The combo will be playing alongside Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine, Bjork, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Arcade Fire at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 29. But if you're not going down then, see 'em tonight, Feb. 2, at Slim's, SF. That excuse about being scared of soaring standup basses ain't gonna fly anymore.
