Desert Daze, sponsored by Vitaminwater, proved to be an epic alternative to the enormity that Coachella has become. It’s the place to ditch the shorty-shorts, slap on some jeans and get ready to kick dust into the desert sky. With such an awesome line up for its first year of existence, I can only see it making Desert Hot Springs, CA as much of a garage-hold name as its neighbor in the east in the coming years.
This past weekend, we rocked out to Bleached, Death Hymn Number 9, Blue Jungle, Dante Vs Zombies, Moving Units, and Allah-Las and have evidence to prove it. Check out all the Desert Daze recaps on Vans.com/coachella
If you missed out on a Coachella pass, use the money to road trip it out to the garage rock oasis. It’s free ($5 donation from the kindness of your heart), and there are still 6 days left of music and good times in Dillon Roadhouse.
Until you decide, you can check all the fun you’ve been missing out on in our desert photo-shoot @ Vans Flickr: Coachella 2012
We had an in store event last night at the Vans in Santa Monica to celebrate the release of No Room For Rockstars on iTunes this week. Christofer Drew from Never Shout Never played a set of requests by the fans who were lucky enough to get in and spent plenty of time hanging out and signing for them. Videos of his acoustic performance coming soon & don’t forget to check out the film.
We hung out with Matt Toka at the Vans Warped Tour Kickoff Party last week where he was performing. You can catch him all summer on the Warped Tour & check out his brand new music video that he told us about above, right here:
