My Bloody Valentine
The shoegaze pioneers will make the desert go deaf when they take arguably the most overdue victory lap for a classic album into Indio. Nearly two decades after the release of Loveless, the shockwaves of the groundbreaking record are felt stronger than ever before, drawing legions of devotees to revel in the noisy, euphoric brilliance of their guitar attack.  My Bloody Valentine is set to convince the Coachella audience that distortion itself is an art by engulfing them with their beautiful torrents of sound.  After surviving the band’s sonic assault—that shook lightbulbs free from the rafters at last falls Santa Monica shows—no one ever quite listens to music the same way again (literally).
