LA Based Filmmaker Michael Cuenca Campaigns for Upcoming Epic Film

"Am I happy with where I am at right now? Where do we go from here? Where do I go from here?" Underground filmmaker Michael Cuenca looks to take on these questions and dilemmas in his third feature film "I'll Be Around." Set in present time, the film follows the lives of different artists striving to reach their goals, while grappling with the question "when is enough, enough?" Set in a post-punk music festival, the various players' paths cross and intertwine, as they look forward to what might be the best day of their lives, or quite possibly the worst.

Although a fictional story, I'll Be Around demonstrates the ever-present themes of angst and existentialism that are common as one ages. I'll Be Around puts you in the artist's perspective, as unfortunate and wild events unfold, facing either the fleeting possibility of greatness, or simply calling it quits.

[Above, musician and filmmaker Michael Cuenca.]

An L.A. area musician himself, filmmaker Michael Cuenca has put together a cast of fellow performers, who not only get to act, but speak their truths, aiming to portray the anguish, struggles, fears and hopes of all sorts of artists—a testament to the burden of a talent that reaches only limited success on the backdrop of trial and error.

Interest in the film has been favorable as their campaign on seedandspark.com almost completely reaches its funding goal. Intrigue for the film has already piqued the interest of artists such as Tim Armstrong, singer/guitarist of the band Rancid, and otherwise known member of The Transplants. Other surprise guests are set to make a few cameos in what should be an honest, fun, and possibly heartbreaking comedic drama.

I'll Be Around, but will you? Michael Cuenca's film relies heavily on crowd following and crowd funding. This short film provides incentives such as contests and raffles to win exclusives prizes, as well as the possibility of being featured in the film. For more information on how to support the campaign, go to https://www.seedandspark.com/fund/illbearound#story. With your help, I'll Be Around shall be around sooner than later.

Taste Of Chaos 2016 - The Recap

Saturday July 16th, was the re-birth to a generation.  Taste of Chaos and Rockstar Energy drink delivered on what was an evet to remember.  From the location, the staff, and the line-up, it was nothing short of a great time.  With headlining acts such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday such an experience should have been expected.  The Taste of Chaos brand however, didn't stop there and gave us amazing performers such as Quicksand, The Get Up Kids, The Starting Line, Saosin (with Anthony Green), Senses Fail, and the Early November to name a few.  

                         [Cory Wells- Battle of the bands Winner]

From the very start of the Taste of Chaos music festival, it seemed there was a standard and a precedent.  Cory Wells, a California local, opened the show.  Being the winner of Slide Bar's Battle of the Bands, he made it clear why HE had been chosen even as a mere solo act.  Followed by him were veterans of the scene Reggie and The Full Effect which reminded us both why they were so great, and how they have influenced the music scene to this day.  Other classic acts followed such as Hot Rod Circuit which further made the audience realized why we had all come to experience such an amazing spectacle.  The Early November took the generation to a place of nostalgia and comfort with their performance and such grace as they thanked the crowd for their participation and the driving force for their success.  

                                                 [Senses Fail]

The Taste of Chaos festival gave us ample space and time to enjoy the event.  Senses Fail had no dull moments playing the tracks that made us head-bob and move to the tune of our high school playlist.  Saosin, being one of the standouts, came out with raging force and adrenaline and reminded us just how important the return of Mr. Anthony Green is and was to the band. The Audience both reminisced and marveled as they played both tracks of years before, and songs from their latest record, Along the Shadow.

                                   [Taking back Sunday]

Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, being the headliners that they were, did not disappoint.  Taking Back Sunday stormed the stage with renewed energy sporting their full "Tell All Your Friends" cast and showed us all why they have survived through so many years.  From opening to track such as Cute Without the E, and closing with a musical gem such as MakeDamnSure, the audience never had a chance to look away.  Dashboard Confessional closed the night reminded why virtually every single opening and supporting act had given them so much praise.  Dashboard Confessional and Mr. Chris Carraba displayed their natural ease of musicianship and poise as they closed the night with a lullaby of audience voices as well as their own.  

The event left the audience not only pleased but at the same time looking ahead to what Taste of Chaos will bring for years to come. LiveByMusic enjoyed the time spent and invested in the event, and we all look forward to what is yet to come...

Major Attractions: Dashboard Confesssional, Taking Back Sunday, Quicksand, Saosin (with Anthony Green) , The Get Up Kids, The Starting Line, Senses Fail, The Early November

Tickets and VIP packages still on sale

In its' 2nd year of re-establishing itself, the Taste of Chaos music festival looks to once again bring together a plethora of great artists, and in doing so bringing together a generation.  Taste of Chaos 2015 brought us the re-emergence of the festival we grew to love and set the bar very high for a follow-up featuring the likes of The Used, Thrice, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional and many more.  Rockstar Energy did not disappoint in its' announcement of 2016's lineup that once again features Dashboard Confessional.  The Festival will also be featuring Taking Back Sunday, a Long Island, NY based band that broke the emo/alternative scene with their Tell All Your Friends album released in 2002.  Taking Back Sunday features their original member line-up from such album and will not disappoint.  

Another standout (out of many) at Taste of Chaos is/will be Saosin, a Southern California sensation.  Saosin burst out onto the scene with their EP "Translating the Name" (2003)  featuring original vocalist Anthony Green.  Despite the praise and momentum Saosin seemed to have, Anthony Green parted ways with the band in February 2004.  Saosin would go on to write several albums without Mr. Green, but 2016 brought us a special announcement.  Anthony Green and Saosin are back on the map.  May 2016 Saosin released the album "Along the Shadow", featuring once-again frontman, Anthony Green.  

Tickets for the Rockstar Energy Taste of Chaos Festival are General Admission and are still available for purchase on www.festival.tasteofchaos.com .

Woogie Weekend 101

  We are now just hours away from the inaugural Woogie Weekend when one of the most adorned and iconic stages of the lightening in a bottle festival will step into its very own light as a full-fledged festival.  As the Woogie Stage, now all grown up, returns to its old stomping ground at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, CA , it will undoubtedly encounter a whole new generation of eager fresh fans.  We reached out to Dede Flemming, Co-Founder of Do LaB/Lightning in a Bottle/Woogie Weekend with a few Woogie 101 backstory questions to familiarize and excite the new or novice Woogier about the weekend that awaits them.

Where does the name Woogie come from?

At the first LIB in 2006 we had a stage we named the Woogie and a stage named Woogaloogie.  Obviously only one of them stuck.  ☺    Josh, one of the founders and the creative director, names all of his structures with goofie names and they happened to be the names of the structures he designed that year.  

What does it mean to the festival?

It’s a stage but also an attitude and experience that’s felt by the people that spend so much time there.

From the various stages at LIB, what was extra special about the Woogie stage that it was chosen to branch out to its own festival?

Both the Woogie and Bamboo (now Thunder Stage) at LIB have a following and an identity mostly surrounding the genre of music they host.  The Woogie, however, seems to have developed a cult following over the years and people really identify with it so we thought it would be fun to turn it into it’s own event.

 Why was Oak Canyon Park chosen for the Woogie Weekend? Is there a connection to the artist style of music of the Woogie stage and the southern CA fan base?

 Oak Canyon has always been one of our favorite venues and when we learned we had the opportunity to come back here we immediately thought it would be a great place for Woogie Weekend.  It has the trees, the pond, great camping and beautiful lush grass to dance on and goes hand in hand with the Woogie vibe.  It’s also super close to LA and all of Southern California which makes it easy for people to come and enjoy it.

What familiar elements of the LIB festival can we expect at Woogie Weekend?

The awesome people, custom stages and great music you may have not discovered yet. Dough LaB Pizza and some morning yoga to start your day off right.

 With so many festivals to choose from these days, how will Woogie Weekend stand out not only from its parent festival LIB but especially other electronic music festivals?

 Woogie Weekend is it’s own thing but it will have the production value and love that the Do LaB puts into all of their shows.  As for how it’s different you’ll have to check back in after the festivals over.  ☺

What would you say is the best way to enjoy this festival?

As always, it’s with an open mind and an open heart.  Let the experience take you away.  

By the way, Tickets are still available Here

LbM @ LIB, a Wonderer’s Guide to Lightning in a Bottle

This last Memorial Day weekend, while many people were taking a break from reality, thousands of people arrived in Bradley, CA to augment their reality in a positive direction by attending the sold out lightning in a bottle festival.  Lighting in a bottle (or LIB) is a transformational music festival that engulfs its participants into a community of artists, musicians, dramatic performance, as well as yoga, wellness, spiritual and healthy living demonstrations.  How did this get started?  Dede Fleming, one of the founding members of the do lab told LivebyMusic: 

 “The first LIB was a birthday party for brothers Jesse and Josh Flemming in 2000.  For years we were always entertaining, decorating or throwing parties so this was no different.  It was a popular party with a lot of like-minded friends that grew every year.  In 2004 we decided to make it a larger event with more art, performers and music and decided to charge a fee.  From there it evolved into a much larger event.   With that we growth we decided that we wanted more than just a party for people but something with intention and meaning and a place where people could come explore a side of them they didn’t know existed yet and be exposed to things they’ve never seen before."  

 As first timers we had to ask how to tackle this massive gathering and get the most out of it...  Dede went on:

''As a first timer I would say that you have to shake off whatever preconceived ideas you have of LIB and what your experience “should” be and just let go and let yourself get lost.  Don’t try and follow a schedule and just go where the wind blows.  Oh and wear comfy shoes and stay hydrated."  

With that said I threw all (well ok most) of my plans and expectations away and became a lighting wanderer.  I discovered communities within themed communities. 

                                     (AtYya at the Thunder Stage)

 At every turn it seemed to be a completely different world.  From the big name headliners at the Lightning Stage to electro-bluegrass/swing at the Grand Artique stage, I found something for every music pallet. The thunder stage and the Woogie was the spot to dance, dance, dance with musical acts like Cashmere Cats, AtYya, Pantyraid and Shall Ocin.  

                                                  ( Yoga Om)

Wandering through the various communities I saw experiences that brought deep connection to the festival goers in places like 'the Village', designed to be “a cultural experiment exploring the meaning of village life”.  Also ‘Yoga Om’ and ‘Namaste Yoga’ which with “master yogis meditation and dance expert(s) [brought] a spectrum of teaching for every experience level and taste.”

For myself, some of my choice points of LIB were the Charleston and tap routines I stumbled across at High Love Elixir and the night time Fire Arts Flow Zone, and of course the hilarious Do Over clowns.  I have to say though, I constantly saw myself gravitating toward the Lightning Stage where I found my favorite acts of the festival.

See our Top 4 Acts at LIB 2016  [HERE]

                                               (Lightning Stage)

As I drove down the coast I meditated on the experience I had at Lighting in a Bottle.  I’ve heard that LIB is a transformational festival.  That I would be different when I left.  For me this wasn’t the case.  I couldn’t have been more me, in fact I had the strongest sense of 'me', of self then I think I’ve ever had.  I may not have changed per say, but I did learn a lot about who I am as a person.  That was the lighting that I caught, that’s what I took home with me in my personal bottle.

Top 4 LbM Favorites at Lightning in a Bottle 2016

 Truth be told this list is is just a small sliver of the amazing talent at LIB 2016.  Throughout the festival though I constantly saw myself gravitating toward the Lightning Stage where I found my personal favorite acts of the festival.

Lafa Taylor  

“Criss-crossing the intersection of intelligent Hip Hop, R&B, and Electronic Dance Music, Lafa Taylor is a colorful West Coast based singer, rapper, and producer. Lafa’s gritty, sexy, bass heavy beats confidently blur boundaries and captivate listeners with diverse musical tastes. His collage of tasteful multi tempo music, keeps people dancing and engaged. With a vocal style that ranges from smooth melodies to tongue twisting rhymes, Lafa’s music carries a message of inspiration while staying relatable and realistic”.  lafataylor.com/bio/

Nahko and Medicine for the People 

  Crowds gather like metal to a magnet to the positive vibes bursting forth from  Nahko and Medicine for the People

"Established as a non-profit organization in the winter of 2008, Big Island- and Portland-based Medicine for the People travel near and far using music as their vehicle to foster self-action and healing. Their lyrics and activities make it clear that at the center of their mission lies the belief that the power of inclusion will always overshadow the walled-boundaries of exclusion. It should thus come as no surprise that their songs and performances draw you in with supreme force and magnetic charm." -  reverbnation.com/medicineforthepeople

Chet faker

There’s little need for introduction to the sought after shows of Chet Faker.

  "An artist of considerable range, Chet Faker — the name taken by Melbourne-raised, Brooklyn-based Nick Murphy — writes, performs and records all of his own music, giving it a warm, intimate feel with a solid groove structure. His critically acclaimed, debut full length album Built On Glass was released on Future Classic / Downtown in April 2014. The album was the highly anticipated follow up to his 2012 EP Thinking in Textures and Lockjaw, his 3-song EP with fellow Australian producer Flume, released in late-2013.

Chet Faker recently won five ARIA Awards including Best Male Artist, Producer of the Year, and Best Independent Album. He also took the #1 spot on the triple j Hottest 100, and the critics from The Guardian (UK) named him one of their "artists to watch" in 2015, among other accolades-.chetfaker.com/about

Lastly is my absolute favorite of the entire festival:

Ibeyi

 "is a French-Cuban musical duo consisting of twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz.[1] The duo sings in English and Yoruba,[2] — a Nigerian language their ancestors spoke before being brought to Cuba by the Spanish to be made slaves in the 1700s — though Lisa's is the lead voice,[3] Naomi plays traditional Spanish/Cuban percussion instruments cajón and Batá drum, while Lisa also plays piano.[4]

In the Yoruba language, Ibeyi (Ìbejì) translates as "twins".

Their music has elements of Yoruba, French and Afro-Cuban, and fuses jazz with beats, samples with traditional instruments.[5]  - wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibeyi

5 tips to first timers

Tackling a new festival can be a challenge.  After LbM’s inaugural go at LIB we thought it prudent to share a few points that would have made our lives and your next LIB even better.  

Upgrade to the Camp with your Car Pass   

Yes for many of us on a budget this may seem like a frivolous use of already limited monetary resources, after all who really needs their car next to them when not being used right?  Sounds like solid reasoning, which is why I didn’t buy the pass, but then came multiple trips of hiking to the tram, loading my gear, then trekking to find my camping spot.  This isn’t so bad on arrival, with excitement of the festival beginnings building, but packing out… not fun. Yes the trams are efficient, the parking staff super helpful, but trust me, the pass is worth it.

Showers at Oasis

After a hot day dancing in the sun, nothing bests freshening up at the Oasis spa with an invigorating shower.  The showers include peppermint soap, which by the way if you’ve never bathed in a mint based soap it leaves you feeling fresh and cool long after your shower is done.  The only issues is that you’re joined alongside the other few hundred festival goers who had the same idea.  Thankfully the oasis staff is kind and patient, but on our first trip to the spa (about 9 am) we waited an hour for a shower… yikes!  Similar lines formed late afternoon, presumably people prepping for a long night of activity.   Like all things in life though, this was remedied with a little planning.  We took our showers just about 9 pm when it was only about a 15 minute wait.

 Relax & Wander

On the advice of do Lab's Dede Fleming I did my best to ignore setting a schedule.   Of course I had my must see’s which I was sure to make time for, outside of that I put my map away in my tent and became a bottle wanderer, exploring without expectation or predetermined preference, to discover what my individual lightning I would capture.  It was amazing.  Each new experience was unfamiliar, each corner was new and exciting.

  Exiting the Festival  

  Exit traffic is bad, if you must leave promptly, leave early on the last day, not 8 am, but 6 am or earlier.  Now as this is our first presence at LIB I can’t pretend to know if this is the norm or a frustrating set of new circumstances, but with many thousands of people all leaving at the same and just one main road in or out, the logistics of moving all these people in an orderly fashion is mind boggling and delays are naturally to be expected.  It actually took several hours to leave the festival grounds.  Planning is again essential here.  It would be wise if you can’t leave in the early hours, to know in advance you may be their while.  Maybe find a shady place to hunker down, have a picnic and chill out while everyone else competes for positions toward the exit gates. Or even better, why not check out the closing ceremonies?

Wear comfortable shoes

This should go without saying but somehow is regularly overlooked.  You will be walking, scratch that hiking up and down through a dry lake bed.  You’ll no doubt leave LIB with Buns of Steele, but what good are they if you can’t walk or even stand to show them off?

 Yes LIB is an amazing experience, one you wont forget!   But there are a few key preps that will drastically enhance your Lightning experience.

This week’s feedback Friday brings us music rooted from the Sonora desert of Hermosillo, MX with the Mud Howlers.   We had the chance to check them out a while back when they made a stop here in LA and are very excited to share them with you all.

“The Mud Howlers embody power, soul and innovation: creating thus an atypical rock n roll band that will bring extreme pleasure to your senses. Three talented dudes make up the Howlers. Jamming the guitar in bluesy, muddy, and potent strokes, along with powerful vocals, comes Nathan. Then with masterful skills on the drums comes Charly, exploding with flawless speed and accuracy. Last but not least, we have Norberto, who completes the band with tasteful, creative and catchy keyboard tunes. When these 3 guys get together with their gear, there’s sure to be unique and electrifying sounds making your mind explode”.  - themudhowlers.bandpage.com/

LivebyMusic at Lightning in a Bottle

Its finally here, Lightning in a Bottle.  We've waited so very long for this immersive weekend, and now its time to make the most of it!   This is our (LivebyMusic's) first go round attending the Lightning in a Bottle festival.  We, like many, want to fit the fullest LIB experience into a few short days.  We reached out to Dede Flemming, one of the founding members of the Do Lab (the amazing production company that assembles all the pieces of the puzzle to build the LIB community), with a few questions to prep ourselves for our inaugural journey to this now iconic festival.

Who's or what inspired the original LIB and how has the event evolved to date? 

The first LIB was a birthday party for brothers Jesse and Josh Flemming in 2000.  For years we were always entertaining, decorating or throwing parties so this was no different.  It was a popular party with a lot of like-minded friends that grew every year.  In 2004 we decided to make it a larger event with more art, performers and music and decided to charge a fee.  From there it evolved into a much larger event.   With that we growth we decided that we wanted more than just a party for people but something with intention and meaning and a place where people could come explore a side of them they didn’t know existed yet and be exposed to things they’ve never seen before.

What benefit does the location in Bradley bring to the overall experience? 

Bradley and Lake San Antonio have proven to be an amazing place to host LIB.  It exactly what we want in a location (minus the empty lake) as its secluded and completely in nature.  re getting out of their comfort zone and routine to experience this with us and that really adds what people get out of it.  

 As a first timer, what are the must do's at lightning in a bottle? 

As a first timer I would say that you have to shake off whatever preconceived ideas you have of LIB and what your experience “should” be and just let go and let yourself get lost.  Don’t try and follow a schedule and just go where the wind blows.  Oh and wear comfy shoes and stay hydrated. 

As a founder, and long time participant, what are your favorite aspects of the festival? 

My favorite aspect of the event over the years has been and continues to be watching the community that comes out of LIB grow. Whether it’s the people that work here and put it on or the participants that come experience LIB you can see and feel a sense of togetherness.

What do want or hope people walking away from LIB for the first time are thinking, feeling or have had experienced? 

I want them to leave confused, in awe and have a goofy grin on their  t seem to get rid of.  I want them to have made new friends and found a little spark of inspiration that challenges them to go after who they really are in this world.

FF002 Transports Guests into the Further Future

(Photo by Rusty Felbob)

Two members of the LivebyMusic crew recently stepped away, just for a weekend, from our current existence and into the Further Future.  FF002, (a hashtag highly recommended exploring) has become for us a term of endearment for the experience that was this this years Further Future Festival. 

"Moving beyond the confines of a traditional music festival, Further Future establishes a modern means of social movement and cultural change, engaging a conscious community through a unique curation of world-class musicians and art, alongside inspiring leaders in the areas of science, entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology."   --http://www.furtherfuture.com/ff002#/what-is-further-future/

Resting against a backdrop of mysterious desert wilderness on the Moapa River Indian Reservation near Las Vegas, Nevada, FF002 transported the hearts and minds of nearly 4,500 futurists on their own journeys into the potentials of our futures.  With accommodations ranging from car camping to  futuristic pod-style tents and even luxurious trailers, persons from all walks of life harmoniously co-mingled enjoying FF002's 24-hour programming of mental and aural stimulation from Friday to Monday. Thought-provoking panels engaged listeners with discussions led by prominent speakers including Google/Alphabet Inc. Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, iHeartMedia CEO Bob Pittman, and cannabis entrepreneur Jane West, each touching on the future of innovation in their respective field.

 While the Ablyss Spa, an open-air oasis, pampered guests with rejuvenating treatments,  a first-rate wellness program added sunset yoga, parkour lessons, and talks.  Other guests of this future found themselves dining on intimate dinners with world-renowned chefs including Frank Gorriceta (Nobu), Jason Neroni (The Rose), and Michael Bryant (The Larchmont).

Of course as avid music fans, the LBM's crew made our way in direct route to FF002's several music hubs, absolutely falling in love with the flagship stage, the Mothership.  A mad max-esk arena of ship containers and empty pallets surrounding a stage featuring iconic performances ranging from Caribou to the legendary hip hop crew the Pharcyde, and UK electronica legends Leftfield.  In other stage destinations EDM beats kept futurists dancing 24-7.

While an untimely series of storms did make navigating the muddy grounds difficult at times, the intensity of mother natures fury only added to the beauty and power of the landscape and the comradery of the community of futurists as a whole.  Frankly we wouldn’t have changed that aspect of the experience even if we could.  The LBM crew left this festival with feelings of inspiration, hope and well being.  A simple neon sign resting in the background near the Robot Heart stage uttered not only our hopes but our logical conclusion of the Future for the Further Future festival " This is just the beginning."

The Big Fish Returns -- Coachella’s Technicolor Do LaB Stage Reveals Brilliant 2016 Weekend Lineups

  What happens when 12 years of imagination, creativity, taste-making and ingenuity collide? Los Angeles-based music and event production maestros, Do LaB, announce their masterfully-curated and vivacious 2016 musical lineup for the most exuberant stage at Coachella, “Big Fish”. Known for its vibrant embrace and penchant for splishing and splashing fans by way of strategically-placed misters and flower-adorned super soakers, Do LaB has guaranteed that anyone who enters Big Fish walks into one hell of a non-stop party. The wettest and wildest corner of Coachella reigns supreme as the premiere hotspot for internationally-acclaimed electronic acts, discovering the grooviest and grimiest of the underground, and innovative production.

Each weekend of Coachella will boast a unique and fantastically eclectic lineup at the Do LaB Stage -- a characteristic distinct from other Coachella stages. Among the artists playing Weekend 1 are Foreign Family Collective’s Big Wild, Canadian indie-electro pop duo HUMANS, Washington DC-based downtempo beat-weaver Imagined Herbal Flows, godfather of experimental bass Paper Diamond, pioneer of the TWONK movement, LA-based Brillz, gritty g-house, dubstep, trap hybrid producer/DJ Ghastly, Australian house music maven Dena Amy, hip-hop-dubstep-trap counterculturalist Stylust Beats, producer of euphoric future bass and pixelated funk Wave Racer, techno underground master Lee Foss, plus MartyParty and Ooah (The Glitch Mob) who reunite once again as PANTYRAID.

Weekend 2 unlocks a kaleidoscope of beats as Do LaB matches the caliber of Weekend 1’s soundscape with an entirely new selection of artists. Dirtybird favorites will flock to the warm desert of Indio over Weekend 2 as the famed Northern California label showcases two of its latest headliners - Berlin’s booty shaker and soul music maker Sacha Robotti and the wickedly wry Ardalan whose mixes exude both sass and energy. Also making strong appearances on Weekend 2’s bill are Soulection’s youthful prodigy Sam Gellaitry, Brisbane electronic duo Cut Snake, enthralling Parisian hip-hop/soul future bass blender STWO, soulful Chicago electronica trio Autograf, “Rebel Bass”  purveyors and English DJ production duo Stanton Warriors, house/indie-electro duo made up of Candle Weather and Manila Killa Hotel Garuda, drum and bass fusion electronic musician and Do LaB festival staple Kraddy, and West Coast mixer of glitch-a-delic soul whomp and live beatboxer Nico Luminous, musically-diverse instrumentalist and electronic producer NU,  Brooklyn-based DJ/producer nomads Bedouin who will bring a comprehensive mix of Middle Eastern and Western sounds -- plus surprise Special Guests who will magically materialize both weekends. 2015 brought surprise sets from Chet Faker and Bonobo, who united under Big Fish for an epic b2b set. See full lineups below for Weekends 1 & 2!

In 2015, Rolling Stone named Do LaB’s Big Fish stage as the “Best Dance Floor” at Coachella. Considering the plethora of ways to cool off, the wide variety of elevated platforms and surfaces to maniacally dance upon, creative lighting production, vividly colored awnings complete with aerial performers, and carefree vibes found within the Do LaB’s man-made oasis...it’s not hard to see why.

Stop over at the Do LaB stage with an open mind and an open heart and you can likely expect to leave with friends that become family and strangers who become friends, all while having the time of your life -- that is, if you manage to leave the Do LaB stage at all. For a quick tease, take a quick dip in the action with Do LaB’s Coachella 2015 Weekend 1 Recap video.
