A 3-night Sisters Fest will do for me, it'll certainly take care of all available funds for such things. I'd rather like to go see New Order on the 8th at the Piece Hall but it's completely out of the question. Looking outside right now reminds me of the downside of big open air festivals, am looking forward to tucking in at The Enterprise with mi cocoa and slippers at the end of each night's festivities in Camden rather than having to find a tent

No mention yet of any potential support turns for the weekend. Another Utah Saints DJ stint would go down well with the Burley Park Massiv

Saw Hooky play last night, festival set for smallish crowd - still sounds incredible and actually playing far more than he usually does.

Nice his DJ sets are funky too, never seen him live solo though, though I oughta, saw a YT clip of him playing Elegia that blew my head off

[eastmidswhizzkid]

all shite then...like the old days. never mind -longer in the ' battle-cruiser where it i is cheaper..

[czuczu]

I'm still partial to a bit of Jesus Jones, as long as they play Info Freako.
Odd choice though!

Thought that was their only song! it is a good one though, popped it on YT to remind myself, and yup can definitely say I ain't heard it since 1989 but did love it at the time, briefly. We're front row-bound first night so I daresay I'll know a few more of their tunes by the end of the set. Saturday Sunday will no doubt be strolls across the road 5 minutes before kick-off.

Can't be easy organising support at short notice during a global pandemic, fair play to all the bands showing up

i'd have thought every band in the coutry would be champing at the bit to play live.
i bet the eureka machines would do it....

[LyanvisAberrant]

Would I be right in thinking that jesus jones is Ben's doing? I know he's a fan and iirc they recently met/Ben played for his band?

Incredibly exited for AA williams though. I don't understand your guys aversion but heck, just means more for me

Her music is superb but it's not really Sisters warm-up music for my blocked-up ears, you couldn't hear or appreciate the intricacies of her tunes in Manchester and Leeds last year, due to off-sound and chatting crowd. She's headlining the Brudenell the w/e before and I suspect that'd be a much better place to best appreciate her live sound, or at least headlining her own Roundhouse gig, for example. But as I say, my ears are all blocked up.

Aaah understable. That's AA shame. Maybe the sound guys have picked up a few things since then, but if the atmosphere ain't right, it ain't right.
If only I wasn't Bournemouth-bound...

Anyone heard of I like trains? I dread to think

[paint it black]

I like trains have supported the Sisters a number of tours. I really liked them at the time. Wasn't as keen on the latest stuff, however they will be grand live.

[edu]

got my flights and hotel
i am going to be there

[Planet Dave]

Full respect to everyone who is managing to get over to this rock, given the current state of the world, for the gigs

[OLDFART]

Train tkts booked for this , first gigs since March 2020 and think if I don't get out the house I'll never bother with gigs again .

[eastmidswhizzkid]

booked myself a backup bolthole for £35 for a single room. probably /possibly wont need it & deffo wont be sleeping in it but seeing as national express are taking me to that London and bacxk again for less than a tenner it seemed churlish to ruinthe ship for a ha'porth of tar. the price of Ho'tels in camden and surrounding areas are rocketting up price-wise now. some cheap dormitories but f**k them ....like i say no sleep 'till tooting broadway

[czuczu]

Like i say no sleep 'till tooting broadway

I've looted and I've begged
On the tubes of the Bec on Broadway
I've been run over by cars
And to prove it here's the scars
On my wrist
I've been cut
I've been stitched
I've been buggered, bewitched, and abadoned
But nothing in Heaven or Earth
Prepared me for this...

The Final Comedown

It's a victory worth sharing
We should celebrate I think
With the bloodiest of marys
That I'm too f**ked to drink

seems like a massive ballache but nothing i wasnt expecting.

[Planet Dave]

I'm presuming that's just a generic 'recommendations' mail sent out to everyone who bought a ticket direct from them. Got one despite the fact that I already paid them the extra two quid fifty for the pleasure of collecting tickets on the door Friday eve. Good luck to them if they try send digital tickets to my nokia.

now thats annoying because at no point during the 2 (seperated in time) purchases i made was i offered ANY physical ticket options including collection...and only when the 3rd ticket was gifted to me was the collection 'option' revealed and indeed forced upon me.

Indeed. I argued the absolute toss with them about it, on principle of course, fk the two pound fifty pee, over a course of emails, to no avail. None-smart-phone-owning lives matter! or summat apparently they kinda do (for now), but their wallets matter more.
