YAY!!
i like the bit about the Fly too. :D
goodbooks are great.
pity i still don't have a fucking ticket.
wooooooo
good books and good shoes are playing. good shit.
a while ago
it seemed like anathallo were going to play. any idea if this is still happening?
Hmmm
It's in the news on their website but not in the tour schedule. Maybe they're waiting for confirmation themselves. Hope they're playing as there's now a properly filmed live version of Hanasakajijii Four on YouTube which is just remarkable.
Rock Of Travolta! Excellent!
Also:
Danny Wilson?!?! The fella that did 'Mary's Prayer' off of the mid-80's?
or the tough-talking former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder and MK Dons manager?
WHICH ONE IS IT?!
also
i know its early days, but when will a schedule be released cos i need to make sure some bands dont clash.
hahaha
about three days before.
ee.
i hope we have the nice little booklets again. i'll try not to loose them all again this time.
EEEEEEEE!!!!
hooray.
to make me extra happy
pearls and brass should be added.
Battles?
FUCK YES.
So are Futureheads and Belle & Seb. confirmed as the headliners yet, or are they still simply rumoured...?
I hope
:( are playing but theres nothing on the updated line-up thread in the Truck forum to suggest they are. or on :('s myspace
:(
are confirmed but it comes up as a smiley on the truck forum cos it is coded that way...
belle and sebastian are not playinmg, much as we'd like them to.
THAT FUCKING TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!1
w00ty mcw00t
And another thing...
The Lefthanded? Doesn't mean And The Lefthanded, does it?
it
seem mystery jets are the sunday headliner. no b&s.
Futureheads?
Ugh, I've somehow managed to see the futureheads twice already, supporting various bands, and was bored by them both times. Not a particularly good live band, IMO
