Sonic Youth @ State-X New Forms 15-12-2006, The Hague, Netherlands

Weird, I haven't logged in all day so I expected to see this posted by somebody else already.
Anyway, the rumours are true. Sonic Youth are playing at State-X New Forms 2006 in The Hague:

Het Haagse festival State-X New Forms heeft de eerste namen bekend gemaakt voor de editie van 2006. Op 15 en 16 december a.s. zullen de volgende artiesten acte de présence geven in en rondom het Paard van Troje:

- AARDVARCK (NL),
- AAVIKKO (FIN),
- (CHRIS) CLARK (GB),
- CIRCLE (FIN),
- JULIE MITTENS (NL),
- LABASHEEDA (NL),
- LA PESTE (F),
- LOVE IS ALL (S),
- MARK ONE (GB),

- VINCENT OLIVER (GB),
- PLASTICIAN (GB),
- POW-ENSEMBLE feat. JOSEPH BOWIE (NL/USA),

In totaal zullen zo'n veertig optredens plaatsvinden verdeeld over de naast elkaar gelegen locaties het Paard van Troje (vier podia) en PG8 (podium en expositieruimte). State-X New Forms wordt in 2006 voor de derde keer georganiseerd door het Paard van Troje en het Haags Popcentrum.

De thematische inhoud van het festival is X-PLORE (wat zijn nieuwe ontwikkelingen in de experimentele popmuziek), X-PLAIN (wat is de historische kontekst) en X-PECT (wat valt er de komende jaren te verwachten). Beide dagen is de aanvang van het festival om 19.30 uur en het programma duurt tot 05.00 uur.

De voorverkoop loopt via Ticketservice Nederland (www.ticketservice.nl) en de kassa van het Paard van Troje (070-3601838) en zal op 14 oktober a.s. beginnen.

I got it from the The Hague section of the VPRO 3voor12 site.

It's listed as a press release (persbericht) and although it doesn't specify whether they're playing on the 15th or the 16th it has to be the 15th since they're playing in Berlin on the 16th.

Yes!!! I'll be there. Nice one. Thanks pokkeherrie. :)

Edit: Are any of the other acts worth watching?

sounds like a blast see ya there.

Mono is the only one I know, out of that list.

They sound like one hell of a noise improv. Thanks Nefeli.

Yep! the date has been confirmed on their myspace. 15th December at Paard Van Troje.

good news anyway :D

thanks pokkeherrie! Not sure yet if I will go though as I don't know any of the other bands and if it's all noise noise noise music I'll probably pass.
I am going to the second night in Brussels already anyways (there's still tickets btw at goformusic.be). Unfortunately I can't make it on the monday otherwise I would have probably went both nights

zeg, Aviko dat zijn toch aardappelen? :D

aardvarck is a dj
mono is japanese post-rock

Seems like an interesting fest. Doesn't seem to be all 'noise' for people worried about that.

Julie Mittens are indeed ace. I met their guitarist (I think) at a festival and he was a thoroughly nice man.

I've got exams in that period...

Also, I guess Dream Aktion Unit is playing this as well considering the dates from the Cosano/Flaherty upcoming live thread?

Dream/Aktion Unit - 12/15/06 in The Hague, Holland.

can we all sleep at your place ? :)
Seriously, it would be fun to meet up somewhere. But I haven't made up my mind yet whether I'm going or not. I absolutely don't care about any other act that's coming so far, I'm hoping for more acts especially Dinosaur Jr since they will be in the neighborhood too. Will there be more acts, or is it just the ones that have beeen announced last week?
