Major Lazer Coachella

Here are some pictures of Major Lazer blazing the stage of Coachella 2013 weekend 1. There were over one hundred acts at Coachella this year but to me it seemed that people were most excited about seeing House DJ’s. What I now realize is that electronic music has grown so much in culture today that you cannot help but love it. Major Lazer’s creator Diplo who also performed at csun at the last Big Show had the crowd going wild as usual.  You know what you’re getting with a Major Lazer performance. But I’ll have the usual with the dancehall party boys means an overly entertaining  pair of twerkers, human hamster balls and commands for everyone to disrobe. So that’s why we keep coming back for more, and that’s why Major Lazer drew just as big of an overflow crowd at the Mojave tent at Coachella this year. Diplo, Jillionaire and Walshy Fire made me wonder if they really even need an album, because there’s no way they can recreate this spectacle on record. Look, it’s one thing to make the ground bounce at a club when everyone is jumping in unison. But when the thousands of sweaty Coachella goers jumped to “Pon de Floor,” I honestly think the ground outside was actually throbbing. The prospect of us all collapsing into some crazy party sinkhole seemed plausible. I’ve never experienced anything quite like that. Diplo called for the audience to get the biggest “Harlem Shake” of the festival. Obviously, the (mostly shirtless) masses obliged.
