Party & Bullshit

Gonna be hard to top day one at Coachella.

It really felt like everything fell into place nicely: the sun was shining, the palm trees were swaying in the breeze, and (of course) the White Claw was going down like that glorious evening sunset. On the music side of things, it was nice to be welcomed into the festival with the smooth pop sounds of Sabrina Carpenter and Teddy Swims, with Central Cee also well worth the shout – ‘BAND4BAND’ went crazy.
