To help make your Coachella experience a little better we’re going through some of the lesser known bands on the line up to help you get more familiar with them.

The four piece band known as Wild Flag brings in some of the best female indie rockers. Members of the band include Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney, The Spells, Portlandia), Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Bright Eyes), Mary Timony (Helium, Autoclave)  and Rebecca Cole (The Minders). Their self-titled debut album made it’s way into many “best of” lists for 2011 including Pitchfork and Rollingstone. But when it comes down to it, these girls can rock. Brownstein has always been known for being able to rip a guitar and she proved it when Wild Flag sold out two shows at the Troubadour last year. While they might be one of the opening acts at Coachella they are going to be a good shot of adrenaline to start your day off right. Check out their singles “Romance” above and another favorite of ours “Future Crimes” streaming below. Catch Wild Flag when they perform at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd.
