Because you’re too busy to fight the traffic to Indio…
Because you’re too tired to spend all day baking in the desert sun…
Because you’re too old for feathered headbands…
Because you’re too flabby for short-shorts…
Here’s a list of “localchella” shows: gigs in and around Los Angeles by Coachella bands during the weeks leading up to and between the two Coachella 2014 weekends (April 11-13 and 18-20). Can’t get out to Indio? No problem. Let Indio come to you.
(Thanks to Goldenvoice, Localchella 2014 comes with an awesome poster by Luke McGarry of the Fantastic Heat Brothers.)
