NOTES:

I've been hoping these guys would show up on the lineup for the last couple of years, and so though it was a long wait, it was well worth it in my opinion (especially since it was a 1-2 punch with them playing right after Drive Like Jehu). It was a pretty small crowd (everyone else must have been at the EDM stages?), but that meant it was a pretty intimate show, and at Coachella, those types of shows are always special. Since they were only given 55 minutes (they went on a tad late this weekend I think), they didn't really play that many songs (as expected). In fact, after the set ended (they actually played over the curfew and had the sound cut out on them, but their amps and shit were still really loud, so it wasn't that noticable - it's funny, because the next weekend it was Drive Like Jehu who went over their curfew instead - as if they had traded off doing that both weekends), some dude yelled out for a setlist, and Michael Gira looked down at him and said "Dude, it was only two fucking songs". Classic.

I'm pretty sure I have the setlist right, but it's possible they interluded some quick cuts/portions of other songs in there as well?
