Yes Yes, the LOLRUS demands your presence at the ILX Festival 17th June at the Brixton Windmill

I'd like to have come to this. Enjoy people! Break a leg to performers!*

*I'm taking that it's like actors? Otherwise, best of luck...

who did the poster??? that is marvellous....

Kate did.

"to have come"? But it is in THE FUTURE!!!

ha ha, if you'd wanted to be really naughty, Ed, you could have done it as a poll, and then people could have voted for which band they were most excited about seeing. (Not that I could have picked, mind you.)

x-post thanks!

Yes, that's a great poster!

I can't come to this, but I really wish I could. I hope it will be brilliant.

Stupid Ireland! Stupid sea in between me and ILX festival!

harness a walrus or a pair of porpoises for the trip.

you should have singstar between bands.

why does the poster say it's an album?

Because there is AN ALBUM as well! it is the release party for the ILX comp! That was the point of it in the first place!

(but only if Ken C finishes his track in time.)

omigod, Singstar between bands - I will try to get Lisa to bring theirs!

(But I will NOT sing against her or AMP because I invariably harmonise with them, and therefore lose.)

ooooooooooooh! (xpost)

(and it's a great poster indeed, btw)

WAHT. i only suggested it because i thought you'd say no. i'd possibly consider coming to this if there were singstar.

Are tickets likely to be necessary?

sorry for another stupid question, but what does the KMF right under its nose mean?

Me & the mister have train tickets now. Still got to get *actual* tickets... unless we can buy them on the door?

I've only just noticed the KMF... is it Kate's initials? A signature for the artwork?

What the??? Is Brixton in the middle of a maze or something?

(it was just an idea I had, I don't think I'll be able to make it, won't be sure if I'll have to work on Sunday until shortly before the weekend itself :-/ )

OMGLMAO! KMF = Klaus M. Flanger?

There will definitely be tickets for ILX0rs on the door. However, if you are coming from far away, I would reccomend buying advance tix.

If Singstar means teh kit will come, we will have singstar.

Stan, those directions are wacky. Just get on the A23 from London and head south. Blenheim Gardens is the road before the prison. If you hit Brighton, you've gone too far.

KMF = KLAUS M. FLANGER, DO YOU SEE?!?!?

x-post.

If you are coming from within London and you are scared of South London, DON'T BE, it is really easy.

Take the Victoria Line to Brixton (no, you will not need a passport to go Sarf of the river) turn left out of the station and walk down to the second or third bus stop. Busses which will take you to the Windmill:

45, 59, 159, 133, 333, 250, 50, 109, 118 - anything that goes up Brixton Hill.

It's the third or fourth stop past Brixton Centre - there's a minimart and a funeral parlour on the corner.

Hehehe, are you signing everything as Klaus from now on? I like this. I imagine Klaus to have a lolrus moustache:

http://www.kosmikradiation.com/can-czukay.gif

I've written it down in my calendar and will be thinking about it until I know if I can make it - would be a great time to see a real life ilxor in the fle,well,clothes, since I haven't met any yet. :-)

That's Holger not Klaus!

That is LOLger not Klaus, but yes. In fact, I think Klaus has a Lemmy.

(Man, I should have called myself LOLger.)

Klaus should do guest appearances with some of those acts, Timbaland/Dr.Dre style.

MC KMF in der Haus!l

Dada - krautrock factchecking R us.

(Actually, KMF is my user name at work - my middle initials are actually MC but 4 letters wouldn't fit.)

Ooh just before my birthday! I might might come if I can give Alice the slip somehow :)

Don't you have family in Streatham Hill who can babysit her for the afternoon?

Blimey StanM - you live near me, I had no idea. FAP?

I think I'll be able to come to this - school nights are quite tricky at the moment but I'll see what I can do. I need to see the mighty Vietgrove if nothing else.

Also, those directions will get you to the *actual* Windmill, not the pub, the Windmill.

bring alice archel!

ken, should i come to this?

you should!

singstar, g-kit!

Blimey StanM - you live near me, I had no idea. FAP?

you live near step 29 of my itinerary, I'm in Mechelen, Belgium :-/

Oh, that makes sense, then - it's trying to send you round the south London Circular. It is pretty much all one long road, it's just called a million different things. Ed would be better to consult on the art of driving there from Belgium as he has done it recently.

Really, you just want to get on the A23 which is the main artery from Brighton/the coast to London - the Windmill is just off the A23.

from belgium just take the train to waterloo and then get the bus.

Or do what Ken C says. The 59 is your beast.

That's Holger not Klaus!

But Klaus Dinger doesn't have a lolrus moustache. And curiously enough, I have no photos of Klaus M. Flanger.

from belgium just take the train to waterloo and then get the bus

Which Waterloo tho?

only the N59 goes to Waterloo in Belgium...

lol

I'm in London that weekend but I'll be on the train home by the time this starts. It'd be nice to see you all for a FAP on the Friday though.

xxpost so THAT'S where i ended up when i fell asleep on the N59

Yes, that would certainly explain why it took me 7 hours to get home from my work's xmas party last year.

Don't rock. Wobble.

we will all has bucket!

Email sent.

Great. I only wish I was in a band!

Bring your balalaika!

i will come to this. and lurk.

It's not big enough to lurk, you will be outed.

He could hide in the back, by the BBQ. (And be hidden by one of the large dogs.)

well it's about time for an outing and brixton is as good a location as any. x-post

there are large dogs? AWESOME

There is ROOFDOG and there is BIG FURRY FLOPPY DOG. They are both excellent. And always begging for sausages at BBQs.

(Now we will really know how to find you! You'll be the person we don't recognise feeding sausages to the dogs.)

(I wonder if ROOFDOG is related to Ceiling Cat.)

yup. sausages, burgers, kofte kebabs will all find its way toward floppy dog. and if anyone is wondering where their harmonica is....

YAY!

Tonight, tonight, the highway's bright

Out of our way mister you'd best keep

YAY!!

Let me know when the lineup is complete, and I'll do you a new LOLRUS.

(Unless you passionately want to do yr own. in which case I shall demure.)

hehe i might have a go myself first (i love doing these flyer things!) but if it turns out crap i might need your help cos the original LOLRUS was awesome!

ALSO: is it too late for ILX has a bucket vol 4 to coincide?

probably is since we only have 2 months..

Well, I'd say go, but it seems quite soon after Vol 3.

There seems a 2 yeargap between vols, and last one was particularly good.

I know, you missed out being on it, so did I!

Hi dere!

Can't believe this is actually happening! Less than a month after the long shot "will this happen again?" post.

I think I have now got emails from everyone and so we have the lineup

- Red Bull Dozers
- Autorotation
- Vietgrove
- Gooblar
- Joe Brooker
- The Chemistry Experiment
- A Nation Mourns

This is v. exciting.

I'll send an email to all soon to arrange the details with stage times, equipment and all that jazz!

will this happen again?

just saying, like.

Whoa! time passes!

New intros or not or...?

When I said NEVER AGAIN, I meant... well, erm, maybe... I've got this new singer I've been working with, and we do these HILARIOUS electro-bosh versions of indie anthems...

If I happens again maybe it's time for a new venue though.

Also, no Aut0r0t@t10n twunts which would cut down on 1000% of faffage, hah!

srsly

haha do you hate them now?

xpost

where can be a good venue though.. do you think the harrison will have us?

dunno why i said that actually.

Of course I hate them! They sacked me ages ago! Ha ha ha.

hahahahaha oops

i liked the afternoon outdoorsy vibe of the past ones. but we need a venue that doesn't expect us to pack the place with a 'headliner' at 22:00 sunday night.

Wembley it is, then.

Wembley tube station...

Ken C, the buskers' friend.

flashmob

a tube station gig would have been a great idea actually if it happened before boris' booze ban.

Isn't it only on the tube trains themselves that you can't drink? Or does the ban extend to the stations as well?

stations as well

You know, you can still drink on the overground. At least I'm pretty sure you can on the Thameslink.

SUTTON LOOP PARTY, ANYONE??!?!?

You can still drink on the overground, that wasn't covered by the ban.

I read an article about how zero people have actually been arrested for drinking on the tube since the ban came in. I used to occasionally pour a beer into a soft drink bottle to take on but since reading that I don't bother. Never encountered any problems.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO, Colonel Poo

guess there's not enough interest for this year.

Memories...

gigs were so much cheaper back in the days

"sit outside", ah what a wag I was, lol, etc.

it seems to be just us two who remember this event now.

, and I wasn't even there!

(I was going to be, was going to be onstage for the first time since 1996 or thereabouts, but a) it was Fathers Day, and 2) Amber was singing in a schools choir performance at the local theatre, so it would have been a really bad look if i'd have not been there.

I went to this, for a bit.
