Get Back Loretta

I went to a concert last night and heard a lot of bands I'd never heard of before. Shining Through's lead singer James played acoustic and sang after the show they were going to was rained out. Chasing Paper and Get Back Loretta also played. I really liked Get Back Loretta's performance. I'll be buying their album when it comes out and I might get their EP before then.

Coachella 2006 Lineup Rumor

I can't say how credible this is but I've heard that the Coachella 2006 lineup will definately include the bands listed below. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the Coachella website.

• Bloc Party
• Cat Power
  
• Common
• Damian Marley
  
• Depech Mode
• Franz Ferdinand
• Gnarls Barkley
• Hard-Fi
  
• Ladytron
• The Like
  
• Matisyahu
• My Morning Jacket
  
• Paul Oakenfold
• Scissor Sisters
• She Wants Revenge
  
• Sigur Ros
• Tool
• TV On the Radio
• Wolf Parade
  
• Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I don't think I've heard Common, Ladytron, The Like, or Matisyahu. I'd be interested in seeing Tool, Franz Ferdinand, She Wants Revenge, Gnarls Barkley, Paul Oakenfold, TV On the Radio, Wolf Parade, and My Morning Jacket if I go to Coachella.
