Is your set still clashing with Listening Mirror's?

Glice 08.18.2010 04:59 AM

According to the website, I'm on 8pm Friday, Listening Mirror are 10am (!) Saturday.

Toilet & Bowels 08.18.2010 08:58 AM

in return for them putting us on at such an idiotic time we're going to play a drunk improv set in our sleeping bags

Glice 08.18.2010 09:18 AM

Fucking hell. Looks like I'm going to be getting up early Sat/ Sun and then having an afternoon kip while the cack music's on. Glad I'm playing on Friday now.

Genteel Death 08.18.2010 11:38 AM

Who the gets up that early to see ANY band? Florya I'll do my best on Sat. It's not a promise.

Toilet & Bowels 08.19.2010 06:53 PM

we're playing at 2 now, which in a way is disappointing because i had warmed to the idea of an 11am hangoverevenge set

Glice 08.19.2010 07:33 PM

Bowels, d'you reckon you could ring me about 10 minutes before you're going on? That'd be well helpful.

Cheers for getting us on the bill Gab.
By my reckoning our slot was moved 11 times, 5 of them during the festival.

When we arrived, at about 1.30pm on Friday, the website said that we were playing at 10am Saturday.
But when we bumped into Glice at about 9.30 on Friday night, he showed us a programme he'd been given, it listed us as playing at 7pm on Friday!! So we'd missed our slot because we hadn't been told.
Then on Saturday morning we were told that we could play in front of the Black Lagoon Lounge, but the DJs that were already playing were having none of it. Then we were told 4pm on the main stage, so I went to check. By the time I reached the stage (about 5 minutes) it had changed again to 2.30 and while I was talking to the sound guy (by this time it was 12.15) It was decided that we would play at 12.30!! So we had a mad rush to try and get set up and finally started playing at around 12.50.

I'm exhausted!:)

Toilet & Bowels 08.22.2010 03:22 PM

this festival was loads of fun! if they put it on again i'd go back for sure.

Jesus Christ haha!

Just got back home. I hope everyone has had good time. Will write more later.

nicfit 08.23.2010 12:13 PM

Yes, please do, I'm really curious about how this mess (in the best possible acception) turned out. Pics and recordings would help too he he, but Kegmama already posted some amazing stuff he he...I say he he too much.

Glice 08.23.2010 12:21 PM

This was more fun than a very fun thing indeed. Met loads of awesome people, drank myself ridiculous. I got to play with the A band behind a very naked theraminist. There was a bare minimum of cack bands. I did the bad friend thing of properly falling asleep during Thought Forms.

This festival was awesomes.

Genteel Death 08.23.2010 01:05 PM

I made it a point of watching at least all the bands I put on and nobody disappointed. Took some pictures of all of them, some a bit blurred due to my costant state of drunkness (3 days!). Chatted to tons of great people, including the very sexy Glice. Of the other bands I LOVED Gnod. Was also nice listening to some ranting about David Keenan from several members of The A Band, including anedoctes about his old band Telstar Ponies. Driving in the middle of knowhere with Ike and Jake from Fuck Knuckles while Manowar were playing very loudly on the van-stereo was also loads of fun. More later...

Glice 08.23.2010 01:12 PM

Fuck yeah. Gnod were AMAZING.

Genteel Death 08.23.2010 01:18 PM

One of the guys in Faust was joking about the singer at the front looking like Mick Jagger. They also put on loads of great records when they DJed on Friday night.

OoooH! Did you get any pictures of us?
I know there wasn't much to see, but it would be nice to have some photographic evidence that we were there! :-)

Toilet & Bowels 08.25.2010 07:37 AM

Yeehaw!

Wuw that was nice and good sounding too!
Love that stage.

Marras, there was no "official" coverage (I mean, some guy/guys who had the task of recording some footage and stuff)?
Seems like one of those festival which would make for a great cut-up lo fi doc or something.
I speak bad english.
