INDIO – Vancouver, British Columbia’s garage, indie and noise rock act Japandroids used the strengths of members Brian King and David Prowse to sound like a high-speed train inside the Gobi Tent Friday at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival despite breaking a guitar string.Guitarist King said he broke his string on the first song played but he tried to turn it into a positive by comparing the potential mishap to getting lucky on a first date.
“When it does happen, it’s pretty sweet,” King toward the audience at the Gobi Tent.
Their energy never stopped with “Young Hearts Spark Fire” off their 2010 album “Post-Nothing” as well as “The Nights of Wine and Roses,” “Younger Us” and “The House That Heaven Built” from 2012’s “Celebration Rock.”
