Neon Indian

Named one of the hottest new bands in 2010 by Rolling Stone magazine, Neon Indian of Denton, Texas brings the good vibes with their indie electro sounds. Their music is composed by Mexican-born Alan Palomo, who moved to Texas at the young and wild age of five. He is joined by Leanne Macomber, Jason Faries, and Lars Larsen to produce synthpop, chillwave, new wave, and noise pop beats to keep your body movin to the groove and your head in a happy place. One of Palomo's ex-girlfriends stemmed the creation of "Should Have Taken Acid With You" after they missed an acid date, and upon her positive response to the song, he continued to produce music as Neon Indian. As sad as it might have been for them to miss that date, we can all consider ourselves lucky. Without that we might not be blessed with the listening pleasure that is Neon Indian. They're another group whose music will keep your shoulders rotating, your head bobbing, and your smile wide. Neon Indian will be performing at Coachella 2012 on Friday, April 13th and 20th, so get ready to dance and smile!

Kaiser Chiefs

This indie rock group hailing from Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, sings with heart and sends a message through every song they create. They're named after the South African football team, Kaizer Chiefs, and have been throwing out tasteful jams since 1996. They drew inspiration for their first album, Employment, from 1970s and 1980s punk rock and new wave, and worked their way into the indie rock scene with their later albums. Band members Nick Baines, Nick Hodgson, and and Simon Rix first met when they were eleven and attending St. Mary's Catholic High School (not the one my sister went to here in the States, unfortunately), and like all good things in life, the forces of nature brought them back together in later years. Other band members, Ricky Wilson and Andrew White, were brought into Hodgson's life while Rix and Baines went to university. The trio formed the band Runston Parva, which luckily for all of us who will be at Coachella, did not work out, leading to the formation of Kaiser Chiefs. Kaiser Chiefs have that smooth indie Brit sound and draw you into their music with their beautiful and captivating eyes, I mean voices... ;)
