Back in 1999 Moby, trekked to Indio, California, to perform at the first-ever Coachella: "I remember Paul Tollett, who's one of the guys who started Coachella, told me he had this idea of starting a festival in the middle of the desert," he recalls.

Bono found it strange to arrive in Indio, California, and not head straight to Coachella, but the singer has a different mission this year that coincides with the festival. "I was reminded as we arrived here just how magnetic and magic the landscape," he said at Rolling Stone's Rock Room at Coachella. "And it was very difficult, I'll be honest with you, as a lead-singer type to drive by the festival – I just felt like I'd missed something very special, but I missed ... | More »

Young the Giant may not be playing Coachella this year, but that doesn't mean the Irvine, California, rockers can't enjoy the festivities as spectators: "I got a general admission pass, we've been camping and it's really fun; we've met a lot of really, really cool people," bassist Payam Doostzadeh says at Rolling Stone's Rock Room.

Video: Tame Impala Come to Terms With Star Crushes
April 14, 2013 10:30 AM ET
Tame Impala are still a relatively young band, but playing alongside the groups they grew up listening to is nothing new to the Australian psych-rockers. It's still a marvel to catch someone like Portishead from side stage, Dominic Simper says, but backstage everyone keeps their cool: "We know what it's like being a touring musician enough to know they're just humans that sit in their studio and nerd out," the guitarist says at Rolling Stone's Rock Room. "When we first me... | More »

New Order know how to keep busy: They're touring, working on a new album (or possibly a series of EPs) and, as Stephen Morris cracks at Rolling Stone's Rock Room, they're cooking up a plan to open a New Order hotel in Vegas. "We could play by the pool every night," the drummer says, but no gambling or Elton John allowed (if your name is Elvis, though, you're in). Coachella 2013: Rolling Stone's Complete Coverage It wasn't all goofing around though. The band rem... | More »

March 26, 2013 11:50 AM ET
Thurston Moore's new band Chelsea Light Moving stopped by Rolling Stone's Rock Room at SXSW, and gave a blistering performance with some toothy guitar work on "Alighted." The band twists and turns through the sprawling track, shifting from slow burning builds and deliberate breakdowns to relentless downstrokes and a cryptic, crumbling outro.

March 26, 2013 10:35 AM ET
Sonic Youth is on ice for now, but Thurston Moore's new band Chelsea Light Moving proves he hasn't lost his edge. The band took over Rolling Stone's Rock Room at SXSW and tore into "Burroughs" from their debut album, Chelsea Light Moving. Moore roars over the furious track, enveloped by walls of fuzzy distortion, and his necks holds up well through the frantic headbanging.
