(CelebNMusic247-News) Coachella Day 1 -Ring on The Guitar
The Stone Roses and Blur gave a stellar performace last night for the first night and opening of the Coachella Festival 2013.
Coachella 2013 is underway and streaming live in case you can’t make the festival you can watch from home…Just think of it all the comforts of home up close and without the pushing and shoving of the crowd.
Nah, we know there is nothing like being there, breathing the air, taking in the experience and living! Day 1 is a wrap, but goes down in Coachella history as the day to Ring in the Guitar
Here is what the NY Times had to say about Friday’s showcase of talent:
Friday’s lineup was teeming with such line-jumpers, performing with various degrees of laurel-resting. Early in the day came the Shouting Matches, a shambolic blues-esque outfit whose sales pitch is that it includes Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. The group took almost a half-hour for sound check, and its set was almost as loose. Mr. Vernon, such a precise and processed singer in Bon Iver, was here far more at ease, pushing his vocals no harder than the amiable songs demanded.
Later, in the dance-centric Sahara tent, Dog Blood performed a loud but not thunderous set. It’s a collaborative project of Skrillex and Boys Noize, and does not quite live up to Skrillex’s typical punishment or Boys Noize’s characteristic exuberance.
Here are our pictures from day one (which do not include Polica, but check out our instagram for a shot of Justin Vernon joining them on stage).
In a day 1 photo journey we would like to give you highlight’s from the day of the guitar at Coachella day 1 2013!

Coachella proved that the guitar is still alive and living at Coachella this weekend!
With artists like Divine Fits (Britt Daniel of Spoon + Dan from Wolf Parade), Deathfix(Brendan Canty of Fugazi on drums), Grinderman with Nick Cave, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Trent Reznor of NIN in How to Destroy Angels (who made their live debut days earlier), Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys with his band The Guantanamo School of Medicine, and more. And of course reunions and britrock galore with Blur, The Stone Roses, Sparks, and Jurassic 5 all also playing Friday.
The Art didn’t suck either as Coachella 2013 once again delivered:
“The giant snail. Yes, really. One of the most bizarre sightings Friday was this innovative art installation…
…Dubbed Helix Poeticus, the massive, machine-operated snail slowly crept along the field during Modest Mouse‘s performance, and its silver body shimmered under the night sky as its shell glowed.” – LA Times
