Sometimes one weekend just isn't enough. This year Coachella upped the ante by stacking two weekends full of crazy awesome live performances and endless amounts of booze.

With the first weekend of Coachella in the books already, it might be understandable to think that the music community was going into a four-day hibernation to gear up for Friday. However, Goldenvoice is instead seizing the opportunity of having so many big-name bands sticking around for the week and throwing incredible shows all over the greater L.A. area, including possibly the greatest week of shows Pomona has ever seen. We posted a thorough breakdown of Coachella-related L.A. shows when they were announced last month, and it's even more relevant today. So don't wait until the weekend, Go See A Show! MORE>>

Some good news for those of you unable to partake in either of the two back-to-back Coachella weekends next month. As of Monday, the festival's producer Goldenvoice unveiled a fully-loaded schedule of shows in the L.A. area in the days surrounding the desert music festival. They've deemed the two-week live music extravaganza "Goldenvoice Presents April 2012." Whether you're getting in on Coachella action next month or have opted out this year, if you're into this year's lineup at all, you're probably going to want to take a look at the artists they've scheduled to perform in these supplemental shows since most of them are playing the festival this year.

San Francisco is undoubtedly a beloved American city. Most East Coasters call it their favorite place on the West Coast, and anybody you meet from S.F. will happily fill an hour or two bragging about their favorite sustainable Asian fusion and weed brownie delivery service that "you just couldn't find anywhere else."

We've all had a chance to examine the official lineup for Coachella 2011, and therefore a chance to marvel at how we more or less nailed it with our early predictions.
