Danny Elfman brings Spider-Man, Batman and The Simpsons to Coachella – review
And now, the time has come for something completely different: composer Danny Elfman is by far the oldest artist to appear at this year’s Coachella with a focus on youth. But based on his eclectic performance on the stage of the Open Air Theater late Saturday night (April 16), his age is the least unusual thing for him. For starters, there may be a few 68-year-old composers around who would choose to perform topless to show off their torso with tattoos. More specifically, there are few composers of all ages who could make a complete orchestra sound like a garage punk band, as Elfman often does throughout his hour-long set. “Hello Coachella,” he says, shortly after playing the crazy single 2021 “Insects” and then a piece of his orchestral music from Spider-Man in 2002. “My name is Danny Elfman and I have a weird little show for you. ». He is not joking. The show draws on all aspects of Elfman’s long-term career – including footage from the former Oingo Boingo band, as well as a decent selection from his new album Big Mess, an album that says it presents “my two sides that always they are fighting for space. “ The happiest moments, however, come with choices from Elfman’s long and varied career composing for film and television. There are songs by Edward Scissorhands, Batman and Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. The crowd applauds with applause when they change the last line of “This is Halloween”, from The Nightmare Before Christmas, to: “What is this … Coachella town?” “My name is Danny Elfman and I have a weird little show for you,” the 68-year-old composer told Coachella. He is not joking. (Getty Images for Coachella) They are even more excited when he undoubtedly plays the most famous piece of music he has ever composed, the Simpsons theme, which he augmented with a heavy guitar solo. Lisa would be proud of his skill. It closes with the solo track “Happy”, with its own dull 3D face rendered on the big screen and the urgent existential punk of “Who Do You Want To Be?” by Oingo Boingo, with lyrics updated to refer to the Kardashians and Kanye West. . Elfman’s detention was undoubtedly a bet, but it is a bet that pays off many times over. He is an artist with an impressive, varied and well-known list behind him, but he is far from the typical heritage festival. This is a four-star set that offers many aspects of Danny Elfman, while giving Coachella the best of both worlds. Kevin EG Perry 17 April 2022 08:00 1650176836
Coachella Noisy Farewell to Brockhampton Innovative Boys Band – Review
After almost a decade of changing boundaries and breaking rules, the most innovative boy band of the 21st century decided to call it day. Taking over the huge aircraft hangar that is the Sahara stage at the Coachella Music Festival on Saturday (April 16th), the large Brockhampton Texan team decided to hang up their hats for good. Well, at least that’s what fans said in January of this year, when they revealed on social media that they would be taking an “indefinite break” following Coachella, while thanking fans for their support over the past eight years.

Then the screens darken, leaving nothing but the words: “Brockhampton. The Final Album. 2022. “If the crowd was not disappointing enough during the set, that is enough to make him miss it completely.

The revelation was accompanied by Khalid and the brass band during the high energy rave set
The last time Surrey-born brothers Howard and Guy Lawrence played Coachella in 2016, they increased their live show with several high-profile guest singers, such as Lorde (for “Magnets”), Sam Smith (for ” Latch “and” Omen “.)) And AlunaGeorge (for” White Noise “). With these high standards, tonight’s performance was relatively light in surprise – rule out Khalid appearing late for the first live appearance of their 2020 collaboration “Know Your Worth”. Perhaps this is a sign that the Lawrence brothers are now more confident in their ability to hold the Coachella audience captive with minimal bells and whistles. Now, over a decade into a career that began as minors, the couple has become experienced experts in delivering a high energy rave at this point. The crowd of Coachella is more than willing to meet them halfway and they are ready for the sunset of the duet, a euphoric hands-in-the-air show. “We want to see the maximum energy, maximum vibrations tonight,” the brothers announce. It is fair to say that their wish is being fulfilled. “When a Fire Starts to Burn” has the whole crowd moving together, while the phone lights flash to illuminate “Nocturnal”. Despite playing the festival yesterday, there is no sign of Slowthai other than the pre-recorded form on the big screen for the Grammy-winning banner “My High”. The duo closes their set with the party anthem “Tondo”, while on stage it joins a section of brass horn, but the focus never really leaves the brothers in the spotlight during the uplifting show for which the stage was set.

While Disclosure is busy with one of the biggest crowds of the weekend at the Outdoor Theater, 88rising is doing their own equally impressive thing on the Coachella main stage. The first record label to receive its own showcase at the festival, the collective does not take this price lightly. Since 2015, 88rising has been collaborating with artists and creators from all over Asia, and tonight, the Los Angeles-based company brings the big boys and girls for an 80-minute extravaganza with an epic list of names, as well as a dance troupe and many more. -flat scene.

Brian and Warren Hue. However, it is the unannounced appearance of Chinese superstar Jackson Wang that makes the festival lose its collective mind. With his silver blue hair and red gloves on the enchanting screen, the fancy Wang goes through ten minutes of inspirational choreography by Michael Jackson with a worthy talent of the Las Vegas magician, leaving many fans more than happy but happy to arrive. and wonder why he was not on stage for at least an hour.

Coachella weather report
Where yesterday it was very hot, today it is definitely very windy. Dust storms surround the site making visibility a challenge for many leading to the festival. On the ground, this means that buckets with hats blow everywhere, buckets that fall in the fields and many hairstyles become non-existent. The solution? Hold your hats, Coachella. Leonie Cooper17 …
