Coachella is presenting it’s second weekend this year out in Indio, California with celebrities making appearances and people getting distracted by fashion, but the music is what it’s all about. Some alternative darlings made their dent in the fest and official performance videos were posted recently. This same festive good time will be ever present on June 18th at PIQNIQ, more on that here.
The Arcs – “Outta My Mind”
This live version will this joyful backup singers makes the chorus really pop for Dan Auerbach and company. .
Meg Myers “Motel”
We had the absolute pleasure of having Meg perform an intimate private set in our Studio & earlier this year (watch that 36 minute set here) so to see bring that vibrant talent to the big tent with palm trees blowing behind her band.
Joywave -”Destruction”
These Piqniq veterans bring a lush bottom end to this song with one of the funkiest bass lines in alternative right now. Singer Daniel Armbruster is proud of it, he proclaims on stage here that “this is the greatest song ever written”….um he may be right about that. Also check out that solid gold microphone?!
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats “Out on a Weekend”
Rateliff and the Sweats delivered the goods at our recent No Dough Show at Basecamp. Not a single hip was without a shake and that same feeling continues here in California
Miike Snow “Gengis KLahn”
This Swedish outfit will be a part of the Lolla ‘16 line up this summer, so take in their live performance of this balld of selfish lovers. The horns and back up singers give it a real presence that differs in a unique way from the recorded version.

Silversun Pickups “Circadian Rhythm (Last Dance)”
It was worth staying up late to catch this set on a live stream. It was worth it to forget that I spilled snacks in my lap while singing along with this track of SSPU’s ‘Better Nature’ album. Despite the tech issue, Nikki Monninger powered through a tech issue on her vocal, which shows these guys are just pros . “Feel my body swoon, to hear you say my name”
Of Monsters & Men “Wolves Without Teeth”
OM&M have certainly become a force to be reckoned with. They previously performed on Coachella on a side stage but bring their Icelandic six-piece to the main stage here.
