CHISME DOMINGUERO: COACHELLA 2013



¡Adivina un subheadliner de Coachella 2013!

Coachella 2013 ocurrirá una vez más en dos fines de semana idénticos, 12-14 y 19-21 de abril. Ya se vendió la primer tanda de boletos, y muy probablemente ya esté listo el lineup. Ahora, a 4 meses de enero (mes en el que se anuncia el cartel) hay una supuesta fuga de información.

"Huge reunion was leaked to me today. They are going to kick off their reunion tour at Coachella.

Here is the background story. I was in the office of a co-worker in an industry that is so far distanced from music and entertainment that it isn't even funny. There was some Stagecoach memorabilia in the office, and so I made some comment like, "Oh, do you go to Stagecoach?" 
Them: "Yes, every year." 
Me: "Oh, I go to Coachella every year."
Them: "So do I! I've been every year because of [INSERT BUSINESS CONNECTION WITH GOLDENVOICE.] My favorite acts have been Paul McCartney and Madonna."
Me: "Cool".
BLAH BLAH BLAH BUSINESS
Them (as I am leaving the door): "But you'll never guess who they have for next year."


I get all excited thinking it's a headliner. It's not, but I'm guessing second liner. They say "BLAHBLAHBLAH".

It's pretty big.

I'm not going to ruin anything for anybody, because I do think it will be a great left field surprise, but I am going to leave vague enough clues that when the act ends up on the poster, I can be all like, "Told you I knew what I was talking about." Because I'm an ass.

-Band, not solo singer
-80s era
-At least one member has significant name recognition outside of the band
-No way Bonnaroo or Lolla will book it


All I'll say is that it would be a really odd name for a bluff. Kind of like that dude last year that tweeted ATDI/Refused (but different genre and era, obviously). Totally plausible, but not a name people are speculating about, or that there is a ton of news about either. And the connection to the festival is strong enough (although in a weird sort of way) that I don't doubt they'd have the info"

Los chavos del sur estarán cubriendo el festival desde Indio, California. Para calentar los ánimos, decidimos organizar un juego a partir de esta información que se esconde en el inframundo del foro de Coachella.

REGLAS DEL JUEGO:
  • Comenten en esta entrada la banda que creen que sea y firmen con su nombre (REAL, NO HAY PREMIO SIN IDENTIFICACIÓN). 
  • Sólo es una oportunidad (banda) por participante.
  • El que le atine a esta REUNIÓN-SUBHEADLINER se llevará un souvenir oficial del festival.
  • NO SON LOS SMITHS.
  • Recuerden las pautas que da esta persona: Reunión, banda de los 80s, un miembro es de renombre, no es algo extremadamente popular ya que no serían headliners y no es algo que estaría en Lollapalooza o Bonnaroo (y eso dice muchísimo).
Buena suerte.

Nosotros también jugamos. Creemos que será THE POLICE o CULTURE CLUB.
