I am not going to lie folks,I am a huge music junkie. I spend obscene amounts of time finding new artists and hearing new tracks. I am constantly comparing one sound to another sound. That being said the Coachella Music & Arts Festival is the motherland of good music. This year my friend Monica and are making the trek out to Palm Springs California. Well with a line up like this who the hell could blame us.

| The Holy Grail |
That being stated I began the overwhelming task of discovering the "new"* bands. I go day by day, and so far day one is looking pretty good.Here are the top 5 bands I am stoked to see at Coachella this year.
Hello Seahorse!
This band is a perfect mix of upbeat dance music that I love and deep heartfelt Spanish ballads that always move me. I especially love this track called "Un Ano Quebrado"
Madness
God I am so excited to see madness. They helped create modern day Ska and they always put on an amazing show. This is my favorite song by them called "Our House"
M83
I remember hearing M83 and their song "Midnight City at Zia Records. I ran straight home and downloaded it right away. I listened to it Five times in a row. M83 makes me want to get up and dance like there is no one in the room**
The Horrors
I don't know what I love more about The Horrors, the heavily eye liner look that the entire band loves, the amazing outfits they wear on stage, or the dreamy British accents that they croon at you with. This band is pretty bad ass and they do it with out even trying. This is my favorite song by them I Can See Through You.
Swedish House Mafia
I saved the best for last. Swedish House puts on and AMAZING light show when they do live shows, Their isn't anyone who is dancing during their sets. This is my new favorite song "Antidote"
I will go ahead and post new bands from day two and three as I finish listening to them in future posts.
* clearly by new I mean new to me.
** all the while checking to see if anyone is looking at me dancing.
