BLOC Weekender 13-15th March 2009

[Dan U]

I will do my best, he'll probably whinge about being a skint student though . . . I've been to the first 2 so I should really . . .

i think the value of his man child BMX is not dissimilar from the ticket price......

 

[blairsh]

Theres still a fair chance i'll be in Africa plus i've got Bangface tickets and sam can't go anywhere without 'the dedicated driver' that is me.

Gutted i can't go though

 

[sam/phallocrat]

I could always get the train/coach . . .

 

[Skim]

I need to see some more headliners – FSOL don't get me excited at all.

 

[Callie]

Just saw this on another forum - might be bollocks though, cos the poster who leaked it is a prime bullshit merchant but here are some more guests:
Lee Scratch Perry

I'm tempted - shame ill be so horrendously fucking busy with uni/work/blah

I'd almost certainly only be able to get the Friday or the Monday off.

This is not good enough.

 

[Thora]

As I'm sure many people will have got the email this morning, tickets are on sale for Bloc next year - at the Butlin's in Minehead

Future Sound of London confirmed

http://www.blocweekend.com

£125+£5 booking fee, can anyone remember what it was last year and 2007?

Anyway, who else is going? And who is tempted by a place in a chalet of utter wrongness?

Oooh, I want to go

 

[Thimble Queen]

gotta go to this!

 

[free spirit]

i think I might try and make this my rave come back weekend... in the middle of a loooong (and much needed) break from the rave, but bloc might have to be done

 

[art of fact]

im already planning half of my next years musical outings and i just started a new job... oh well, i will have to get fired

 

[El Jefe]

Overkill are hosting a stage for one night now

 

[Orang Utan]

Who?

 

[El Jefe]

Who?

they host a stage at THe Glade every year. To be honest, you'll probably hate it - it's where all the 'Moroncore' happens.

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh bollocks
actually the only act who is shite on that line-up is Tim Exile, a supreme example of your 'moroncore'
Not heard Beardyman, but like what I've heard about him

 

[Fez909]

the poster who leaked it is a prime bullshit merchant

 

[killer b]

the dubby room looks quite smashing.

 

[Orang Utan]

the dubby room looks quite smashing.

That's not THE Scientist is it?

 

[sam/phallocrat]

actually the only act who is shite on that line-up is Tim Exile, a supreme example of your 'moroncore'

hush - tim exile is a fucking genius and I wish to have his habies

 

[Fez909]

Sound alright to me:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Modeselektor, Metro Arena, 4hero, Egyptian Lover, Altern-8, Arabian Prince, Dynamix II, Si Begg, DJ Godfather, Daniel Bell, I-F, Heartbreak, Bizzy B, Dylan, 2 Bad Mice, Beardyman, Global Goon, Ulrich Schnauss, and Clark[/SIZE][/FONT]

 

[Orang Utan]

That's not the whole Overkill line up though Fez - so far it's Exile, Modeselektor, Clark and Beardyman

 

[Fez909]

That's not the whole Overkill line up though Fez - so far it's Exile, Modeselektor, Clark and Beardyman

Ah, right. Cheers.

From what I remember at Glade, Overkill is 50/50 moroncore and 'proper' music, so nowt to be worried of, I'm sure!

 

[Fez909]

That's not THE Scientist is it?

wow, it only is

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Quite tempted to go to this...

 

[Skim]

Quite tempted to go to this...

Let me know if you fancy sharing a chalet... that line-up is seriously good.

 

[BLOCwknd]

Sorry to leave something that looks like spam but we just wanted to put all of the BLOC info in one place for the convenience of Urbanites. Hope lots of you can make it again!

Thanks,

George BLOC
