Hello all,
Miraculous as it may seem, it's true - the god Patrick Forge is bringing the
Da Lata live show for an ultra-rare US appearance on the first day of
Coachella. A midday "Serious" will surely be incendiary and SUBLIME, and we
can but hope that the special nature of the occasion may bring in an
appearance from Jhelisa or Bembe. With the mighty Kinky, Antibalas, and
Sidestepper also on the bill, this year's line-up is HEAVY on the brilliant
global-flavored grooves.
Speaking of, I know for a fact that Goldenvoice is in negotiations with the
almighty Marky and XRS to bring them in as a late addition, but whether that
will pan out (PLEASE!!! - especially with the new live band) remains to be
seen...
The only other new definite addition of note is Richard Fearless on Day 2,
elevating the otherwise murky DJ line-up (Laurent Garnier notwithstanding
obviously) a bit.
Best,
Brian
