ARTIST GALLERIES

Just hours before the quartet’s evening performance on Coachella's final day, vocalist/guitarist Scott Paterson and frontwoman Adele Bethel of Glasgow’s upbeat, rough-edged outfit Sons and Daughters dropped by Spin’s desert pad to take in the “palatial” surroundings, and chat with our Peter Gaston.

After a period apart indulging in the proverbial solo projects, Metric reconvened in a Toronto studio earlier this year to being work on the much-anticipated follow up 2005's Live it Out -- and SPIN.com has the first leak: an acoustic rendition of "Give Me Sympathy," as performed by guitarist Jimmy Shaw and vocalist Emily Haines at our Coachella pad.

The Montreal music scene, especially surrounding the Arts & Crafts label, has truly become a family affair. And one of the label's highest fliers joining in on the fun -- Stars.

After a heated Day One performance, Baltimore's resident electro nerd Dan Deacon winds down by lounging on the grass at Spin's desert domicile, exercising his friendly rapport with our Peter Gaston in a lengthy and utterly personal (and hilarious!) video interview.

Before taking the festival stage Friday night (April 25) to rival surfer-cum-musician Jack Johnson's simultaneous set and, um, musical waves, which drummer Joe Bradley jokes could "crash his heart," the rambunctious Southern boys of the Black Lips dropped by to scope out the "front nine" and chat with our Peter Gaston.

Relaxing in the shade at Spin's Coachella pad the day after their performance on the festival's Outdoor Stage, Cameron Bird and Kellie Sutherland of Australia's Architecture in Helsinki take a minute to chat up our Peter Gaston.
