[rutabowa]

I read today that The 13th Floor Elevators will be playing too

where did you read that!

 

[Dubversion]

i don't really know them to be honest i don't like their name though.

oh good grief!!

 

[Dubversion]

where did you read that!

I'm sure it's just Roky..

 

[rutabowa]

I'm sure it's just Roky..

you would think they would make quite a point of mentioning it on the south bank website!

 

[rutabowa]

oh good grief!!

ok ok i'll watch them! i guess i'll be there anyway...

 

[Dubversion]

they're fantastic. Like garage psych with lots of weird, dubby space. They've been going for years, amazed you haven't come across them?

 

[clandestino]

just bought my mary chain tickets!!

for some reason i pictured them as an electro-indie girl group with twee vocals about love and cigarettes.

call me old fashioned but i can't think of anywhere i'd rather less go than to the Royal Festival Hall to see either JAMC or Motorhead. I guess this is really about the change in music policy of RFH. I find those kind of venues really frustrating for that kind of music, they're not 'gig' venues. I'm not sure it's about a crisis in acoustic music but more about the middle age consumption of rowdy music.

To answer my criticisms> could meltdown take place anywhere else in London? probably not.

 

[Dubversion]

cI guess this is really about the change in music policy of RFH. .

i don't think that's the case at all - i've been going to 'rock' gigs there for years, and anyway these gigs have to be seen as part of Meltdown. I share some of your concerns about the RFH for such gigs, but i don't see it as a sign of a shift in policy

The Barbican.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

The Barbican.

same kind of big state arts centre really. There was big shift in music policy in the late 90s, that was what i was referring to, yes, that was a long time ago now!

Meltdown used to be curated by 'proper' composers back in the day.

 

[BEARBOT]

just got roky tickets and tickets for the film about the elevators..im in a net cafe in orgiva spain luckily i followed this thread cos i was gonna wait to book til when im back in london next week

ps..ruta..im not familiar with clinics music at all but perhaps you are confusing them with elctro pop duo client?
i guess we will find out what they are like next month..

Maybe the lyric theatre hammersmith - probably not big enough though.

I guess we're meant to be appreciating Motorhead as 'art' rather than just another gig.

 

[jbob]

Well I think it's a good line up! Going to see Gonzales and Devo, might see if I can stretch to John Barry ... Can't make Roky Erikson, sadly.

 

[Hollis]

I'm going to see Devo and Jarvis.. was hoping to see Iggy & the Stooges, but all sold out..

do you know i think yr right!
i got tickets for thee film too, it's meant to be really ace. for roky, well i will wait and see, it's a bit impossible to say what he'll be like!

 

[Dubversion]

he gets a stunning review in M**o this month

if only! your clinic sound fantastic!

 

[Orang Utan]

You're thinking of Client, rutabowa

 

[rutabowa]

yes it was client.
anywhere here is a roky erickson song, at his most totally terrifying and unhinged.

anyone going to sunn show? would v like to, if can get tickets. shame it's seated.

 

[118118]

Damnit. Bought tickets in a "panic", yet i could see them play supersonic in birmigham, standing, and also see mogwai monarch wolf eyes...

do you reckon i could ebay them? shall i - not sure i can remember being seated before, don't get out much.

 

[118118]

vulture is an ace pop tune.

eta: will play noew. one of the few bands i've seen.

eta2: and come into my room. both killed by adverts.

 

[118118]

i have to say i am looking foward to this. listening to black 1, now. got as far as orthodox caveman and i'm seeing everything thru a strange haze. will be at a gig. is that an earth riff?

So when did Jarvis become such a bore? His Art School Pop radio documentary was quiet good.

 

[118118]

yeah listened thru black 1. tbh it's not quite as shattering as i recall, but tracks 1, 2 and 4 are awesome.

Not sure what you mean?

Jarv has always felt like that, as long as I can remember.
