Thanks for the info!
I shall have a listen
Harvey Milk are one
of Americans greatest ever bands. 3 piece from Athens, Georgia. Pure rock, riff, sludge, doom stuff. Amazing. Their new record will be out this year WITH JOE PRESTON from THRONES playing bass on it. Also Stephen O Malley from Sunn O))) does some of there sleeve artwork. Just get some of their records now. Google.
great lineup
Now to find a friend in Birmingham....
Sounds good!
Wasn't there a special deal with a local hotel last year?
Is that Dalek
as in Dälek?
If so, fuckinhellimgoin'.
Also
how much were tickets last year/likely to be this year?
When you include booking fee
and postage, probably about 30 quid for the whole weekend
Also
Justice Yeldman is probably the BEST or WORST live act you will ever see. His music is awful but that isnt the point.
whoa
HARMONIA
holy cow!
Isn't it Justice YeldHAM?
Theys gonna have to change their poster.
uncredible
lineup, Earth, Einstellung, Harvey Milk, Noxagt and Thrones. Wow
True, true
though it isnt his real name so its changeable I guess.
O...M..G
Great lineup
I've only been once (when Coil headlined) but this looks great.
looks like im going again
ace.
fantastic line-up already.
So how does this work exactly then?
Buy a ticket for the weekend and get to go to all gigs at one venue for three days?
If I can possibly do this I am so there. Anyone got a sofa I can kip on in B'ham?
Thank god for this!
The ATP's are dull x 100 so I'm in!
Yuss!
Thrones, Earth, Harvey Milk, Battles and Black Sun... all mega good.
I'm tempted to take a wee jaunt down the M6 for this one :)
Wow
This looks amazing
