the rolling london dancing thread

i saw jo jo whatsername from nag nag nag play electrohouse and mike dred playing v fast acid (UI stuff) in different rooms at the same time. v strange line up

Fabric was more rammed than I have ever ever seen it before and half the people downstairs seemed to be wide-eyed indie kids there for the first time and petrified of all the people asking them for pills. I can't imagine how little room there would have been in the main room, even the balcony was fairly packed!

I want to know who was playing in room 2 (? - the one where Vitalic wasn't) last, we went there after 2manydjs got too indie and it was insanely banging and fucked with my head a bit.

Photos might emerge at some point...

Get ready to party like it’s 1991 to classic
shoegazing sounds from the Velvets to the Valentines
to Ulrich Schnauss as the SONIC CATHEDRAL opens its
doors for worship on JOHN PEEL DAY, Thursday October
13. Appropriately, there’s a very rare live outing for
JIM REID, former frontman of Peel favourites The Jesus
And Mary Chain, plus one of the first UK appearances
from Australia’s THE MORNING AFTER GIRLS. On the decks
are THE TELESCOPES, who have promised some Peel
treats, and some very special SURPRISE GUESTS.

they're doing nights in Brighton before then too - might check out the one on the 24th September.

I am half thinking of booking a flight over.

is anyone else up for magda/hawtin/villalobos on nov 19th? if not then i may have to ysi the hawtin/villalobos essential mix, as i find it hard to believe that anyone who's heard that wouldn't want to come along...

I want to come for definite, and can get the time off, and I'm mostly feeling better, but not 100 percent and was kind of thinking that it might be wise to wait until I am really feeling absolutely better before going out for a long night like it will be.

But I might change my mind, and I could be feeling better by next Friday and then regret my initial decision!

29th oct, hackney

yeah, it did stick an extra 4 quid or so on, which was pretty annoying. not sure if you get to queue-jump, but the ticket claims guaranteed entry if you turn up by one, and i like the idea of being able to show up at half 12 rather than queue at 11, esp as the late end means i'd rather not start until 1, anyway. also it was a way of making myself go, rather than wimp out at the last minute.

the house party i was going to go to looks like it might be a bit shit, so i think i might concentrate my efforts on fabricking.

PS:Ricky was Konrad Black DJing or live?

konrad black was djing, ronan. you should come to magda/richie/ricardo at fabric on nov 19th.

It's a shame about this weekend I really want to see M.A.N.D.Y. I will definitely think about Magda/Richie/Ricardo though. Just didn't want to pay for a flight and make the effort of going over while I'm still not really feeling the best.

going to jan jelinek and raumschmiere the night before, at cargo. gonna leave before raumschmiere tho.

G, come to fabric!

whats the deal with tickets? can you really just waltz in? or, which queue do you have to join?

i might NOT be coming now, as i missed my train to london (AGAIN!) due to forgetrting tio take my booking number, and another single was 50 quid. will see how much things are from sheffield, opr consider megabus tomorrow, and scope it out. also, i missed getting advance tickets which have sold out

but im listening to tonetrager !welcome back kotter" now and thinking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guido schnieder and alex smoke are playing in leeds tomorrow but it wouldnt be as good as fabric. or would it????

gareth, lex, persuade me...

if tonight, do you expect it to be good?

im not going now. £50 for a single!!!

might try for hawtin etc in Nov though..
enjoy, people

I haven't slept yet. Instead when I got back I read the new Bret Easton Ellis novel. All of it, in one go. My mind feels a bit weird now.

matt - THERE WERE LASERS IN ROOM ONE! possibly there have always been and i hadn't noticed.

green velvet was the best thing ever basically. esp, it has to be said, the 2nd half (after lex and cis went to see luciano) - flash, war on the saints, la la land and the lasers. i will say more about this tomorrow when i can make sense of it.

booka shade - live drumming which was actually good!

umm i need to sleep a lot more before i can say anything more, really.
