The Specials to Play Club Nokia the Night Before Their Coachella Gig
Plugged-in music headz know that the Specials have reformed and are playing Coachella this year. That's old -- but incredibly exciting -- news. What's surprising is that the band has been allowed to circumvent Goldenvoice's dictate that prohibits a band from playing the Los Angeles market in the month leading up to and after the three-day desert fest; they perform at Club Nokia the night before their Coachella gig.
Yes, that's right: the Specials, the greatest of the second-wave ska bands, are gigging Club Nokia on Thursday, April 15, one of only four North American shows (excluding their April 13 Jimmy Fallon appearance).
After the jump: a few Specials tracks to lift your Wednesday.
