Win Butler, Ron Jeremy, Sonic Youth, Ratatat and Brazilian Girls—Downtime Photos from Coachella

posted by on May 4 at 20:07 PM

Last week’s Coachella Valley Music Festival is a distant, confused memory, but there are some pretty cool souvenirs that music fans, even those who that didn’t make it to the festival, might like. There are these photos from this festival of musicians and famous people with a weird ceramic doll. They were taken by a manic but kindly photographer on a bike named Biff, who, I guess, wandered up to musicians and porn stars…and asked them to pose. And almost universally, they were happy to do so. Here are two great photos, there are more at the official site: in the category of horror, there is Ron Jeremy holding a tiny doll while waiting backstage at a Peaches show, and in the category of rock documentary, there is Arcade Fire singer Win Butler, exhausted, in his van, posing for a man who has asked him to pose repeatedly over the course of a long weekend.

This is Biff who found & named "Coachee". Thanks for the story but I wanted to make some minor corrections, Ron Jeremy was at the Amy Whinehouse Tent when I met him, although I did see him at The Peaches. Also Win Butler I only had to ask once, and I got a pic originally with him in 2003 and he accepted the first time then also. I always respect if someone doesn't want to take a pic with him, I don't push myself too much on to them, just wanted to make that clear. Thanks Again!
