The Avalanches

Next world tour date is available anywhere in the world, and your ticket also gets you CHVRCHES, Phoebe Bridgers, Pond, King Gizzard &/Or The Lizard Wizard, Charli XCX, Kaytranada, The Chats and more

the remaster sounds a little different in places to me, not quite as cluttered and cloudy at times maybe? The vinyl packaging is beautiful. Simon Reynolds’ liner notes sum up a lot of what makes this album special to me.

I might have to do that Warfield show, I never have seen them.

Live in 1999, uploaded to youtube from a fuzzy off-air VHS a year ago (three-song excerpt of a full set opens with Electricity, iirc before the 12" was out)

Live in 2021, a 50-min condensed set mixed and edited from three shows (at the same theatre) in between lockdowns. Unlisted link apparently made for the virtual festival above, might not last!

for a feel of what their shows were usually like, when Rap Fever starts in the 1999 video, switch over to this audience-shot pub take instead
