On-again-off-again Bauhaus spin-off Love and Rockets (still a staple on L.A, modern rock stations) closed the outdoor theater stage on Sunday, ending just before Roger Waters took the main stage a few hundred yards away. A light, glammy antidote to Bauhaus' doom and gloom (they played Coachella in '05), L&R looked and sounded young and fit in their hourlong performance. Singers Daniel Ash and David J. could pass for 30 (at least far away) and the trio sounded like they were having a lot of nostalgic fun, playing late '80s and early '90s tracks like "Haunted When the Minutes Drag," "No New Tale to Tell" and "An American Dream."

I didn't hear them play their smash hit "So Alive," but I was in a hurry to check out Waters.

Love and Rockets dedicated "Holiday on the Moon" (with its lyric "I couldn't really say that I wish you were here") to Waters, who was setting up at the main stage across the field. In the interest of not playing favorites, the next tune, the Jesus and Mary Chain-soundalike "Kundalini Express," was dedicated to the another Pink Floyd alum -- the late, great Syd Barrett.

If you missed them at Coachella, you can catch them at Lollapalooza in Chicago in August.
