Europeans - please help

Glice · 02.24.2011, 01:52 PM

Hi Sonic Youth Gossip.

I have a friend - Skjolbrot - who's looking to book a European tour. If you can be ANY help with this at all, please get in touch (here or by PM).

Essentially, this doesn't have to mean that you put on gigs - if you can be a footsoldier/ put him in touch with venues/ translate for him, that'd be great. He's not worried about where he plays, so if you'd like to see some fantastic music in, say, Bratislava, don't be afraid to get in touch because you're a little way away from central Europe.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Did I mention he's awesome? No? Well, he is.

Yours, humbly (no, really),

G

When is he looking to tour?

Glice · 02.24.2011, 02:25 PM

The summer, I believe.

Genteel Death · 02.24.2011, 02:34 PM

Thanks, will try to help if I can.

Glice · 02.24.2011, 02:43 PM

Top man. Anyone else?

A4 club in Bratislava might be pretty happy to give him a try. I'll find out and will let you know.

I could kiss you all, except they haven't invented a way of doing that through the internet. Rest assured as soon as they do I'll be kissing you (shortly before getting arrested on an 'unrelated matter', obviously)

If he's playing in Scotland I could probably help out.

(No one wants to come up here though).

I'd fucking love to!! Or anywhere in Northern England for that matter. I will train like the shadow of a perfect wrestler in order to beat all that rotten tomato-throwing.

I'll try, even if the few people I knew "in the business" all moved on to different "jobs".

Glice · 02.24.2011, 05:32 PM

I'll tell you what Derek, I'll play in Scotland as soon as I'm more solvent. Face, yours, in.

[NB - I think he's thinking of UK-wide things as well, but he already has contacts here]

Pelle · 02.24.2011, 07:44 PM

I like it!

Maybe I could try to help arranging something with him and my band.

You should. I'll play too.

We can rent one of Glasgow's contemporary art galleries and sip fine wine if you so desire.

Dude, I'm happy with a floor and a roof (walls optional).

Pelle: Awesome. I'll be in touch.

jonathan · 02.25.2011, 06:49 AM

Unfortunately, I'm not so well-connected in Budapest. BUT, I would suggest maybe Trafo, which is a contemporary art space. Swans is playing there sometime in April. He could also try A38, which is a big boat that sits on the Danube. Hope that helps!

If he's really interested in a show here he should email me at derekcharlesmcarthur at gmail.com and I'll see what I can do for him.

Cheers - I've passed your e-mail onto Skj.

Others - I'll PM you soon to get e-mail addresses to pass on.
