Black Kids drum up audience participation

Black Kids' clappy indie pop and shouty boy girl vocals drew an appreciative audience for their bounding performance in the Mojave tent at the Coachella Festival this afternoon (April 25).

'I Wanna Be Your Limousine' demonstrated potential festival anthem status as the crowd sung back the refrain unprompted.

Single 'I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance Wit You' continued the audience participation, triggering syncronised hand clapping and finger counting in time with the "1,2,3,4" lyrics from the fans at the front.

Later in the afternoon, Dan Deacon played a set of thundering psychedelic instrumentals from in the very heart of the crowd.

Dressed in tie-dye, the newcomer played as sweaty fans moshed around him.
