Cochella

I'm totally psyched on this year's Cochella lineup. I've never been compelled to go to that festival before, but they managed to put together my wet dream lineup of artists. Many of the bands on the bill I have seen before and have taped a lot of them live. Here's a little sampler to get you juiced for Cochella:

Manu Chao

The Coup

The Roots

Gogol Bordello

Nightwatchman

2006 REVIEW - PART 1

I've video taped tons of live shows the past year and I'm slowly posting them up. This summer I was at a couple Warped Tour shows (Bristow and Cleveland) and shot a lot of the bands on those dates. Bouncing Souls, Joan Jett, Valient Thorr, Bullet for My Valentine, Outernational, Pink Spiders and Helmet. I already posted Spiders and Valient clips on youtube, so now comes Helmet live in Bristow, featuring footage of kids skating on the ramps they had on tour:

Also, I had the good fortune of seeing Seattle's (by way of Bosnia, Japan, and Croatia) own KULTUR SHOCK twice this year. once at Irving Plaza in June, opening the Gypsy Benefit for Gogol Bordello and then again a couple months later at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. They put on a great live show and here's a clip of them in SF:

The Coup Live Pre-Accident

By now most people have already heard about the unfortunate bus crash that forced The Coup to cancel the rest of their Winter Tour. Thankfully everyone is okay and recovering. Looking forward to seeing them back at it on NYE in Santa Rosa. In the meantime I have a couple videos here of them performing in San Francisco a couple days before the crash. The first is Shoyoass, featuring the beautiful and talented SILK-E and the second clip is an encore jam with Eric McFadden. Peace!

TALES FROM THE ARCHIVES - MANU CHAO

From time to time I'm going to post videos that I've shot over the past couple years. Here's a slice of the Manu Chao show in Brooklyn this summer. Hoping to put together something else from this show soon. I got the whole show and hope to team up with Dimon at some point and cut it into a proper concert video.

Gogol Bordello is about to embark on yet another trip across the USofA, first terrorizing the Primus kids on the west coast and then teaming up with the almighty Valient Himself and his Thorrior Nation to completely bend your mind. To get fired up, check out videos of both acts here:
