Supersonic 2009

Sorry I don't have any concrete news. But apparently the headliner is 'one of the most crushing bands of all time' and 'there's going to be a re-release of most of their records cos they are hard to get nowadays'.

I wonder who it could be. Also I hope they book Corrupted

Godflesh!

I SERIOUSLY hope it's Godflesh.

- I still haven't really
  
  listened to them, despite people on here telling me to. But i'm sure that would be cool. As long as they also book Corrrrrupted

  - That would be incredible
    
    I got El Mundo Frio through this morning. Ace packaging, haven't listened to the album yet though.

- That would make sense
  
  Broadrick has played a few times before and they're one of the bands in Capsule's Home of Metal project http://www.homeofmetal.com/

I'm tempted by this. Oh yes.

2009 = the year of the festival.

lemonbrickcombo | 11 Feb '09, 18:27 | X | ^ This | Reply
- that was 2008 for me
  
  I think this one might be the only one I have time for this year :(
  Oh and maybe the Nightmare Befo Xmas if it isn't curated by ELP or someone

- Booking the Etap hotel last year was easy and pretty cheap.
  
  On top of that good hotel in general and lovely buffet style breakfast. But yeh...great festival and great value.

    I don't remember you liking that breakfast, mind is hazy though

  - that breakfast was well shit!
    
    Maybe we were always too late for all the good stuff. The festival was ace though and the hotel was good value. Really good considerate atmosphere and everyone present seemed to actually like music.

    - I don't think there was any 'good stuff'
      
      but there was a good supply of just about ok stuff to serve as breakfast and lunch. The food at the festival was the best ever though

The first few bands were announced around the end of Feb last year

I can't wait! It's a social fixture for me, along with ATP it's unmissable. Mike Patton and Zu were looking for UK festival bookings, so fingers crossed for that, I can't think of any place more fitting for them to play.

jedeteste | 11 Feb '09, 23:55 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Oh man!
  
  If Godflesh and Zu/Patton play this then I might have to go.
  Do they do day tickets for this? I seem to remember them doing.

Definately up for going to this

never been to supersonic, having been meaning to for the last three!, anyway if you cant' wait, have a look at British Wildlife Festival, its of relevance to the supersonic lineup, sorry to spam!

this is bound to be brilliant

tbh I'd go for the food again if nothing else. If they manage to get a full three days worth of beer into the place I reckon it'll end up being UK festival of the year, no messin'

    - Tim is just furious at everything, all the time!
      
      Those burgers were pretty rank though. It was all about those food stalls around the corner by the large indoor room.
      
      I'm not sure I can get that into the 'Bow..however if needs must, I'll take the plunge

  So far so good...
  
  less_than_zero @less_than_zero | 24 Feb '09, 17:41 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - i think it's a great line-up so far
    
    on paper, at least. i haven't heard of most of the bands, but their descriptions on the capsule website all whet my whistle. plus less doooooom, which, though great, can get a bit tiresome after six hours straight on a sunday afternoon.

    ...but I can't get too excited.
    
    I want to go, loads, but there's no way I'll be able to convince any of my friends to go, and I'll probably bottle going on my own as I'm a massive pussy.

Making me feel better about probably missing ATP.

- Even more so since i noticed Atomized is Kylie Minoise and a guy from Black Sun

  Atomized sound funny
  
  Atomized is the what occurs when you combine the tribal percussion and bellows of Lovely Feyde Rautha (Russell McEwan of Black Sun) and the electronic-vocal attack of Lea Cummings (Kylie Minoise) as they reinterpret some well known pop songs from the 80s, or as they describe - "Raped versions of pop classics by Madonna, Visage, Howard Jones, Haircut 100, & Culture Club." As you can imagine, the songs sound nothing like the original chart toppers, dwelling in a nocturnal grey area between Mummy and Daddy era-Whitehouse (especially on their Madonna and Visage cover) and Swans at their minimal best.
  
  Equal parts industrial, noise and no-wave – it’s a heavy and merciless release from these two, the audio equivalent to Boy George’s night terrors in the clink. This will be released from Lea’s Kovorox Sound label in the not so distant future, be sure to catch their debut performance of this material at Glasgow Implodes this March.

Have only heard one album but it was pretty good. Could possibly seem as out of place as Tundra last year maybe....not that i'm complaining.

What time

do bands usually start on the Friday? I want to go but really need to save my leave for later in the year so wondering if travelling up after work on the Friday is wise.

roastthemonaspit | 17 Apr '09, 10:19 | X | ^ This | Reply
- last time it was definitely later on on the friday
  
  something like 7 I think. The other two days start after lunch but Friday is a relatively short one. If nothing has changed since last year anyway
