M83 resumed their tour behind their sprawling double album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming by easily selling out two nights at Club Nokia in Los Angeles prior to their departure to Europe for a few months. M83 will return stateside in April for a coveted top slot at Coachella followed by a slew of dates across America. Former M83 touring guitarist and Mellodrone frontman Jonathan Bates opened the show with his electronic pulsating project Big Black Delta propelled by the double drumming assault of Amy Wood and Mahsa Zargaran.

I’m imagining M83 will get a nice nighttime or sunset spot on the Outdoor Theatre at Coachella, and these lights will look excellently extraterrestrial underneath the Indio sky. I’m also wondering if fellow LA transplant Zola Jesus will make it out for “Intro.” I’m surprised she’s not included in this year’s lineup…
