Bjork Brings it to Coachella
Yesterday was the first day of the three-day mega concert Coachella, held at the Indio Polo Grounds. Who actually plays polo in Indio is anyone’s guess. I personally think they keep the field around just for the fabulous summer music. Bjork was the star of the evening Friday night, singing old and new songs with the accompaniment of an all female brass band deck out in Day-Glo green. She started with “Earth Intruders†a single off her new album “Volta.â€Â They she launched into “Army of Me,†one of my all-time favorite Bjork arias.
All-in-all, everyone in attendance was blown away by her performance. If you haven’t fallen in love yet with Bjork’s unique and timeless voice, now is the time. “Volta†is out there to capture you, and I am only wishing I had been there last night so that I might have been a part of such a marvelous experience. Biased a bit? Perhaps, but come on, any singer with balls enough to parade downstage in a rainbow-colored headdress has got to be either cool or crazy, or both.
