Turnstile launched their Friday evening set at Coachella with a special message from singer Brendan Yates’ father, Bill Yates, a week after he underwent emergency surgery following a physical attack by Brendan’s former bandmate Brady Ebert. Ebert is currently being held on attempted murder charges.
Before Yates and his bandmates—Franz Lyons, Daniel Fang, Pat McCrory, and Meg Mills—showed up, Yates’ father appeared on screen and spoke directly to fans:
“I’m Bill Yates, I’m the proud father of Brendan. They’re all sons of mine. They’ve been practicing in the house for about 13 years now. Just recently they vacated the basement. They’re at a point where there larger the venue the better, because they just enjoy the energy. To all the fans out there, we love you and Turnstile loves you and enjoy the ride.”
Turnstile then appeared on stage and went right into “Never Enough,” the title track off their most recent album. Later in the set, Blood Orange came out to perform “Seein’ Stars.” Check out Bill Yates’ message and the performance below, along with a full set list.
