Yes, dammit. WHERE IS IT? Although there's not much I don't have in some form or other.

lol that's worse

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

How about some dates that are NOT at Festivals?

You know, for those of us that wanna see the Mary Chain, but don't want to pay overinflated ticket prices to wade through a bunch of other crap?

Or do non-Festival gigs just not pay enough to provide the beer habit necessary to make them get on with each other.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

I DONT WANNA SEE THEM IN THE DAYTIME!

― Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe there will be a secret warm up gig at the 100 Club.

I haven't got any inside information, I'm just saying, like.

― PJ Miller, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

There's a big gap before the Connect Festival where I'd expect them to schedule some UK gigs.

That said, I think there's every chance they'll be twatting each other with guitars before they reach Spain and it won't matter.

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:42 (nineteen years ago)

SECRET GIG AT SONIC CATHEDRALS, PLS!!!!

The infamous 'riot' at North London Poly, with Bobby G. looking very youthful.

that's one of my favorite videos ever you know

― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 7 April 2007 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

so i havent really gotten a good idea...should i go see them live in NYC or are they going to be old lamers?

― buyabiznatch, Saturday, 21 April 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

They'll be at the Glasshouse next thursday. I'd much rather see them there than in Indio.

― van smack, Saturday, 21 April 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

They're one of my 4 or 5 favorite bands, and yet I have virtually no interest in seeing them live...

― Spencer Chow, Saturday, 21 April 2007 22:45 (nineteen years ago)

no i hate rock and roll. shame. that was the only time they they mustered any conviction when i saw them on their last tour.

― cw, Friday, 27 April 2007 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder if it was http://www.anniemusic.co.uk/

oh boy oh boy oh boy

― StanM, Friday, 27 April 2007 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

OK, it was Annie Hardy from Giant Drag.

― StanM, Friday, 27 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

It was a good show. I'm not the biggest fan of them, so I didn't know most of the songs. Jim sang on "Cracking Up" and forgot the first line, so they had to restart it. My friend said that the bassist from Lush and the drummer from Ride were playing with them. Yes, it was Annie (not from Norway) instead of Scarlett Johannson. Their new song sounded just like their old songs, and had lyircs like "every day I wake might be the last...every drug I take might be the last..."

But yeah, they sounded good, and played "Just Like Honey" and "Head On" which is all that mattered.

― naus, Saturday, 28 April 2007 02:26 (nineteen years ago)

updated link to the brillian riot clip on youtube

― tricky, Saturday, 28 April 2007 03:05 (nineteen years ago)

That clip was awesome, I love Jim Reid's arrogance. I have an interview with him in Sydney where he's totally "we're the best" about the JAMC, I think it is sweet.

― Trayce, Saturday, 28 April 2007 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

They really lost their sh*t sometime during Automatic. Everything just started to sound like a contrived imitation of themselves.

― Spencer Chow, Saturday, 28 April 2007 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

Scarlett DID sing with them at Coachella!

one month passes...

anyone go to meltdown last night?

― koogs, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

it's tonight:

http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/meltdown/jesusmarychain.html

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

(that's in about two and a half hours, if my time zone guess is right)

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

and that's only the support band (The Pastels) - if you're anywhere near London, you can still get there (if it isn't sold out)

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:00 (eighteen years ago)

ITV really ought to stage a Saturday night special named Jesus And Mary Chain Mania, compered by Zoe Ball.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

FYI, London people who could still get there: on stage time according to a fan site:
Pastels 7:30-8:10
JAMC 8:30 (3 hours and a half to go)

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:03 (eighteen years ago)

LOLZ! Thanks v much Stan, I am now going tonight :D

I had to - the Pastels are supporting!

― Colonel Poo, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:06 (eighteen years ago)

(oh no, if they suck it'll be my fault now)

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

I will hold you personally responsible.

― Colonel Poo, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:34 (eighteen years ago)

*hides*

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

It is well sold out, BTW.

― PJ Miller, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

It is well not sold out.

― Colonel Poo, Friday, 22 June 2007 16:50 (eighteen years ago)

what happened to the 1990s support slot?

that said, pastels + mary chain = my dream bill albeit 15 years too late (and £20 too expensive)

also, main act on at 8:30?

(d'oh on the date)

― koogs, Friday, 22 June 2007 17:13 (eighteen years ago)

1990s are playing AFTER the JAMC according to the discussion on this fan forum:

http://sct.amniisia.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3041&start=52

― StanM, Friday, 22 June 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

OK, there were no tickets available via the RFH website last week and tickets going for big(ger) money on eBay, so I assumed it was sold out. My apologies.

Anyway, who will Report Back?

Only 15 years, Koogs?

― PJ Miller, Saturday, 23 June 2007 08:01 (eighteen years ago)

i saw two of the encores- 'vegetable man' and 'you trip me up'. sounded great. band looked miserable.

― stirmonster, Saturday, 23 June 2007 11:15 (eighteen years ago)

Did they play "April Skies"???

― Spencer Chow, Saturday, 23 June 2007 11:50 (eighteen years ago)

No April Skies, I'm afraid. Setlist was something like this:

Never Understand
Head On
Far Gone and Out
Sidewalking
Snakedriver
Catchfire
Happy When It Rains
Dead End Kids* (old Freeheat/Jim solo song)
Some Candy Talking
Between Planets
Blues From a Gun
Cracking Up
All Things Must Pass
Teenage Lust
Just Like Honey
-----------------
Reverence
Vegetable Man
You Trip Me Up

*Not sure when this was played in the set - am fairly sure it was around this point

Mystery lady (definitely not Scarlett Johanson) on Just Like Honey. I was right up in the balcony so I had no idea who.

― Bocken Social Scene, Saturday, 23 June 2007 12:09 (eighteen years ago)

it was Nina Persson from the Cardigans - more here:

You're probably right and I just got lucky with returns. I got a seat right by the stage on the left hand side underneath the boxes.

Pastels sound was a little muddy at first, but they played Nothing To Be Done so I was happy. JAMC did look a bit miserable, but well that's to be expected! No storming offstage like last time I saw them.

― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 23 June 2007 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

Catchfire

omfg this is probably one of my all-time favorite songs
