One of the most appealing things about Annie Hardy is her dry sense of humor and refreshing honesty, however if she doesnt like going out to the desert I wonder why she accepted the invite to play Coachella?

In December of 2005 the Colorado Springs Indy asked her if she was looking forward to playing the fest in the desert.  While typically that would create the perfect opportunity to blow smoke up their ass, Hardy spoke what could only be seen as honestly

Indy: You're playing Coachella in 2006. How are you feeling about that?

AH: I don't know. I never liked going to it. I hope playing it isn't as bad as going to it. I'm not a big fan of festivals because there's so much going on at once and it's so hot. I can't handle it.

That's quite different than what she told NME earlier this year.

"We are super excited to play Coachella this year," she said. "I love that there are so many different bands that you can see in one place. There's nothing like it over here."

Perhaps she's had a spiritual awakening. Take a gander at what she wrote on their website at GiantDrag.com last month about the festival:

"We are so excited about coachella that we are prepared to eat the entire contents of a porto-potty through a crazy straw and then mosh our asses off to Tool! "

mmmm delish! make sure to stock up on crazy straws on Sunday.
