Optimus Primavera Sound 2012: A Preview
Today’s the day. Optimus Primavera Sound starts in a matter of hours and we’ll be covering it live via our facebook and twitter accounts. Be sure to follow them – if you don’t use such artifacts, you’ll be able to read our full review here on the website later on. To help you choose what to see in the fest, five of our team members who are going there made their picks and chose 3 bands you shouldn’t miss. Who’s that stranger that goes by the initials CB? Yeah, that’s our special guest Chris Brokaw, Codeine’s legendary drummer.
Also, don’t forget to print our timetable, in case you missed it.

Codeine reforms, plays Primavera Sound 2012
The best European festival is back in style: after announcing a second installation in Porto, Portugal in 2012, Primavera Sound has just announced the first acts who will play in both editions. Among them is Codeine, one of the quintessential American indie rock bands of the beginning of the 90s who are reforming – original lineup! – to play a series of selected shows in Europe next Spring and reissuing their back catalog. Guided by Voices (Barcelona only), Jeff Mangum, Yo La Tengo, Björk, Other Lives and Neon Indian are the other bands who’ll play Primavera next year. That’s quite an impressive early lineup, isn’t it?
