I'm also a fan, but their Amsterdam show last year was boring as hell.

When's Primavera then? Not that I'm thinking of going, I'm just wondering.

8 dec

I hope that's not going to affect the likelihood of a warm-up date in London before Nightmare Before Christmas.

An aside: SunnO)))/Boris and Earth are playing The Forum in London December 10th (the day after their ATP show).

Final Primavera line-up (from the latest newsletter):

THURSTON MOORE, EARTH, THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS, LIARS, THE PONYS, DEERHUNTER, BISHOP ALLEN, VON SÜDENFED, JOHN VANDERSLICE, BRACKEN, THE ETTES, CRYSTAL CASTLES, KODE9 & THE SPACEAPE, JOSEPH ARTHUR & THE LONELY ASTRONAUTS, NO AGE, PARTS & LABOR, LAGARTIJA NICK (PERFORMING "INERCIA"), STARS OF THE LID, SCHWARZ, CASTANETS, JET LAG, FANFARLO, AINARA LEGARDON, NISEI, LE JONATHAN REILLY, THE RIGHT ONS, SANJOSEX, RUIZ PANTALEÓN, ALBAIALEIX, EL GUINCHO, HER ONLY PRESENCE.

This isn't actually the 'real' Primavera.. The Primaera Sound festival in May is the HUGE one. Something like 200 bands played last year. Club is only a filler festival.
