Amon Tobin

Now I know that watching an almost 14 minute video seems a little over the top, but once you get absorbed into the one above, there's no turning back, or off. Amon Tobin, born Amon Adonai Santos de Araujo Tobin is a Brazilian born musician, composer, and producer, and is the master mind behind the cubic viewing pleasure used to present his latest album, ISAM. He is considered to be one of the most influential people in the EDM scene to date, and has released several albums under the Ninja Tune record label. His accomplishments range from creating music for independent films, major motion pictures, anime, and video games, and the list of instruments he knows how to play is twice as long. A true musical talent is in Amon Tobin, as well as a revolutionary mind for creation and presentation. The prime example being his live show for the ISAM album. If you didn't watch long enough to notice, he is performing from inside one of the cubes! Tobin's goal with the show was to integrate himself literally into the presentation of the music, which he accomplished with great success. Tobin is legendary and is sure to deliver on our expectations at Coachella 2012, where he will be blowing our minds on Friday, April 13th and 20th!

Kasabian

Since the invention of such websites as SoundCloud, Pandora, 8tracks, and all those other kick-ass music sites out there, I have kinda forgone listening to my iTunes library. Which I am now realizing is quite unfortunate considering that I have an cornucopia (shout-out to all my Boy Meets World fans out there!) of Kasabian tracks! When I first stole these jams from my wonderful Aussie friend, Sam, I didn't realize that I had struck gold. But let me tell you, while writing a post I listen to the music of who I'm writing about, and right now...I. am. STOKED! How I went this long without blasting this English rock band's music is just a disgrace! Comprised of Tom Meighan, Sergio Pizzorno, Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews, and Jay Mehler, this indie rock/rock/space rock/neo-psychedelia/electronica (phew, what a mouth full!) band has been together (for the most part) since 1997. They started out under the name Saracuse, but changed it to Kasabian after Linda Kasabian, Charles Manson's getaway driver. Always good to have an interesting story, right? But enough of that! All you need to know, is they are going to sex up your eardrums and undoubtedly make you  move your body as though we were in the 60's! Kasabian will be performing at Coachella on Saturday, April 14th and 21st.
