Desert Daze Warmup

I threw this 3-hour mix together for our 3-hour drive from LAX to Joshua Tree for the 2017 Desert Daze Music festival. Almost all of these bands are performing at the event. A few random songs got thrown in simply becuz I’ve been listening to them lately and they seemed to fit. Many of these bands I’ve never even heard of, so I figured I’d get acquainted with them as we drive through the California desert. If you’re not feeling this mix, it’s because I bought most of this music 2 days ago and I haven’t realized it sucks yet. Or maybe it's just you.
Greenpoint Taco magnates The Calexicans aka The Vendley Brothers vouch for Desert Daze as the nearest thing to the sadly defunct All Tomorrow’s Parties festival - the upstate NY joint where we used to get our yearly collective fix of indie rock and stoner metal. This west coast gathering seems a bit less metal and a lot more psychedelic, but I am intrigued nonetheless. And it’s in Joshua Tree, so how can we lose?
