WOW, thanks for this! + gira should be incredible.
i'll be at the london one.
do you know who else is going to be at the wire/electra fest or have they not decided yet? it sounds like it's going to be a hell of a show but i can't find any info anywhere...

No announcements yet on the Wire fest, but I've started a thread to which I'll add any info that I find.

Might go to the London one, or possibly Birmingham. It's equally likely I won't be arsed, but I really should.

The new Angels of Light album doesn't excite me as much as all the ones that came before it, but I'll go to the London show just to see Michael Gira, let alone get my first Boredoms experience.

why do these have to happen when i am out of the country! why do you mock me oh lord!

I think he does it because you don't go to church.

Saw the Boredoms last year at the End Times Festival, and loved them... it was my first time, and I don't think it will be my last.

You can't go wrong with three full drum kits on stage.

are tickets for these on sale yet?

They're all on sale except the London one, which isn't "officially" announced yet.

yes, that's what i thought. the enigmatic wire fest. eh?

Tell ya what, folks, here's some more dates for the rest of Europe:

05/08/07 : Klubi - Tampere (FIN)
08/08/07 : Øya Festival - Oslo (N)

Yes, as I might have thought.

No central/eastern Europe whatsoever.

Does anyone know what's up with OOIOO's European tour? Postponed or cancelled altogether? They were supposed to play in my town in November but that got cancelled. :(

what are angels of light like?

If you want to compare them to Swans, the're most like Burning World-era. Quite Leonard Cohen-like, in a way.

ill be at the dublin gig for sure!

Who's going to the London one then?

no i wont, ill be at my mates wedding!

The Boredoms were absolutely amazing in Manchester. Eye was playing a bank of open guitar necks chiming the chords with different drum sticks. the rest of the band were drummers with keyboards an delays. It was unbeliveably thrilling.
Gira was singing a real morbid death blues that left me a little cold but seemed to be enjoyed by the crowd.
