Of Monsters And Men: King & Lionheart

Please excuse me for a moment...
COOOOOOOAAAAAACCCCCCHHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAA! Coachella! Coachella! Coachella, Coachella, Coachella. Also, COACHELLA! Good god am I stoked! The lineup is CRAZY! Let me lay it out for you (note, these are only the ones that I have heard of and am pumped for, their are likely numerous other fantastic bands that I'm woefully ignorant of). In no particular order:

Phoenix, The XX, The Postal Service, Vampire Weekend, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pretty Lights, The Lumineers, Grizzly Bear, Benny Benassi, Two Door Cinema Club, Franz Ferdinand, 2 Chainz (haha), The Wombats, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, Passion Pit, Tegan and Sara, Band of Horses, Beach House, Metric, Local Natives, The Beatles, Of Monsters and Men, Wolfgang Gartner, (did you even notice what I snuck in there a few back?), Nicky Romero, Dillon Francis, Purity Ring, Youth Lagoon, and even Wu-Tang Clan! Mind blowing! I would go just for Vamps, Phoenix, Postal Service, Two Door, Wombats, Band of Horses, Local Natives...heck, everyone's amazing! 
Heaven's to Betsy Mergatroite I am excited! 

Phew, now that I have that out, Of Monsters And Men--who will flippin' be there!!!!--released the music video for their epic song 'King & Lionheart just two days ago, and it is just as visually stunning and aurally incredible as everything else they do (see 'Little Talks', it's an experience). Check out this great video by an unbelievable band! This is one of those videos that you MUST full screen and change to 1080p. Enjoy! 

If you like your men with a side of bass, and your monsters served with just a hint of synths, here's an EDM remix that really doesn't taint the original too much. Enjoy the free download!

    1. Aww shucks Pops. They very well might be there as holographs!
