Countdown to Coachella: BEST COAST!


For years I’ve been wanting to go to Coachella but this year it’s really happening! When I saw the lineup, I was very pleased to see many of my favorite artists on there. I can’t wait to have a blast listening to great bands/artists. It must be a bit antsy for those of you that are going this April. Hopefully, these countdown posts can help you bare the waiting and get you even more pumped for the upcoming legendary weekend!

If you haven’t heard of Best Coast, brace yourself because you are soon to crush on them. Bethany Consentino (song writer/front woman) will put you in spell of glorious solitude with the help of Bobb Bruno and Ali Koehler. Bethany and Bobb had two previous drummers before Ali came into the picture but I think she compliments them just well. The group has had four EPs since 2009. Those lovely EPs are Make You Mine (2009), Where The Boys Are (2009), Something In The Way (2010), and Summer is Forever (2011). They do have one full-length album (Crazy for You) that was released in July of 2010. If you are one of the many that will experience a life-changing weekend at Coachella be sure to check out Best Coast.

If I haven’t made it obvious enough, Best Coast is one my all-time favorites. It wasn’t too difficult to decide which songs to post because there is no way you can go wrong with any of their songs. I leave you with four of their many presents to our ears. Crush Away!

Best Coast – Boyfriend

Best Coast – The End

Only 84 days remaining until Coachella and today we have music from Two Door Cinema Club. Two Door Cinema Club consists of four Irish mates (ha, mates) with an electro rock/pop tune. TDCC is easily one of my most favorite bands to listen to. I only have five bands/artists that have their own playlist on my iPod: Tupac, XV, Jack Johnson, Wale, and Two Door Cinema Club; that’s it.

Two Door Cinema Club released their debut album, Tourist History, in April of last year and have been touring the globe non-stop. I was fortunate enough to attend one of their US shows in Los Angeles and it was one of the best nights ever. Along with their debut album, they recorded an EP and altogether, they have only 16 songs. The band is also featured on a few Kitsune Maison (their record label) mixes. I first heard of the band through the Kitsune Maison 7 Minimix. I would post every TDCC song but I’ll leave you guys with my four favorite tracks: “What You Know,” “I Can Talk,” and click for the next page to check out my two non-stop repeat songs; “Undercover Martyn,” and “This Is The Life.”

There isn’t a bigger music event in California than the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. This year’s Coachella event draws big interest from music lovers as it packs some of the biggest names in music headlining the show: Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, and Kanye West. Other bands and artists set to perform include Interpol, Mumford & Sons, The National, and Eliza Doolittle (I just had to) among others.

You might not know every band or artist playing, so everyday until Coachella (April 15-17), we will be bringing music from one band/artist who will be performing at Coachella. There are 85 days left until Coachella and at least one bad/artist will be covered each day.
