EVOL would be amazing, but I'll easily settle for Daydream Nation. I never really liked the recordings I've heard from the Sister tour. Most of them sound like they're rushing through the album as if they're in a hurry.
I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy going to this more than the prospect of seeing them do another Rather Ripped set... that's why I'm considering going.

The fact that you exactly know what song is being played next is a bit of a minus though (I've had that before when I saw the cure on one of their trilogy shows playing pornography/disintegration/bloodflowers in its entirety), but just thinking about the sprawl, 'cross the breeze and trilogy... wow.... :eek:



By the way, there will also be an ATP "Don't look back" stage at this year's Primavera festival in Barcelona. Maybe Sonic Youth will be playing DDN there too? Slint, Comets on Fire and the Melvins have been confirmed so far....

Thanks for this thread.
Thanks for the link, sonicl, can't rep you for that, gotta spread some.
Gonna bring tons of food to avoid the restaurants.

i have to get my tickets...

where do you order them from!??!

Wooooooohooooooooo!! Yeah, can't believe my two favourite bands are playing my two favourite albums, just got my ticket! Man, this is so cool!

The only thought of seeing them playing 'The Sprawl' live made my day.Tickets are selling well,apparently.Gotta spread the word.

i knew this was coming up ages ago but didnt realise that the dates were announced... gotta get on the phone to find out about an irish date. excellent.......

I'm sure that they will play more than one gig if they happen to be around here at the time.

yeah. i wouldn't worry about it. if the band is gonna re-learn all of those songs, i can't see them making it something that they'd not want to share with as many fans as possible.

Fanfuckingtastic!!!

Oh sod it, I may as well get caught up in the general excitement.

ONLY 192 DAYS TO GO!!!

Is anyone else going to see Slint?

ha ha ha ha ha, i love you for working that out.

Chris Habib tell sonic youth i love them for doing this!

Hey I was thinking, it could make it on a bonus CD for the DD deluxe reedition, no ?

I NEED SY playing DDN in venice or in verona's arena, ot in the coliseum, or in piazza del campo in siena, or in monteriggioni aaaargh i hate you all!

will they be performing with Mark???????

WHOO HOOOO!!!!

Hey that's not fair! they don't deliver outside U.k!

MOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, finally living the uk is good for something!!!!!!, finally we are getting some sonic youth action before NYC!

(sorry to those living in europe, i know this really sucks for you guys)

maybe they'll test out a few old DN songs at coachella?
:)

Which seller is that, Lalie?

If you're willing to trust a total stranger, you can have them sent to me if you want and I'll forward them to you. Use the Roundhouse ticket office if you're going to do that, I should think they'll deliver quicker. PM me if you want to do it.

the Roundhouse ticket office!
Hey thank you!
I want the tickets so I feel like I'm going to trust you total stranger...

will this gig be with Mark or not ???? anyone have any idea ????

Bloody hell. I hope this doesn't sell out. I wan't to 'mull' it for a bit. I just bought a pricey Sun City Girls lp, am about to buy a pretty fucking suave trenchcoat and am unemplyed at the moment.

living in new jersey, the best i can look forward to is that they re-learn the songs they don't play anymore and put them back in the set!

they should also do a warm up run-through in nyc!

well they have been playing a lot of dn in the rr set lately havent they?
all i can say is...
DUBLIN, NON FESTIVAL GIG!!!
steve, you promised me that a couple of years back!!!!!!!!

man...Hey Joni,

There are still plenty of tickets seating and standing,apparently.It's always difficult to tell how quickly a gig of this kind will sell out if it's going to.Sell your coat!!

silver rocket more like!!!!!!!!!!!!

someone needs to record this.

Shit, I'm seriously thinking of going there.

If you're thinking of going, BE QUICK!
The gig is SOLD OUT on seetickets.com, so you can now only get them direct from the venue at roundhouse.org.uk

For the love of god, HURRY!!!

I better get a ticket just in case... any trustworthy UK resident want to buy a ticket for me?
I can paypal you the money right now...

too true. i was on seetickets and had three tix to my name until i filled in the necessary card details and hit enter. all sold out. i shat my load and scurried around for alternative sellers. ended up gettin mine from wegotickets.com.

got slint tickets too because i never thought i'd see 'em again.

this is too unreal for words. my two favourite bands. soooo fucking excited for august.

so far i now have pipeline tickets for:
march - four tet
april - dylan, papa m
may - deerhoof, ATP vs Fans (shellac, do make say think, explosions etc.)
august - slint, sonic youth

. . . 'sgonna be a good year.

hey pokke . . . that site i got my tix from (wegotickets.com) don't actually send out their tix. they are etickets that you collect at the venue . . . so that might work . . . . HURRY!

this shit is selling fast!!!!!

£25 shit that is quite a lot and will sell very quick, if not already.

my problem's not the mail address, but the payment form. roundhouse accepts maestro, but not mine i think, or i'm just being clumsy. i don't have a credit card, just a debit card.

oh shit.

i wouldn't bet on that.
