Being utterly awesome. She still puts out the odd tune, and supported Erasure this year. It was one of those shows where you go 'oh yeah, I know fucking loads of her songs'. Really good band behind her as well.

Decayed Rhapsody 01.03.2012 05:33 PM

I'm drawing a blank. I didn't see too many bands. 2010 was a more active year in terms of show-going.

The Men, Swans (underwhelming), Wire, PJ Harvey, Shellac... a lot of local dancehall/soundsystem parties in Crown Heights.

With reggae shows ALWAYS know the promoter and if it is not somebody legit and consistent don't bother, there are sure to be cancellations.




the tour wasn't failed, horace andy was the only person who wasn't there

i looked it up and i guess it was 2007, and it's worth noting i don't live in the USA(i think he played the united states dates but not 100% sure)

I meant the Horace Andy part of the tour failed as Sly and Robbie most definitely showed up and brought it :)

I saw that one yesterday for the first time, might go as well.

apart of mats, what are the other worthwhile acts?

Gulasch Noir 01.07.2012 06:32 AM

Mostly, I have only heard names as well. From what I have gathered, I should enjoy Martin Siewert (from Trapist), Burkhard Stangl und hopefully a few more.
