Their addition to Friday's Current 89.3 anniversary bash as Cloud Cult's replacement isn't the only gig on the books for Trampled by Turtles: The Duluth-reared string pickers also landed a slot alongside Kanye West, Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire on the newly announced lineup for the 2011 Coachella Music Festival, happening April 15-17. What a terrific start to the year for the Turtles, who also sold out two shows at First Ave last weekend.

TBT isn't the only locally rooted band who will be at the trend-setting fest, either. All-star electro-smoothies Gayngs are also headed to Coachella, which should hopefully make up for their unfortunate cancellation at the Austin City Limits Festival in October.

The other big names on the Coachella '11 roster include: The Strokes, Animal Collective, Mumford & Sons, the Black Keys, Chemical Brothers, a reunited Death From Above 1979, Erykah Badu, Interpol, Bright Eyes, the National, PJ Harvey, Robyn, plus a couple of huh?!-inducing oldies acts, Duran Duran and Big Audio Dynamite. Also on the bill is Lauryn Hill, who absolutely blew me away with her positive-minded and positively forceful set last night at First Ave. If she's even half as terrific, the ex-Fugees star might be able to wholly reignite her career off the fest.
