Hardcore Heroes Fucked Up Stage "Bootleg Coachella" at Nearby Hipster Motel

• They have a new full-length album out in just under two months on Matador, so I think they might have enough "new" material to warrant having been invited back. Glad I had the chance to see them at the Echoplex in Los Angeles last evening...I wouldn't attend the dusty, scorching clusterf*ck of Coachella if you paid me to (and this year's lineup was one of the most unadventurous/uninspired they've assembled yet...there's a incredible amount of fantastic new rock music and bands out now but I'll be damned if I see much of it on the roster for this festival).

• Maybe they weren't invited back because a 3 song EP isn't enough new material warranted to be invited back? and how you think playing a Coachella after-party is "anti-Coachella" is beyond me (and most people I'm sure). And I'm not sure how hotels started becoming labels as hipster hotels or not, but I'd say your image of the place is imposed by the fact that it is only 'hipsters' that attend these after-parties/pool parties, for the most part. I'll be getting my fix of "less punk" bands next week from the likes of Wire, Big Audio Dynamite, OFF!, HEALTH, and Lightning Bolt... mislabeled disdain man....

• But it's a totally different spirit. Did you check out the lineup this year?

• All of the Ace's rooms will be booked by Coachella attendees that weekend, so I'm scratching my head at billing this as an "anti-Coachella" since it'll be a bonus performance for Coachella-goers staying at the hotel.
