FINAL DAY AT COACHELLA
MusicSunday was the third and final day of burning sun and killer shows at Coachella 2009. On the trek in we saw this guy, who almost made it into the parking lot before his car had to be doused by the fire truck.
First show of the day was the Friendly Fires. They made everyone (including me) dance and i forgot to take a photo.
Over in the next tent Fucked Up was playing.
Taking a brief pause to chat in between climbing everything in sight and heading into the audience, Damian assured everyone in the pit that none of them should worry because he gets tested regularily, which i thought was very nice and quite Canadian of him.
Lykke Li put on one of the best performances of the weekend. I'll post her cover of Lil Wayne's A Milli as soon as i get it uploaded.
I planned on going to see The Clipse next, but they were a no-show. Unfortunately, the crowd's chants of bullshit probably didn't even matter to the boys from Virginia.
Instead, i got a chance to see Antony and the Johnsons.
He's got a pretty unique voice and i liked hearing something different.
Caught a couple songs at Peter, Bjorn and John before heading to grab a nice snack.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were on the mainstage at sundown. So good good good.
I got to see Devendra Banhart live for the first time and now i like him even more.
I felt kind of creepy snapping this shot of Kirsten Dunst, but then i heard all the shutters going and saw the even creepier paparazzii hiding behind trees to get their photos. At least i wasn't being sneaky about it.
My Bloody Valentine produced a constant wall of sound, but in a good way.
The highlight of my night. Public Enemy played every song from It Takes a Nation of Millions to a crowd consisting of fans who could, and did, sing along to all the songs, and fans who weren't even born when the album came out.
The man is 50. Its no wonder his crew looked nervous when he jumped off of speakers and took a couple of dives into the crowd.
This was my favourite day of the festival by far and a great end to another trip to Coachella.
