Coachella 2009 Recap: Friday

This year, my sixth attending the coachella festival, was probably my least anticipated.  Not because of the lineup or anything like that but i had a lot of trips and stuff leading up to it, so i really didn’t have much time to get my hopes up, etc. until the week of the actual festival.  Which may be why i ended up enjoying it as much, if not more than any year I can remember.  Pretty much every band we saw either lived up to expectations or surpassed them and the festival itself just overall seemed much more enjoyable.

Here is my breakdown of every band we caught.  Some of them we only saw a couple songs before we headed elsewhere, so by no means is this meant to be taken as anything other than musings, as i can’t seriously write off a band if i don’t see an entire set.  That said, enjoy.
