Got British Sea Power ticket for my birthday yesterday. Chuffed.

Take it that's Brighton date?

Yep

Any early info on Together the People line up?

SFA listed on ticketmaster....official news later tonight I understand. One of you lot must know more? Spill the beanage.

John Grant announced 1 of only 2 English shows at the Dome today. £25.50 though. Ouch!

What is Together the People? The line up on Ticketmaster looks shit for £45 and is it full of people who aren't going to be very interested in SFA? Gutted they didn't just announce a Dome date - their last gig there was one of the best shows I've seen.

You're not wrong. I can not get my head round PSB's popularity, I thought their gimmick had one album in it, tops. Everytime I see them listed above British Sea Power on the bill for that festival in Tunbridge Wells, a bit of sick comes in my mouth.

Where can you see the line up for Together The People, and are you saying the Super Furries are playing at it? Have you got a link?

Cheers SHC.

Yes, an odd line up. But SFA in Brighton for £45 is much cheaper than the £32 plus all things London that I recently paid, so I will be there.

I like Ghostpoet too, and a mate is in The Levellers (not that I'm a fan, but don't tell him that...), so all good.

Actually, that's a very fair point.

As was the one about them playing The Dome!

But, is it worth the fact that it being a one day festival thing means there'll be loads of wankers there (possibly!)?

I will wear blinkers.

 

[atomised]

It's a 2 day festival though on the 5th and 6th

But each day is ticketed separately, so I will not need to go to both.

 

[atomised]

True enough but currently ticketmaster lists the same acts both days so there is no info on day splits as far as I can tell

Yes, but they are not on sale yet as far as I can tell. I'm sure they'll tell us who is on which day before they try to sell them!

 

[atomised]

Hope so. Think it's going to be quite a tough sell. Seems a lot of crossover with the festival at Tunbridge wells

 

[Tarpon]

Weekend tix on sale now via C2. No single day tix yet.

Saw Hot Chip in a little quaint theatre in Neukolln last night. I've seen them a few times and this was by far the best, and a front runner for my gig of the year. They were just superb and I had a really fun crowd around me just intent on dancing. Even one of them overly protective boyfriend types broke and started jigging after a few songs. The band seemed to really enjoy as well and Alexis Taylor is a fun, if little, front man and even he was busting moves at the end.

Oh, and they ended their 90 minute set with a cover of Dancing in the Dark.
