Turnstile Launch Coachella Performance with Brendan Yates’ Father’s Recording
Coachella has officially commenced, featuring standout performances, including that of Sabrina Carpenter and Slayyyter. The festival marked a significant moment for the hardcore band Turnstile, as they took the stage for their first performance since the controversy involving former guitarist Brady Ebert.
Turnstile’s Performance Highlights
Turnstile’s set began with a heartfelt recording from Brendan Yates’ father, Bill Yates. In the video, he expressed pride in his son’s band and the joy they bring to their fans. He emphasized the band’s growth, stating, “They’ve been practicing in the house for about 13 years now.”
Bill Yates continued, “To all the fans out there, we love you and Turnstile loves you and enjoy the ride.” This emotional introduction set the tone for the performance.
Brady Ebert’s Legal Troubles
The performance comes amid serious allegations against Brady Ebert, who was recently charged with attempted murder. He is accused of intentionally striking Bill Yates, Brendan’s father, with his car outside their home. Ebert, who was removed from his new band in February, claims he acted in self-defense.
Musical Tributes and Collaborations
- The set featured guest appearances, including Blood Orange on the track “Seein’ Stars.”
- Turnstile paid tribute to Bo Lueders of Harm’s Way, who passed away recently, displaying his name on an amp.
- The setlist included selections from their acclaimed albums, “Never Enough” and “Glow On.”
Coachella’s Unique Atmosphere
In a lighter moment, a recovery crew member from the Artemis II splashdown was spotted wearing a Turnstile t-shirt during NASA’s livestream. This highlights the band’s influence beyond the music scene.
Coachella continues to be a vibrant platform for artists, showcasing both rising talents and established names in the industry.
