I saw Decemberists at ATP and enjoyed the whole "sit down" thing, until I was informed that they did it every gig. The I felt used.

See? This is a pointless post!

yeah I was there

and saw it coming so refused to sit down, I was fairly near the front and felt conspicious so bowed to pressure and knelt. Its a gimmick they stole from when the unicorns supported them apparently.

Brilliant

why is everyone missing out Bristol all of a sudden?

I sat down at ATP and it nearly killed me. 3 days of standing up and some buggers tell you to sit down then stand up straight away - my poor knees and back.

Great show though.
Bit of a pisser they're not coming to Birmingham, if only if it were a major city then maybe some bands would consider playing there. Oh well, could always travel to Nottingham with their 10pm return trains. Sigh
