It's almost the time of year when what seems like every band in the world descends into one spot in California. And no, we're not talking about that festival in the desert, we're talking about Fauxchella. Fauxchella (a Spinning Platters term) is the name given to almost three weeks in April when all of the bands set to play Coachella make their way up to San Francisco. Almost every venue in the city is full of great bands night after night, and it can be pretty overwhelming deciding which bands to see. So, we at the Noise Pop Team have made a list of must-sees to help you make the most of your Fauxchella. Tracklist: 1. "Step" -- Vampire Weekend, Modern Vampires of the City
2. "Red Right Hand" -- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Let Love In 3. "Ms" -- Alt J, An Awesome Wave 4. "Dramamine" -- Modest Mouse, This Is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think About 5. "My Number" -- Foals, Holy Fire 6. "Herietta" -- Yeasayer, Fragrant World 7. "Daniel" -- Bat For Lashes, Daniel 8. "Grammy" (Soulja Boy cover) -- Purity Ring, single 9. "House That Heaven Built" -- Japandroids, Celebration Rock 10. "Digital Lion" -- James Blake, Overgrown |

Hope to see you at SXSW Tracklist: 1. “Open” -- Rhye, Open |
