Coachella 2008 Spotlight: Autolux

Autolux
Autolux destroyed the Outdoor Stage at Coachella with a batch of new songs -- turning our 'Turnstile Blues' into Sunday smiles.



Sunday looked empty when compared to the thousands of fans who flooded Coachella for last night's Prince extravaganza, but I wasn't worried. Acts like My Morning Jacket, Swervedriver and Autolux all created blissed-out worlds of rock for fans to get lost in, myself included. I also managed to catch stellar performances from Metric, Spiritualized, Stars, Holy F--- and I'm From Barcelona.



Every year we seem to encounter Hacky Sack crews that just can't seem to give up on the '80s, and then there's these dudes.



Trash bags came in handy on Friday, especially for Les Savy Fav's Tim Harrington, Midnight Juggernauts convinced the crowd that pounding electro-rock anthems can be elevated to new heights, and The Verve made their triumphant return after nine years.



The Field has canceled most of its spring tour dates, including Sunday's Coachella performance.
