Your sleepless nights of anxiously awaiting an official announcement are over. After a plethora of postponements, swirling rumors and premature prattle, the 2009 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival roster is finally here.

While The Ting Tings were headlining the Wiltern Tuesday night, LAist left the multi-act show being mesmerized by Santogold, the funky lady-pro from Philly who stole the show.

The point of the show is to showcase videos, and music. Pete Wentz throws to videos, a panel of three video experts (including Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes) critiques the video premieres, artists from the premiering video chat with Pete, the studio audience votes on the videos with text messages, AND bands come in to perform live.

What a great night for music in Los Angeles. From The Ting Tings (Tony Pierce's Soundboard write-up) to Matthew Good (about | album review) to The Makers, who we just added to our March Residency Guide. If you're not looking to go out to a show-show tonight, but plan on going out socially, The Makers are fantastically incredible and play every Tuesday night at Seven Grand downtown (Why hasn't KCRW picked up on them yet?). Also, Aussie rockers Old Man River plays one more night in Los Angeles after last night at Spaceland.
