@keshasuxx and @theblacklips to jump in the studio soon.
The Georgia band @theblacklips did not get to play one of those shows. Singer and guitarist Cole Alexander says he and his bandmates were happy to play Coachella, but not about sitting around in L.A. for a week.
"Honestly, we would like to play like while we're in L.A. and DJ, but they told us not to," Alexander says. "So we're like, 'Whatever, we'll just record.'"
Thanks to the Coachella radius clause, they may have even found an unlikely collaborator: when NPR spoke with the band, Ke$ha was there, talking about a potential album. Black Lips' label insists the collaboration hasn't yet actually made it into the studio, but there are plans for the band to record with the L.A.-based singer and rapper. Maybe something did come out of all that sitting around.
