i'll have a go

Didn't think this would ever happen...

if so can they support? thank you please.

I've DM'd a bunch of you invites. Once you've signed up, be sure to vote and then click through to say what you'd pay for tickets and click submit. You'll be asked for your card details, but you only pay if the gig happens. And I think the price you put is more to get an average sense of what people would pay, rather than what you will have to pay (I might be wrong... I should probably read the FAQ).

you can go here https://www.songkick.com/signup

Who are they and why should I care?

that aren't London

please! I'm in

im interested

interested.

and they were predictably awesome. Hope you can make this happen!

I have a feeling they were meant to... or if they did, I was maybe sick or on holiday or something...

if you wanna help out, the sign-up code is this https://detour-ldn.songkick.com/?invite_code=DPMRRBWN (only a few spots left)

EVER

EVER EVER

FOREVER EVER

Can't be fucked to sign up though.

Then I did and I signed up because it's a great idea. What an incredible album Read Music/Speak Spanish still is.

Fantastic work. This might actually happen.

Because it's almost 2013 and someone's got to make a record that means something. I just don't figuring it being him.

please

I’m delighted to tell you that Desaparecidos ARE COMING TO LONDON! Thanks to all your votes we've managed to convice them to come over to the UK and make the show happen.

This couldn’t have happened without you (literally), and we really appreciate everyone's support in making this happen. We also want to thank Sean at Drowned In Sound for his huge help in kicking this off.

What now? Well, aside from preparing for an epic night, here are the details;

- The gig will be on the 11th of February at the O2 Academy, Islington
- The ticket price is £15. If you pledged more, you will still only be charged £15.
- The are no fees / convenience charges. £15 is £15!
- Your card will be charged and your tickets issued to you in a separate email.
- We’ll be selling an extra allocation from 12pm tomorrow at http://detour-ldn.songkick.com/tickets, so if your friends want to come, please send them the link.
- If you can't make it on the 11th, please let us know, and we'll refund you.

We look forward to see you in February. If you have any questions let us know at detour@songkick.com.

literally

this is a really interesting + cool approach to booking a tour.

just hope they announce some other tour dates around it. (feb already has faaaar to many gigs i want to go to but won't be able to afford)

I've got about 20p until Monday. Why can't they have waited a few more days?!

What do you lot reckon?

I forgot to sign up to this, wonder how quick it will sell out

but the idea of this is fascinating. Also, not sure how I missed the Tycho one either. :/

SITE NO WORK YET

because I just tried to buy as a punter and it says its sold out.

Yikes.

Which is strange as they said it would be at Islington Academy yesterday. Maybe they've got another venue lined up if they sell more tickets...

No idea if I've got tickets or not, at one point it said my card had been confirmed not sure if that's a confirmation of tockets

in it it says just to email if there's a mistake, so that's nice

saying I've got one ticket not sure if that's the one for my pledge or the one I get today... Just sent them an email to confirm...

but seeing as I only wanted one that works for me.

Time to get excited!

Got my email confirmation. Yippee!

A mix of skinny white men moaning about not getting tickets, and then loads of Mexican people talking about the murders of millions of political prisoners.

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS or something.

if anyone accidentally bought too many tickets, let me know yeah?

Can't wait for this, if any of my friends flake out and I have a spare I'll let you guys know

as per this email. anyway, i've got two, everyone's happy

Hi,

We’re emailing you because we accidentally charged you for multiple orders for Desaparecidos tickets this morning. We have now refunded your account for all mistaken charges. We processed only the first order you made today. You should have already received a confirmation email with your e-ticket code.

We are so sorry about this mistake. Please reply to this email to let us know if you have any questions.

We were overwhelmed with how many people wanted to buy tickets for Desaparecidos. We never should have underestimated how much people want to see them!

See you at the gig,
Soldiers of Songkick

Excellent. If the venue is TBA as it stands, I'd probably prefer it. Islington Academy is a dump.

HOW HUGELY FUCKING EXCITED I AM.

I DON'T THINK SHE LIKES ME, I SHOULDN'T EAT SO MUCH

Has everyone just got a code as their e-ticket?

coincidentally my marikkkopa/backsell 7" arrived today, i'd asked for the personalised message to be 'desaparecidos promise they will come play the uk straight away'

The band had tweeted more tickets to come

...

Or wants to know more, I had a chat with Ian about it here http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4145866-behind-the-screens--songkickdetour-the-future-of-live-music

More tickets on sale tomorrow too.

maybe I will get a ticket after all...

can we also do a Detour for Rocket From the Crypt please?

More tickets onsale at midday https://www.facebook.com/events/390006434410724/

Or are they just on general sale?

email. I'm a bit thick. What's happened here then? Who's the gig promoter? Was there an initial pledge to buy tickets for a certain amount followed by the gig given the go ahead.

oh yes.

Can't wait.......

This is actually not that far off. Getting a little MOIST.

Is there much new material since Read English I should try and find?

I keep forgetting it, I'm in real danger of missing this show because I forget about it on the day

of this design - in daylight and sunset versions.

Pretty chuffed to have done these to say the least. Going to hit brewdog and then actually watch a band from 'The Pit' for the first time in years.

THIS IS HAPPENING

I'm going to be down the front exploding with excitment.

be a bit of a queue to get in as it's all "no-real" tickets. I remember when The National played The Electric Ballroom a few years ago. There was a long wait to get in. I'm seeing Sarah Silverman on Saturday with also a ticket less system though that venue isn't so big. Anyway, their songs are all pretty short. What do you guys think? An hour set with around 18-ish songs?

2 new songs http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/desaparecidos-salute-the-rebels-in-anonymous-and-the-left-is-right-song-premieres-20130206

1st one sounds like andrew wk :(

Seemed a bit too nostalgic for me when tickets went on sale, but now I'm sorta interested (also there seemed to be some faff about needing to sign up through facebook to buy tickets from memory).

ticket from Songkick. That's the only place where they were available I think.

mate of mine has dropped out, Im obvs still going, but have a spare that would prefer to give to a 'true' fan rather than dragging someone along!

I can't wait to kick the shit out of the silly fangirls that will be hanging to the front row for the first 30 secs of the show

The music is way down the list.

have a spare for this! Face value, for anyone interested, send me a pm.

Power to the DiSpeoples. Well done, gang. (Sorry I missed their LA show).
