The CoachellAltDelight series will put focus on the low key Coachella
artists that we at C+A+D feel like you should know about.
Less than a week till we’re all together!
Alright so big thanks to Goldenvoice for FINALLY releasing the set times for this year’s festival. Several overlaps and lots of decisions.

I’m fairly satisfied with this plan..we’ll see if it holds together. If anyone wants to meet up/chill/dance/enjoy life/have an inspirational chat on the way to the next stage/become friends…let me know in the comments. Best piece of advice I can give is in regards to texting/group shit. Make sure you have a meeting spot for you and your group..or multiple meeting spots. Texting is a beast there since there’s barely any service. Make sure to text a time that you’re going to be somewhere and how long you’re going to be there for. That’s what works for me. Make sure to drink lots of water and have even more fun. I love you!
*it kills me to miss Black Keys/Magnetic Man/Groove Monsters..but the indie/electronic combo shows are the most fun to me. I’m sure I’ll catch Black keys again.
**Try not to miss Boys Noize/Animal Collective. They are teaming up with the Creators Project to make for an insanely visually stimulating live show
***A few days ago A-Trak posted on his fb “Last day of Coachella try outs, then we’re shipping this thing to indio!” Foreshadowing a surprise for Duck Sauce??? It only makes sense.
