I Had No Idea Who These Coachella Artists Were

FUSE TV - I Had No Idea Who These Coachella Artists Were

Full disclosure: I probably should have known about a couple of these melody makers long before this weekend. But hey, it was just the other day that I was chatting with a buddy of mine who fancies himself a fan of fine art, and he had no idea who Basquiat was. There's holes in everyone's mental enyclo(wiki?)pedias, right?

So in preparation for appearances by a slew of artists slated to pass through the Fuse House in Coachella Valley, I expected to learn a thing or two about the current state of sonic storytelling in 2015. What I got was, thankfully, even more impactful than a minor update on the state of the industry.
