So to prevent myself from wanting to buy lottery tickets, whining uncontrollably or any other irrational behavior due to Coachella's imminent commencement, I've taken solace in the future. You should too, because there are a lot of amazing bands and artists touring after Coachella and potentially coming to a major city near you! Among them are Odd Future, Blonde Redhead, Mountain Goats, Bright Eyes, Archers of Loaf, This Will Destroy You and Julianna Barwick. Some of you will also be lucky enough to catch a few of the supporting acts, like Interpol, Megafaun, M. Ward, Death Cab for Cutie and Okkervil River.
And while you plan out your summer, check out Death Cab's latest single, "Home is a Fire:"
