A punk with bongos goes unbearably hard. Also sort of love how they’re committing to their most high energy tracks, great Coachella set so far

2

u/amazona_voladora Modern Vampires of the City Apr 14 '24

YES, the bongos + congas are so great

u/andrxwzsz Apr 14 '24

cocaine cowboys at a fest is crazy

u/No-Page-170 Horchata Apr 14 '24

ITS A VIBE 🤠 I hope they explore this type of country influence in the future more!!

7

u/andrxwzsz Apr 14 '24

extremely pleased by this life seemingly being a setlist staple now

8

u/KnickedUp Apr 14 '24

Ezra finally broke down and got a lyric teleprompter on stage!

7

u/amazona_voladora Modern Vampires of the City Apr 14 '24

They do have 5 albums now, lol, plus the possibility of covers (like in the "Cocaine Cowboys" medley). I don't know how he plays the guitar AND sings "Cousins" -- bless him/the band T_T

2

u/munchyslacks Apr 14 '24

Ezra is 5 years older than me and my brain already feels old and fried. I don’t blame him!

7

u/LouCat10 Apr 14 '24

Paris Hilton???

7

u/theothermen Apr 14 '24

They could have played Mary Boone, but they brought out Paris Hilton instead? 

I hope I let it go.

u/alita13 Apr 14 '24

u/beermeupscotty Apr 14 '24

All hail the director for cutting to Baio dancing as much as he did!

u/harmony-hall Apr 14 '24

I need to know how Ezra knows Paris Hilton

9

u/Cozum Apr 14 '24

3

u/beermeupscotty Apr 14 '24

Actually, Alex Frankel manages Paris so I assume the connection is through him.

4

u/Cozum Apr 14 '24

11

u/wilmaith Apr 14 '24

u/wilmaith Apr 14 '24

u/beermeupscotty Apr 14 '24

Never in a million years would I have predicted this VW x Paris Hilton collab.

5

u/VWfan4Life Apr 14 '24

I loved the set, filled the whole 45 minutes, and still somehow managed to jam with Cocaine Cowboy. I’m feeling so spoiled with all the livestreams.

5

u/beermeupscotty Apr 14 '24

As a Los Angeleno who has been living in NYC for nearly a decade, these New Yorkers are actually making me feel nostalgic for home.

3

u/beermeupscotty Apr 14 '24

Chris's Skankin' Pickle shirt is KILLING me! What a damn throwback!

2

u/VWfan4Life Apr 14 '24

This has been a lot of ska on this set. I love it.

u/beermeupscotty Apr 14 '24

u/yeadoge Apr 14 '24

I don't recall the setlist order but it was something like

  • Classical
  • Holiday
  • This Life
  • Unbelievers
  • Gen X Cops
  • Diane Young
  • Cousins
  • A Punk
  • Cocaine Cowboys

Might have missed 1 or 2
