Stagecoach 2014: Susanna Hoffs Talks About Old Songs And New

Perhaps the most likely to act on Stagecoach Country Music Festival last weekend, Susanna Hoffs acknowledges that she does not keep up with the latest sounds of Nashville act. But Bangles singer and guitarist known for such pop MTV -era hits like "Manic Monday" and " Walk Like an Egyptian " has to do with the roots of the music - in his case, the influential mid- '60s folk- rock of the Byrds and Linda Ronstadt singing "Different Drum" with the Stone Poneys .

In 2006 , Hoffs recorded a version of "Different Drum" for the first of a series of album covers he has done with the power- pop veteran Matthew Sweet. And Stagecoach performed the song on a crisp drive show which also included "Hazy Shade of Winter" and Big Star "September Gurls” as well as new versions of some of the biggest hits of the bracelets. After his set, Hoffs, 55, answered questions backstage.

"Manic Monday" and "Eternal Flame" sounded great today - a kind of strange but beautiful, like something by the Velvet Underground.

Velvets were the band I learned in college as part of this wave of information coming to me at the time of my life. It is a very rich moment: You graduated from high school, but you do not have to live in the real world, however; you just get to have four years to make a lot of mistakes and learn a lot of things. I was a theater and dance major at UC Berkeley, and for me it was all about becoming an artist. I went to the music through the Sex Pistols and Patti Smith and Television, and then headed back to the Velvet Underground.


It is remaking his old songs about what is fun to play with them today?


Course. I did this live show " Portlandia " with Fred [ Armisen ] and Carrie [ Brownstein ] a couple of years ago, and I just told them to choose what they wanted me to do and I would. They chose "Manic Monday" and "Sunday Morning" [ by the Velvet Underground ] , so I went to the sound check and had this cool reverb on my amp and started playing this type alternative "Manic Monday" version , and I just started jamming . And I had this idea that just because the song was recorded in a certain way does not mean I have to play is always the case; do not have to live in that box. So when we were rehearsing for Stagecoach, we were playing with it again and it's a little more Rolling Stone - sort of “Honky Tonk Women”.

4 Major Differences Between Stagecoach And Coachella

The differences between the Music Festival and Coachella Valley Music Festival Stagecoach Country are more than just country music acts and indie / hip- hop / electronic dance music.

Is an obvious stage presence. The stars of the country in most cases, just seemed more comfortable in front of large crowds , often thanked the audience and shown more energy on stage.

For example, wind and dust was terrible Friday night headliner Eric Church but powered through about a two-hour performance.

"You mind if I play a couple more songs? They said it was too windy, but they can kiss my (expletive)," he said before repeating.

Compare this with Pharrell Williams simply stopped singing towards the end of its windy and dusty set and pointed the microphone towards the audience to sing instead.

Even the greatest acts of diligence as Wanda Jackson, who at age 76 would not be considered strong, held the crowd in the palm of your hand telling stories about legendary musicians such as Elvis Presley and Jack White.

Coachella wins this by a deserted island. Actually there were no guests at Stagecoach except a hologram of Kelly Clarkson (or other players already in the account diligence as when Florida Georgia Line appeared on stage with Luke Bryan). But Williams won the Super Bowl as Coachella with guest Nelly, Gwen Stefani and Jay Z, Usher and TI the weekend two.

Coachella also triumphs in celebrities. Of guest artists like Jay Z, Beyonce and basically everyone on stage Williams non - artists as actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Sure, Stagecoach collected this year as celebrity couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis was famously in attendance, but it just did not seem Stagecoach had the same star power.

While both festivals 'll see on bikini women and members shirtless Stagecoach find those same looks in cowboy boots , cowboy hats (including cowboy hats made of cartons of beer) and the suit of the American flag and Confederation . Coachella is ... uh ... hmmm ... printed pants, tank tops and people wearing Native American headdresses.



I'm not a fan of the Confederate flag or the people who watch non- American with headdress Native American native, so I guess I can say there are two things I like about both festivals.

Coachella has more than 160 acts, while Stagecoach has much less than 100. There are six stages in Coachella ( Coachella Stage , Outdoor Theatre , Gobi , Mojave , Sahara and Yuma ) , and three stages in Stagecoach ( Mane, Palomino and Mustang ).

There are more than these differences obviously (Stagecoach had 177 total arrests while 80 arrests Coachella had its first weekend), but these are just the ones that come immediately to mind.

Either way you look at, with hundreds of thousands of people out of these facts, it seems that everyone wins in the desert when it comes to music festival months.

INDIO >> The last day of the Stagecoach Country Music Festival featured some of the best weather and even better music performance to close the eighth annual event that all things American is celebrated.

Nashville headliner Luke Bryan did not disappoint headlining Sunday night with songs like " Country Girl ( Shake It For Me) ," "Drunk On You" and " have a beer " , and was able to keep more of fans through a whole thanks to the cool and calm weather. Fellow headliners Eric Church and Jason Aldean, who performed on Friday and Saturday respectively, were not as lucky as they battled strong winds that whipped sand around the festival site.

Byran thanked fans for singing along to “have a beer " and just before performing " tan City" and proclaimed, "You make me feel like spring break StagecoachCome here . "
Warming the crowd before Bryan was Florida Georgia Line, we were actually in the audience for the Bryan group , and could do no wrong in the eyes of the fans of diligence.

From no.1 hits like “cruise " from 2012 to fan favorites like 2013 " here, " the energy never stopped for the young duo of Tyler Hubbard of Georgia and Brian Kelley of Florida.

I See Hawks in LA was the first act of Sunday and played folk songs “Humboldt " and "Good and Tonto time " for the public to touch his toes and nursed their first beers of the day.

Other events which gave strong sets include veteran singer / songwriter John Prine (having famous fans like Bob Dylan and Roger Waters) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame star Wanda Jackson, considered the queen of rockabilly.

Earlier in the day, Charlie Worsham entertained the crowd joking between songs, but seriously playing guitar and banjo solos seamlessly Mane Stage.

Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, the young trio of brothers from New Jersey, showed off his musical prowess on fiddle, banjo and guitar, impressing audiences with performances effort bluegrass song after song on the Mustang stage. The crowd screamed for more, which forced timidly.

Asleep at the Wheel, also in the early stage of Mustang on Sunday, brought a solid and energetic performance was very busy with people dancing with partners and turning around their songs.

Blake Bolster, 27, of Canada said it was difficult for him to pick a highlight for the day, and he enjoyed every performance caught, but said the performance of Bryan stood out because “he has a great presence in the stage.”
