I'm From Barcelona Break Coachella Confetti Rules

I'm From Barcelona's first gig in the U.S. was at last year's Lollapalooza, so they seemed well-acclimated to the festival vibe when they took to the Mohave tent on Day Three of Coachella by storming the stage with enough red balloons and confetti to make Wayne Coyne proud. Towards the end of their set, right before launching into their signature 'We're From Barcelona,' ringleader Emmanuel Lundgren handed out a stash of confetti to the front row, who threw it in the air, covering the stage. "I'm addicted to confetti," Emmanuel confessed. "I'm a confetti junkie!"

Backstage after their set, Emmanuel told Spinner that confetti generally isn't allowed at Coachella, and that even Roger Waters had difficulty getting permission to use it. Asked if -- and if so, how -- they got permission, Emmanuel smiled and said, "We did it the punk rock way." It's good to know that punk isn't dead after all. Even in Barcelona.
