she is playing dublin on the 12th of feb. uk and ireland tour she is also doing a us tour as well

I'm going to see Test Icicles tonight @ ULU - Yey!

Fuckin' A! Just found out Franz Ferdinand is coming to snowy ol' Winterpeg!!! Death Cab for Cutie opening (I could care less, but my girl kinda likes them).



Only problem is it's during my exam period in April, but that shouldn't pose problems. Need to get tickets double-copy on the ASAP!



I feel less bad about not going to Coachella now.

Ooooh I took some photos of Layo & Bushwacka @ The End for a mag on sat and I swear to god I heard Bushwacka play a remix of Electronic Battle Weapon 8!! I was a bit tipsy but I swear I heard the animal choon man!



Or maybe I was just over tired?!



8O

Test Icicles were shit. An Indie/Metal band without a drummer and it just sounded weak - I could hear my ipod louder! Alright on CD but live... No mate!



Lethal Bizzle 8O supported and I'm sorry to say but he rocked an indie crowd! People were going nuts at the front...

Went to see Gary Numan at Leeds Uni last night. As someone who only knows two of his tracks (the obvious ones!) I was quite surprised by his show, kind of industrial goth stuff! Although patchy I thought it was pretty good overall, tbh I mainly went to the show out of curiousity more than anything. There were two guitar players (including Numan himself on and off), one guy who rotated between guitar and keyboards and guy sat behind a huge drumkit. Numan spent most of the set bouncing around the stage headbanging and waving his microphone stand around.



He went down a storm with crowd who clearly loved the bloke, everytime it went silent there were shouts of "Nuuumaan", it was quite funny and I think he was quite overawed by it all at the end. There were two encores, one of them he did a rocky Are Friends Electric which was awesome, the crowd singing along and punching the air.



anyway some photos (complete with bald guy in front):

Ah! Forgot about this thread!

Wicked show. Both bands were in top form. Incendiary.



Forgot to bring my camera, unfortunately.

chicago is having a house music festival this summer :)

House aficionados will be hitting the streets of the Windy City when it hosts Move, the Chicago International House Music Festival, on the July 22-23 weekend.



Though some will still argue over who was most responsible for the birth of house music - some say Frankie Knuckles others point to Ron Hardy - most will agree about the origins of the genre's name, the Chicago club, Warehouse. Come July, when the pavements of Chicago's streets really heat up, the city will showcase the electronic music genre it originally cultivated, via its first house music festival, Move.



The 2-day festival will take place at the lakefront Charter One Pavilion at Northerly Island and feature some of the most internationally renown names in house music, primarily from the US, including Grammy� Award winners Frankie Knuckles, Maurice Joshua and David Morales, legendary vocalists Jocelyn Brown, Barbara Tucker and Chicago?s own Ralphi Rosario, Derrick Carter, Terry Hunter, Steve?Silk?Hurley, Jamie Principle, Dajae, DJeremy, Lady D and Andre Hatchett. South African house sensation DJ Glen Lewis will also take part in the festival with Danny Tenaglia scheduled to close the party on Sunday evening with a special extended set.



Move is also affiliated with the seventh edition of the Gay Games and will be hoping to attract a broadminded audience of music lovers.



"We want to celebrate house music at its birthplace. In addition, we hope to encourage a better understanding and relationships between cultures and their people through dance, to make a positive contribution to the art of music, " say the festival's Directors.



One-day and 2-day advance tickets priced at $35 and $60 will go on sale April 15 at Ticketmaster.



Move, the Chicago International House Music Festival takes place July 22-23, 2006 at the Charter One Pavilion in Chicago.

The Go! Team rule, they're like a band version of DJ Shadow, only less arty and more about the songs. Nice happy days music 8)

live set with synths,desk and mpc's etc. was superb, probably one of the best things I've seen in while. good live techno and great music. it went off when they played blackwater towards the end :D
