Azealia Banks

HOT DAMN this chick has some mad style. When I first heard "212" pumping through my earphones I thought I was sensing Nicki Minaj, but soon realized I was mistaken. Azealia Banks is a 20-year old American rapper/singer/lyricist from Harlem that pumps out hip hop and electro house jams to keep the partying jumping. Her raps are so tight, with that necessary hint of filth, and when she sings you better not be holding a dish, because you might drop it when her soulful voice hits your eardrums. She started out under the name Miss Bank$, but my guess is she realized how bad she is, and decided to just stick with the name her mama gave her. Banks is sure to put on a good show at the festival, so keep those ears open so you can catch it!

Azealia Banks will be performing at Coachella on Saturday, April 14th and 21st. To learn/hear more check out her page on Wikipedia, her website, or follow her on MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter!

St. Vincent

St. Vincent- "Marrow"

While her birth certificate says Annie Erin Clark, her fans know her as St. Vincent. She's an American singer-songwriter who was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but grew up in Dallas, Texas, and whose musical talent goes far beyond her vocal skills. She learned to play the guitar at the age of 12, and picked up the bass and keyboards as well. Prior to embarking on a solo career, she was part of The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens', and since forming her own band has collaborated with the likes of Kid Cudi and Cage, as well as with Bon Iver on "Roslyn" (which was featured in The Twilight Saga: New Moon). Maybe if we're lucky they will join forces again right before our eyes at the festival!

This indie/baroque pop-art/math rock gal will bring your musically inclined senses to a happy halt with her edgy jams. Her music has a fun, funky, and interesting sound to please any level of listening you might desire, and her lovely face is perfect for producing such a lovely voice. To watch her perform her music makes you fall in love with her and drift away to a nostalgic place. She'll be playing on Saturday, April 14th and 20th, so put her on your "To See List," and get ready to be taken to your happy place!
