my friends and i shall all be there
my friend Laura-Jo is doing a les savy fav special on her radio show on the night before, to get us all in the mood.
did Los Campesinos pull out?
I have a vague memory of someone telling me this.
I'm going by the way.
I hope
so
it's still on their my space
they still claim to be playing
on their myspace....
though that isn't definitive.
theyre playing
fuck the champagne
...
me
Moi Aussi
it wont be the same without
me there, i dont know why you lot are bothering
Because FOTL are playing
They alone are worth trekking all the way from South London for on a Sunday night.
they sound like drowning pool
You don't deserve your job.
he should stick to drumming
for okkervil river
but he doesn't even deserve that
haha
i said the same thing about their resemblance to guntrip after the O.R. brighton gig
(before i met j_s at atp) :p
okay
they sound like a drowning poo
You're shit.
Well let's be honest: ANYTHING's worth getting out of South London for
:D
me.
I am also having to go by myself because of my cunting friends pulling out AFTER I had purchased my ticket.
:(
You'll still
have an amazing night, I challenge anyone not to enjoy Les Savy Fav live!
or not.
persuasion skillz FTW.
I'm actually looking forward to this much more now :D
me, sally
sarah silverman and matt damon. she's fucking him, y'know.
ME!
Has it sold out yet?
if not, i'll probably go
in fact
I'll definitely go
No it hasn't
I got my ticket today.
Have to collect it though from the box office. They charge you £2.50 for that priviledge; the fuckers...
Listening to the other bands now. I may turn up at 8:30 and aim to miss the first 2 acts.
Maybe a DiS met up is in order, as so many of us are saying "going on my own"?
They charged you at the Astoria to buy a ticket with cash?
Eh?
*collect
lets do
the upper street challenge beforehand.
I.NO.SCARE.
I'm going
you knows it
16 year old girls alerting people on internet
messageboards that they're going alone to gigs
fwjofj
Los Camps are playing yeah, just Im not too fussed. Though having never seen them live maybe theyll win me back over.
I'm there.
I'm taking a girl from work who I'm trying to make fall in love with me. She kissed me after I gave her the Bon Iver record... I'm concerned this may not have the same result. (I'm looking at you, FOTL.)
wait till they play
we'll make a lover of you and move in (too obvious perhaps)
I'm going
Also on my own.
you're never truly on your own
when Tim Harrington's in the room
I'm in.
its my birthday
and i'll dance like a drunken fool if i want to.
Is liking FOTL...
really that bad that we can't get dates / friends / fuck buddies to come with us? Is it the fear of "plague of onces" live maybe?
^^^^ I can't wait for this
and a great day of sports as well.
and other things.
ME!
and my friend who i am dragging along.
cracking good line-up too.
'm going
but I don't know any of you folks.
don't lie
you are my oldest friend.
shall we turn this into a meetup thread?
though LSF gigs on yr own are good, going by the Scala one. Also, Im gonna make a 'fuck the champagne' t-shirt.
they were so
unbeliably amazing at The Scala will be hard for them to top it. I'm sure they'll give it their best though.
I'll make a matching 'we want Gin' one
*
unbelievably
i'm going
amazing line up
So when I first bought a LSF record...
they were mentally loud, unmusical and amazing. I haven't bought anything since, but their myspace page suggests they're a lot more jangly now and "nice"
Whats the deal? And are the supports any cop? Their myspace profiles too suggest maybe not?
Actually...
Ignore the above. Thats what happens when you browse with tabs and the bands you're jumping between start with "Los" and "Les"...
On another note, if you like FOTL then download this off the front page. Its an interview with the band available for free as an mp3, and as its by 2 pretty hardcore fans of their work (and mclusky's), I'd like to think it's got a different angle to it than the usual ones. Spread it about too if its your thang:
http://www.tohellwith.co.uk
meeeeeeee
cannnnnot WAIT!!!
ps, love to Jazzy P :-D best present ever!
prbly me. yep
yep.
YES
me plus my friend.
i have a spare ticket. does anyone want it?
Yes please :)
you
didn't wait for me to ask shaun or allieeee!
you went out with them last night
they've had enough time!!!
it's Mirri's unless she changes her mind.
i
forgot to bring it up in conversation!!
they'll probably just buy tickets anyway (or has it sold out now?)
it is still on sale i think
which is silly.
if jong jong and the jong jang jong were playing it would have sold out, silly people.
i shall be there
cant bloody wait. los camp better not pull out!
me me me
bought my ticket today from the Astoria box office. Fuck you, ticket agencies!
me
hi
I'M GOING
SO IS BAMOS.
It's going to be really cool.
Manchester derby, then Chelsea v Liverpool, then 4 bands, wicked. Yeh.
i'm going to this!
megabus from cardiff-london and back the next day. great days
I'M THERE
!
but DiSers i know will be there
heartbrokenstar
scarecrow
fihiki
klaire
werk
me
me too!
:p
i should probably go...
but not sure if i fancy it on my own :(
go for it
going on your own isn't a big deal (at least I hope not, since I do it all the time) and the line-up is obviously top.
Anyone know what the stage times are? I'm not terribly arsed about seeing Cut Off Your Hands.
los camp are on 8:30
Their mail out said 7:15
yeah, as below
?????? O/S 18.45 - 18.55
LOS CAMPESINOS! O/S 19.15 - 19.45
FUTURE OF THE LEFT O/S 19.55 - 20.35
LES SAVY FAV O/S 21.05 - 22.15
fuck thats early
I'm going
yays
I'm going too
woo yeah pow, etc.
stage times here
DOORS 18.00
CUT OFF YOUR HANDS O/S 18.45 - 18.55
LOS CAMPESINOS! O/S 19.15 - 19.45
FUTURE OF THE LEFT O/S 19.55 - 20.35
LES SAVY FAV O/S 21.05 - 22.15
Are people...
going to a pub nearby to watch the football first? If so, can you recommend one?
I might go to that Sam Smiths just above Oxford St. before the gig. Good way to get drunk very quickly for less than £15
I may also miss the first two bands. According to the material on their myspace pages they're both a bit shit, right?
the angel or the fitzrovia?
they're both top pubs, but the angel edges it cos of the darts.
meeeeeeee
whoop!
im going
can't wait!
*puts hand up*
should be there.
Its gonna be huge
Can't wait
Im reviewing it for Audioscribbler.co.uk
This is the best gig lineup
I've seen all year
My ticket's just arrived this very afternoon
Phew that was close, thought I was going to have to phone up one of those ghastly ticket agencies and shout at them. See you there!
People need to be dancey
I can imagine something might get lost in the Astoria especially if the barrier's up. So, yes DiS get your dancing shoes on!
i should probably go to this
Come Dan... come...
Jim, Jon and I are going. Though in all honesty, I'm only going for the last 2 bands on.
losers
I do love LSF but WOLVES IN THE FUCKING THRONE ROOM ARE PLAYING ON THE SAME NIGHT so I'm going to that
the Fav are on at 9pm
...or so i've been told
can't wait!
Are you doing anything tomorrow night, Gaz?
Come and see LSF in Bedford.
I have a birthday party to attend
it involves a ceilidh. Obviously I would rather attend this than LSF...
the stage times
are totaly awesome. might be able to intentionaly miss the first two now.
although missing the second one
on purpose would make you a mere husk of a human
^
What are the stage times
I'll be there and I'll be drunk
if only someone could post them somewhere
You mean to say that you expect me to trawl through this thread to find them
guess again cupcake
You can still be lazy and find the times
Edit - Find - 18.00, and oh look, there it is...
As if by magic
cheers
Why are the bands on so early?
Normally I'd like this on a Sunday evening but trains back to Brighton don't stop until very late it seems and now I've got to get up there quite early.
Bah
I finish work at 6, now I won't be able to be at the front of the queue.
I suppose I will be able to walk the next day though, my knees were purple for days after the Scala.
