(Note that the real URL should be  http://www.goldenvoice.com/coachella/ ...
 or you can go to  http://www.kroq.com/promotions/coachella/main.html as well)

What is it about?  It's America's answer to Tribal Gathering.

Who will actually be there?  You should be.

Oh, you meant the *acts*?  Probably most all of them.

The promoters are Goldenvoice.  They've been around for 20 years.  They
put on *big* events here in L.A. nowadays.  This is NOT A DRILL.

It's also being sponsored by KROQ.  You know - Weenie Roast, bad "Alternative"
crap music (a proud KROQ tradition since 1976).  That KROQ.

But the point is, this is legit, it will happen, and it's almost mind-blowing
how they're willing to make it, esentially, an Electronic Music festival with
some big American Indie acts taking the place of Tribal Gathering's Indie/Dance
crossover UK bands.

Ignoring the Rock/Jazz/Lounge/etc. acts, it's probably the most amazing
Electronic Music festival bill in United States history.

And if it's anything like Organic '96, it might even be the greatest.

Be there or be square.
