the Vans Warped Tour “kicks off” at the Home Depot Center in Carson. un-fucking-believable… sorry, going to wax disaffected youth for a sec… punk used to be the antithesis of selling out and here we have the “Vans” Warped Tour at the “Home Depot” center… kind of makes me remember why i stopped listening to that shit. regardless, there are some great old-skool bands on the tour, including Angry Samoans, Agent Orange, Dickies (who are always always always absolutely amazing live), GBH, Pennywise, Adolescents, Casualties, and others. Saturday it hits Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View (tickets) and Sunday they’re in Ventura at Seaside Park (tickets).
speaking of punk, there’s a Grease sing-a-long at the Hollywood Bowl. O-M-G!!! (discounted tickets available at Goldstar here)
hey, if Justin Timberlake likes him, he MUST be good. WTTD pal Mike Stilkey is doing two HUUUUGE installations (2500 books each) for the inaugural opening of the Hurley Space (1945 Placentia Ave) gallery down in Costa Mesa this Saturday, June 5th. so go see them and then knock ‘em down, cause that would be hilarious. he’d probably cry.
Faith No More!!! fuck yes fuck yes fuck yes!!! they’re going to have trouble selling Saturday, but otherwise, hellz to the yeah, Coachella! break out the drugs, party people. jesus satan will see you in April. tickets go on sale Friday, Jan 22nd at 10am via Ticketmaster and the Coachella site.
here is the annual fake Coachella lineup for 2010 (thanks Los Anjealous). jesus satan will shit his pants if Faith No More is there, and i’m guessing that a lot of these other bands are actually pretty solid bets. The xx, Major Lazer, and Vampire Weekend are all a given. Public Image Ltd is a good possibility, as is Devo, The Antlers, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Imogen Heap and La Roux. i also wouldn’t be surprised about LCD Soundsystem and Massive Attack, both have new albums coming out this year - R.I.P.
