At a promising 19 years of age, Jake Bugg is definitely wise beyond his years. His music brings to mind the heyday of various ’60’s rock n’ roll sounds. Behind the lively instrumentals are narratives indicative of a deeper understanding of life. The lesson is simple: take chances, Lightning Bolt, and you’ll find what matters most amidst all the hardships, Simple As This. A considerably apt outlook on life for someone so young.

Simultaneously encouraging and relatable, Jake Bugg’s music should provide you with a nice respite of classic rock for the start of your hectic weekend. We think you’ll agree with our sentiments when you see him on Friday.

Get acquainted. Buy his self-titled.

Day party season is upon us. Le Youth starts us off with some old school memories with a new twist courtesy of Sole Bicycle‘s Fixtape Series. What better way to kick back than being reminiscent of your wondrous youth.

Good ol’ Treasure Fingers sparks it up with his trademark feel-good house in his Spring Thirteen mix. Throw in some funk, some flavor; shake it up, and chase that sunset chill.

Brainchild of Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Raf Rundell (of Greco-Roman Soundsystem), The 2 Bears are two chaps from London with deeply established roots in the UK music scene. Their influence across the pond is definitely noticeable in the type of sounds that have been coming out of Europe lately. Their debut album Be Strong showcases their music as a curious mixture of house, funk, disco, dance, and soul.

They play Saturday. We suggest stopping by their set if you’re chasing that feel good vibe. You won’t be disappointed. Then pay (the very busy) Joe Goddard another visit, we assume later on in the day, for Coachella regulars Hot Chip and see what he can do when he’s got a live band behind his voice.

The 2 Bears – Work

The 2 Bears – Bear Hug

The 2 Bears – Ghosts and Zombies

Hot Chip – Night and Day (2 Bears ft. Trim edit)

The Neighbourhood is playing on Friday. Start your weekend off with some ‘Black and White’. The self-created genre fits perfectly when you take in these five LA residents’ music as a whole. We classify their music as either dark or happy (though most of their songs are definitely further down the gradient). Their break-out hit, arguably, Sweater Weather is the closest resemblance to a happy song. Either way, the passion that lead singer Jesse Rutherford exudes is contagious; sure to put in you a trance. Comparable to a catharsis, these guys will help clear your minds for the rest of the experiences that the Coachella Polo Fields offers.

Support your Neighbourhood here.
