Who: Dirty Projectors at the Mojave Tent
In 3 or Fewer Words: BYO dance moves.
I’ll Remember This For a Few Months Because: I never realized people could sing along to Dirty Projectors. Yes, there was that in the comfortable but crowded Mojave Tent, and there was also a lot of really gnarly body-shaking, because, after all, what dance moves do you bust out for “Bitte Orca” and all its obstreperous beats and time signatures? You’d think avant-pop is the new disco; maybe it is, Coachella being the second recent high-profile gig for Dirty Projectors in southern California. “The last time we were here, we were at Disney Hall in Los Angeles, which was sweet,” frontman Dave Longstreth said. “But this is really sweet.”
What I’d Tell a Friend Who Was at Corinne Bailey Rae: Y’know, you probably made a good choice too.
