Grimy Goods — discover new music, concerts, culture

Fans can score Jack White presale tickets as early as April 13 at 10 a.m. PST.

From 2 p.m. sweaty chaos to pre-sunset catharsis, these five Coachella acts are bringing the kind of energy we’ve been shouting about for years—here’s exactly when, where, and why to catch them.

Speculation had been brewing ever since Coachella released its official set times, and fans on social media and Reddit noticed that Lambrini Girls had been removed from the schedule.

March 2026 delivered over 80 must-hear indie and alternative tracks. From trailblazers like Fever Ray, Lykke Li, and Kim Gordon to rising stars Lambrini Girls, TwoLips, and Gelli Haha, these releases push the boundaries of modern music. Even Raye’s latest album, a bold fusion of pop and experimental sounds, proves that alternative creativity is thriving.

Jack White was just added to Coachella, performing on Saturday, April 11 at 3pm. That’s the same day Lambrini were scheduled to perform, and the time slot sounds about right. And with Jack, you already know the Lambrini Girls will be there in spirit, as their political views and activism are in sync, especially when it comes to Epstein’s buddy, Donald Trump.

Also: Saul Williams with Carlos Niño, Habibi, Death Valley Girls, Soft Palms, Lightning Bolt, and more.

Up next, The xx head to the US for Coachella, followed by Kilby Block Party in Utah.

Don’t fall for scams and speculative ticket listings. Trust, there’s gonna be plenty out there for this run. Here’s everything you need to know.

It’s all about the indie and alt genres this week, small and unique spaces over corporate-owned venues.

With production from frequent collaborator Lightfoot, “PPL R” finds TwoLips taking on abrasive soundscapes that are so confrontational, you’d think the shockwaves from the track could knock you off your feet.

“And through all those challenges, I have wanted to give up many times over. But honestly, music, whether through my work here or just my everyday life, keeps me going (next to my daughter, of course). And RAYE is serving up a prescription I am happy to fill over and over again, with no side effects except for joy, hope, and a sense of NOT feeling alone.”

“His banter was sharp and clever, and he played challenging bass and guitar parts WHILE SINGING. No tracks, no safety net. He was ripping the main guitar part in ‘Let Me Roll It’ at an age when most people aren’t allowed to drive.”

Throughout the tour, Muse will be supported by Bloc Party and Portugal. The Man on select dates, and The Temper Trap on all shows.

See PawPaw Rod in LA at The Roxy on Sept. 11.

Jungle brings their delicious grooves to both the Crypto.com Arena and the Santa Barbara Bowl this October. Rio Kosta will support.

The new single comes off their upcoming album, BLISS, set for a release sometime this year via V2 Records.

Head In The Clouds releases its lite version this August. The 2-day festival is now a 1-day event with tickets starting at $149.

With ‘Click Clack Symphony,’ RAYE has made her most important artistic leap yet, transforming from pop’s “puppet” into its auteur.

The best shows this week in LA: Paul McCartney, Johnny Marr, Digable Planets, White Reaper, Quetzal, Luz Elena Mendoza, & more

You can see the singer-songwriter in LA at Lodge Room on March 21 and on tour opening for Death Cab For Cutie.

Coming through this week: Esha Tewari, Son Little, Witch Post, Talib Kweli, 1tbsp, Soltera, Peaches, Marissa Nadler, Lala Lala, Enjambre, & more.

Also performing: LCD Soundsystem, Feist, The Rapture, TV Girl, Chromeo, Twin Peaks, Matt and Kim, Girl Tones, and more.

See the singer-songwriter in LA at the Moroccan Lounge on March 20, touring in support of her new album, ‘New Day.’

The project spearheaded by Toby Pazner goes beyond genre classification and anything indicative of what decade it belongs to.

Dubbed ‘Ask That God: Afterlife,’ Luke Steele shared that the show run “feels like a tour of unknowns and possibilities — new visions, new plateaus, fragile breakthroughs. I think things are going to happen on this tour that have never happened before.”

De La Soul and JADAKISS will join The Roots and Nas on select dates.

Celebrity boundaries are back in the headlines — and this time, the conversation hits different. From Chappell to Rihanna and Kesha, all three women reacted differently to paparazzi in Paris.

A highlight of the night came when Eugene dedicated the new album to the creators of the hardcore movement, called for a pit, and was joined by Tom Morello — sending the room into a full mosh pit frenzy.

Jazz rhythms come through the synthesizers like an ancient artifact being resurrected by modern technology. Of course, those rhythms have never gone anywhere close to being extinct. But when paired alongside Meron T’s velvety vocals, the resulting combination feels revelatory.

Melanie will perform her new album ‘HADES’ with a full band, including strings.

Because clearly, four Bruno Mars concerts in Los Angeles are not enough.

From sweaty club nights to arena massives, there’s something for just about every taste: piano-driven alt-rock nostalgia, industrial heavyweights, French house under a bridge, Iranian diaspora dance parties, and more.
