The Cool-Tite Crew was pretty bummed to miss out on last year’s Desert Daze. We knew we had to make it to this year’s fest, so we packed up my dad’s RV and hit the road to Mecca! Take a look at our photos of the fest and camp-out. The dirt boogers and mosquito bites were totally worth it.
Kim & The Created
Kim House rocked our socks off. Even in the hot, desert sun, Kim managed to keep her energy high. Her outfit consisted of black paint across her body that contrasted against her platinum blonde locks. As she roared and leaped and crawled across the stage and into the dirt pit, the crowd was totally feelin’ it. If you haven’t heard Kim and the Created at this point, you better get with the program and catch their next show!
Zig Zags
We didn’t have to go far to keep it going, Zig Zags were up next on the same stage. They kept us head banging our little hearts out. Another favorite of ours at the fest.
Feels
Over on the Jive Joint stage, Feels were keeping the party going.
Beer Garden, Chillin’ & Grindage
DIIV
New York band, DIIV, kept the vibes chill as the sun went down.
L.A. Witch
The sunset and full moon collided when L.A. Witch took the stage. The all female power trio kept us in a desert daze with their psych-rock jams.
Dan Deacon
Warpaint
Warpaint closed out the night for us and they were everything we dreamed they’d be.
Desert Daze was truly magical. Its independent spirit is part of what made it so great. No obnoxious lines or drama, just a chill fest with really cool bands playing in the desert. And the camping part was dope too! Just remember to bring plenty of sun screen and bug spray next year!
