Sunday Coachella Report-

Made moves over to the #2 stage to get up close for Bloc Party. A small gap in the tarp covering the backstage area allowed me a good view of the stage entrance ramp. Not even the VIPs on the left side of stage could see this area.

Right before the show started, looking through this opening, I got to see the guys from the band get together for a preshow group hug. They looked like pro athletes gearing up for tipoff or kickoff...and seemed very cohesive and happy with each other.

Then they went onstage and killed it. Brodawgs from the SGV and OC were crowd surfing, Kele climbed the speaker stack, and Matt showed us why the band waited years before picking up a drummer. Devil-horn hand signals were spotted in the crowd for the first time.

They gave us 'Like Eating Glass,' 'Banquet,' and a couple new songs like 'Uniform.'
