I don't expect you to have the same tastes as me, but after last year's Massaker gig I'm looking forward to Caspar Brotzmann's new combo Nohome playing at Paraddox on Sunday:

Right after that Carlton Melton are playing at Extase. I've seen them a couple of times and they're really worth your time IMO.

Other than that, it's probaby going to be a lot of usual suspects for me: Vatican Shadow, Prurient, Jon Porras, Evan Caminiti, Barn Owl, My Cat Is An Alien, Head of Wantastiquet, Cut Hands, Pete Swanson, Man Forever, Regression, Fire!, Plankton Wat, Dragged Into Sunlight and of course some Mayhem and Immortal just for laughs.

I'll probably have to skip Tim Hecker as he doesn't fit in my schedule unfortunately.

Whoa, that's interesting. Do you have any idea whether it's going to be the full line-up?

The last couple of years I've asked four of them when I saw them playing with other bands/projects if NNCK would ever start playing live again and the answers I got ranged from "who knows, but things move very slowly in our universe" being the most positive response to a plain and simple "No, we don't like each other anymore".

thanks for the tips, Nohome is indeed not my type of music, but I'm liking Carlton Melton a lot, so I'll try catch him.
Got a bloody parking ticket tonight :mad: apparently parking is not free in the evening in Tilburg ... I Am Kloot were very nice though.
May go to Poppy Ackroyd instead of Built To Spill.

Have a nice weekend :)

No love for U-Roy? He's played in LA all of twice in the past twenty years, and possibly helped to invent rap music??

I think we saw a very different festival. Nohome was my fav gig of the entire weekend, also really enjoyed Carlton Melton yesterday.
Saturday it was Prurient and Jon Porras and Friday I didn't see anything that really stood out from the rest, but it was fun all the same.

Body/Head again tomorrow? Probably.

Just got news of takako minekawa performing next month. Fuck. Yes.

I'm jealous of most of the gigs you're attending....

Guitar Wolf on the 9th for me. I missed The Sonics last month, I should get my buns over to see Guitar Wolf.

i'm hoping like fuck that i can get to the SNFU show back home next weekend
stupid holidays totally fuck shit up (sometimes)

Fine set last night at The Stone - All-Guitar SyndaKit
Angela Babin, Cristian Amigo, Debra Devi, James Ilgenfritz, Zach Layton, Ben Tyree, Marco Cappelli, Zachary Pruitt, David Grubbs, On Ka’a Davis, Marc Sloan (guitars)

What is remarkable is even with 11 guitars and 1 bass, it never became noise, but the individual players could be distinctly heard. I will be out of town Sat but Elliott's long running Carbon is playing 2 sets and 2 compositions Saturday 5 Oct

Fushitsusha & Otomo Yoshihide
Lee Ranaldo
Metz
Mats Gustafsson
Disappears

Dood. Don't leave until they turn off the amps. The guitarist came out and did a song by himself like 10 minutes after the show ended.
