Jack White
"The security guys kept pulling Jack White off of Vampire Weekend lead singer Ezra Koenig, but White kept coming, veins popping, eyes way gone and spiraling, guitar sound set to “pummel,” prowling on the main stage of the 2008 Coachella Valley Art and Music Festival in Indio, California. He absolutely ruined Koenig's pink shorts - and on day one, no less. . . 'Cape Cod my ass,' White seemed to say" [Randall Roberts, LA Weekly]
Richard Ashcroft from the Verve
Sharon Jones
"When Jones started doing her West African ancestor's dance, half of us melted and the other half promised that we'd live betters lives from here on out. Vampire Weekend seemed like a little gnat next to this; maybe they should go whole hog and form a barbershop quartet instead." [Randall Roberts, LA Weekly]
Portishead
