In this series, we get to know a few of the small font bands at Coachella this year.
The Sheepdogs
Some of you may remember Rolling Stone did a contest last summer where fans could vote to put an indie band on the cover -- well, the Sheepdogs won that contest. Classic rock revival band from Canada, have a sound somewhere between the Guess Who and the Allman Bros (with just a hint of Bob Weir). Love it.
Other Lives
Melodic indie rock out of Oklahoma, been around for a few years, supported Bon Iver for a few shows on the last tour. Kind of a distant, sweeping sound -- almost reminds me of the moody blues at times? (in the good way)
Wild Beasts
Cool name. Apparently have a bigger following in the UK. Hard to say why these guys don't annoy me, but they don't. The songs can be hypnotic, complex at times, good replay value. Voices sound a little goofy, but I respect the range.
More to come...
