DiS at the Camden Crawl: our Bullet Bar bill

Mike_Diver by Mike Diver [Edit this content] ▾ 8 comments 13:44 April 18th, 2008

DiS is 'doing' The Camden Crawl tonight and tomorrow, popping eight bands up on stage at the Bullet Bar on Kentish Town Road for your listening and watching pleasure.

The Bullet Bar can be found at 147 Kentish Town Road; check its own site here, and the official Camden Crawl website here.

Those attending the sold-out two-dayer will receive their schedules soon enough, upon exchanging tickets for all-important wristbands (check the official site for relevant information). But from DiS's point of view, this is what we've got cooking...

Friday, April 18
(on first) The Haunts (MySpace)
Sky Larkin (MySpace)
Johnny Foreigner (pictured, MySpace)
(on last) Wild Beasts (MySpace)

Saturday, April 19
(on first) We Are The Physics (MySpace)
Lovvers (MySpace)
Fanfarlo (MySpace)
(on last) M83 (MySpace)

Doors open at the Bullet Bar around 6pm, with first band(s) on around 6.45pm. Hope to see some of you Crawler types up our way a little later.

Thanks

Cheers for giving us a peek at tomorrow's bill. Means I can see something else in the Physics and Lovvers slots tonight. It's clash-tastic tonight.

Really annoying you have to queue for tomorrow's timetable tomorrow as well.

wtf?

Rock and fucking roll with M83 getting told to get off stage 15 minutes into the set? They must think (or rather, realise) that England is full of complete twats after that.

Really enjoyed

fanfarlo, but yeah the m83 thing was a bit of an anticlimax.

Facts

M83 showed up late. Missed soundcheck. Were OK to do a line check, and toddled off back to their hotel.

Fine, methinks.

They return. A vital piece of kit is in France still (d'oh). I am on the phone to Crawl organisers, wary of the fact that overrunning = NOT GOOD. But there's a crowd, the venue's packed. A flurry of calls and texts later and it comes down to the venue manager to make the call. He says "Cool, we're busy, have them play on."

I try depserately to find the stage manager who is nowhere to be seen (I'd spoken to him outside and asked he DOES NOT pull the band off without me telling him what's what first); crowd is so dense I can't fight to the front. Two minutes later he's on stage, pulling them off, himself also aware that unless we've the OK from the venue we can't run over.

SO: frustration all round, which could have been avoided if the band was on time and had brought the right gear. I'm truly sorry so many came and didn't get a full M83 set, but it was beyond my control.

:(

Shame, oh well - maybe next time they'll arrive on time.

Also, my previous comment was supposed to be targeted at the UKs crap licensing laws and the manager or whoever who told me they cancelled because the police told them to, not you guys.
