Submitting what has been described as one of the most memorable sets in Coachella history last weekend, the union of Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize as Nine Inch Noize is expected to again showcase pure spectacle with their second weekend showing.
The ensemble of Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Boys Noize and Mariqueen Maandig Reznor unleashed a mesmerizing performance during the first weekend of Coachella, remixing and reimagining NIN essentials with an electronic music focus - making for a set that translated as purely cinematic in both sight and sound.
Completing the NINoize arc with the second and final performance this weekend for Coachella weekend 2, Reznor has explained how the performance and the accompanying collaborative album bookends the Peel It Back chapter and segues into whats next for Nine Inch Nails.
“The creative fulfillment of working on the Challengers and TRON scores with Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the Peel It Back tour could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live – a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time. The result was so much fun for us we felt it was worth expanding and formalizing in some way.
On a whim I mentioned it would be cool to play a whole set as Nine Inch Noize in the Sahara tent at Coachella. Careful what you wish for…the next thing I knew we were designing a whole new show to present in the way it deserved.
There’s no surprise tour announcement – this Saturday is it. I’m taking Sunday off and excited to be working on new Nine Inch Nails music Monday – I’ll see you when I come up for air.
We recorded this album all over the place – some of it’s live, some in studios, hotels, planes, etc. We had a lot of fun revisiting these songs and hope you enjoy. Listen LOUD.”
Nine Inch Noize performs weekend 2 of Coachella at 8pm inside the Sahara tent on April 18th at 8pm. The collaborative album from Nine Inch Noize is available for pre-order - HERE
