.
