If you’ve never seen them before then you should make an effort and go. Why? Because they sound amazing live. What do they sound like? Their sound is furiously loud and amazing. Also, it’s free and you get to go to an exhibit to boot.

if you’ve already seen them live before then do a good deed and take someone who hasn’t.

At The Drive-In are reuniting!! (Again)

So, At The Drive-In just announced that they’re reuniting (again), that there will be a tour in 2016 and the possibility of new music from the band too!

And all of this is supposed to get us fans all excited about the possibility of seeing them live, and in some cases again!

But here is where my concern lies. First and foremost, will the new music be any good?

I don not doubt for a second the ability of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez to write a great song and for Cedric Bixler-Zavala to deliver an electrifying performance both on record and live. However, their most recent album (Antemasque) left much to be desired. The new Omar Rodriguez-Lopez band album, with Cedric on vocals also felt it lack something. The last couple of The Mars Volta albums were somewhat underwhelming, mostly due to Jon Theodore not drumming for them anymore.

Now I know that this is a ATDI album, but this also means that expectations fore what an album from them should/could potentially/hopefully will sound like. By no means do I want or need a repeat of any of their previous albums but I am expecting a great album that lives up to their name.

Just please don’t make this reunion about a cash grab and have the live performances dull and repetitive. Please have them be powerful and exciting!

Primavera 2016

WOW!

In a world full of boring and homogenized festival lineups it is really refreshing and exciting to see something that stands up shoulders above the rest.

This lineup takes a look back, goes into the future, continues with reunions and has a firm grip in the present.

This announcement reminds of a short time ago when waiting for a festival to release their lineup almost had us in stitches. That feeling had dissipated in recent years due to the lackluster look of the same artists crossing each other’s paths around the different festivals going on.

But this lineup reignited a passion for a festival setting, even though that math will show that there will be some conflicts with the set times BUT that is the beauty of walking around any festival ground. You will miss a few sets. You might be lucky enough to discover some new favorite bands. You will endure for your favorites and hopefully some great memories will be created.

Looking at this stacked lineup some (at least 15) of the can’t miss acts here are (in no particular order):

  • Radiohead
  • Lcd Soundsystem
  • PJ Harvey
  • Kamasi Washington
  • John Carpenter
  • Brian Wilson
  • Air
  • Cabaret Voltaire
  • Suede
  • Moderat
  • GOAT
  • Beak>
  • Beirut
  • Loop
  • Drive Like Jehu

Congratulations to the people behind the festival for a great lineup!
