INDIO, CA— In a move that stunned exactly no one who had been following the band’s cryptic social media posts, indie rock outfit Geese made their Coachella debut Saturday. The band treated the desert crowd to an unexpected rendition of their 2021 cover of Justin Bieber’s smash hit “Baby.” This performance marked the first time the band had played the song live. Geese wove the iconic chorus into their own track “2122.” The move was met with a mixture of confusion and mild enthusiasm. Many attendees were simply trying to find shade. The full Geese Coachella experience was later documented on TikTok.
A Feathered Frenzy
Sources confirmed that pop singer Sabrina Carpenter was present and cheering. Carpenter offered a thumbs-up to the band. “It was definitely a choice,” said festival-goer Brenda Plotkin. Plotkin is the self-appointed president of the Coachella Water Bottle Refill Station Enthusiasts Club. “I thought they were going to play their own stuff,” she added. “But then I heard the ‘you know you love me’ part. It was… something.” Geese’s bold Coachella move surprised many.
The Flock’s Future
Band members declined to comment on the specific artistic merit of their 3D Country album. They did, however, express satisfaction with their Coachella performance. “We wanted to make a statement,” said Geese’s lead honker, Cameron Winter. “And we did. This statement is ‘Baby, baby, baby, oh.'” Geese’s performance will likely be remembered. It was a true moment for the band. The future of their Justin Bieber cover remains uncertain. At press time, Geese had announced a new tour. Dates include several local park duck ponds.
