Coachella Music and Arts Festival 04/15/12 Empire Polo Fields - Indio, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito For the final day of my first Coachella weekend I arrived to the Empire Polo Fields much later than I had the first two days. I could tell by the time that I was to the Beats Antique tent that the energy had changed.

Coachella Music and Arts Festival 04/14/12 Empire Polo Fields - Indio, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito I had three goals for Coachella on Saturday. See as many acts as possible while getting inebriated enough to enjoy Radiohead after having my Kasabian live cherry popped. All I have to say is Mission Fucking Accomplished. Black Lips One of my top twelve bands to see at Coachella, I made it to the stage about ½ through the Flower Punkers set. I saw no barfing; I saw no guitars being ... Read More

Coachella Music and Arts Festival 04/13/12 Empire Polo Fields - Indio, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito There was a reason I have always avoided Coachella and that reason is the sun. Fact is my white ass doesn’t do so well out in the middle of the desert. So it is fitting that my first trip to Coachella felt more like my hometown of San Francisco versus the Palm Desert. Strong winds, sporadic showers and thick fog were a downer for everyone but me. But enough ... Read More

The Top 12 Must See Acts of Coachella 2012 According To Our Shit Talking Loud Mouth Founder Reverend Justito My only trek to Indio for three days of music in the desert was nearly 2 ½ years ago. It featured one band performing 8 sets for 45,000 devoted fans. Truth be told, I am a bit scared of my first Coachella experience. I am not really the violent type, but the right mix of mind altering substances as well as the heat and ... Read More

Phish 3D 04/20/10 The Bridge Theatre - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos/Videos by concertconfessions.com Upon coming home from Festival 8, my goal was to write 8 reviews of the epic Halloween party hosted by the rock band Phish.  However fatigue, writers block and the real world reared it’s ugly head and I tapped out at 7, or so I thought.  While clear from, Speculation back in October was that Phish was going to release an IMAX 3D film from the bash out at the Empire Polo ...

Phish – Festival 8 10/30-11/01/2009 – Empire Polo Fields: Indio, CA Words by Reverend Justito Note: Minus some video of Free, with full memory cards I decided to simply enjoy the music vs. messing with my camera) As I made the long walk from Hunky Dory to the concert field for the last time, cold can of beer in hand, I stopped for a few moments and just took it all in. The phans, the security and of course the beautiful mountain backdrop which the sun ... Read More

Phish – Festival 8 10/30-11/01/2009 – Empire Polo Fields: Indio, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito Sunday morning/early afternoon at Festival 8 was nothing short of perfect.  I made my way to the venue pretty early in hopes of getting an 8 shaped donut and coffee along with a free scoop of Phish food in exchange for a busted old cell phone.  While I managed to get my ice cream, I never made it into the 45 minute line for a free donut and coffee.  Why ...

Phish – Festival 8 10/30-11/01/2009 – Empire Polo Fields: Indio, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito I was somewhere near Life On Mars Ave when the news began to take hold.  It was Halloween 2009, and I was in the middle of the f’n desert where Phish would be covering Exile on Main St by The Rolling Stones in just a few hours.  If my father has taught me anything, it’s that The Rolling Stones are nothing more than a glorified bar band, and out of ...

Phish – Festival 8 10/30/2009 -11/01/2009 – Empire Polo Fields: Indio, CA Words by Justin  It was a week ago to the moment that I was at the beautiful Casino Morongo in Cabazon, CA when I saw a tweet that more or less said the following:   Got raped by security going into @phishfest8.  Thought I could hide a bottle of beer in my anus, but boy was I wrong.  #F8   I can’t lie; this brought a Secret Smile to my face.  You see, I hate authority, especially ...

Phish – Festival 8 10/30-11/01/2009 – Empire Polo Fields: Indio, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Justin A few hours after the sun crept below the beautiful Santa Rosa Mountain range, a thick cloud of smoke hung above the Hunky Dory (named after David Bowie’s classic 1971 record) campground deep inside the Empire Polo Fields.  With no open fires or BBQ’s allowed within the lush campground (declared the nicest out of all 8 campgrounds by Jamtopia.com) it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what was ...
