KMFDM - Doing it again

[vin_petrol]

Although it's not something they do very often, is it? Touring the UK, I mean. Anyway, they're playing Nottingham Rock City on Saturday July 10. Does anyone else from the general York area want to go? I'll sort out tickets. So far I have two people on the list: myself and steer. Anyone else up for a 'proper' Industrial band, not like all your modern 'EBM' malarkey :-)

Yes in principle but not if ant_girl decides to have her birthday party that night.

No problem. I can wait a while before I order tickets. This is more me taking on the responsibility to do so.

Cool. I'd like to go but I'll wait and see what Jo decides. I was also possibly going to Tewkesbury that weekend but I'm much too apathetic, I think.

I am tempted but I'm not sure my self-entertainment budget can stretch that far. I think I will pass.

I'm going down - not missing that! (and am doing Skinny Puppy the week after (19th) in London, too...)

Sounds promising - but would depend on Jo. Who's supporting?

owdbetts has just posted saying something like 'industrial, it's just boring old metal really isn't it' - do you think this is an opportunity to assimilate him? :-)

Who's supporting?

According to the Rock City web site, The Hard On's!

'industrial, it's just boring old metal really isn't it' - do you think this is an opportunity to assimilate him? :-)

Ah, that will be his untrained ear. All that bleepy stuff has made him used to 'notes' and 'melody'. He can't differentiate yet between the power noise of thrashed, distorted guitar and the power noise of distorted samples of drilling holes in corrugated iron :-)

Pitchshifter are doing another gig at Nottingham Rock City (I overheard this discussed at Everfink last week.)

That will be *one cool gig.*

[vin_petrol]

Ah yes, Saturday, October 9, 2004. I suspect I shall go to that too.

I had a very silly experience with a Pitchshifter gig once. Back in 2000, IIRC, I decided I wasn't going to enough live gigs. I was perhaps *cough* buying less CDs (for some reason), but it seemed reasonable that I went to see bands I liked live instead. So, having acquired a lot of Pitchshifter from somewhere I went online to check if they were touring. They were (excellent!). Were they playing Leeds? They were (even better). When were they playing Leeds? Last night! Bugger...

This isn't the first 'final tour' they have done, it might not be the last ....

Nottingham Rock City is reportedly their favourite venue, I don't know where my sources are in case that's rubbish, but I'm hoping to see them again there to see if they rule as much as they did last time.

I'm horribly tempted but I have no money left. Mind you, I have observed that even if I don't actually spend my money it gets eaten by bank account goblins before I can touch it, so perhaps I should pump it out into the economy where it'll do some good.

*thinks carefully about defeating bank account goblins*

My insightful analysis of imaginary economics has pretty much convinced me. How much will it cost, and are you driving?

How much will it cost, and are you driving?

Tickets are £11.75 from the Rock City web site, including P&P and booking fee. I shall probably book them towards the end of June to let the situation with Jo's birthday weekend become clearer.

I will definitely drive. There are three seats in the Type-R for brave passengers. steer should get first dibs on one as the only person to respond to my "Rockbus" mailing about this, well, apart from resyk with a Stern Telling Off via IM about polluting *Rock* bus with talk of a 'bleepy' band :-)
