Faithless at Coachella

The second show that really impressed me was Faithless' show in the Sahara dance tent in the early evening. Fronted by the enigmatic Maxi Jazz, Faithless came as a full live band including guitar, bass, drums, percussion and synths. The band started out with a rocked up version of "Insomnia" that drove the crowd into a steaming frenzy. Maxi Jazz led the gig as if it was a religious mass with his arms often spread out reaching out to the sky and making the victory/peace sign. Many of their hits followed such as "God Is A DJ," "Mass Destructions" and "Bombs." Sister Blis looked fierce orchestrating more than 6 keyboards  Darn, this is a really, really good band. Time to put out their new disc in America.
