Coachella: Day 2, Week 2

Day 2 at Coachella began with the heat soaring up to 40° Celsius so Yuko and I sought some mid-morning refuge in the VIP tent to cool our heels. Our first gig of the day was the Black Lips who resurrected a cardboard cutout of the legendary Biggie Smalls to rival Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's Tupac hologram...

Vancouver's Dan Bejar chilled out the crowd with Destroyer's louche pop on the Outdoor Stage...

We then wandered back into the shade for a blistering doubleheader featuring fIREHOSE and the Buzzcocks...

The gals from Wild Flag were in the audience along with their pal, Fred Armisen!

After the froth and the fury, Laura Marling followed up with an elegantly hushed set....
