bradm Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) I knew that New Order was back, but Bauhaus has started up again? Does anybody know if this is a one-off gig for them, or are they back a functioning/ongoing concern?Aloha,BradP.S. Congratulations on getting permission! And I express amazement at your ability to get the logistics sorted out in such a quick manner. Would that I were capable of such a thing... Edited April 21, 2005 by Guest Added congrats postscript.

Does anybody know if this is a one-off gig for them, or are they back a functioning/ongoing concern?Bauhaus, I don't know if they're touring or not. But GANG OF FOUR is back!! They're doing a short US tour after Coachella with a May 14 stop in Toronto...I will maybe take lots of pics and write a review for jambands.ca.... (if that is OK with Bouche)AD Edited April 21, 2005 by Guest Editing is what makes the world go round. I wonder how long my reason for editing can be? What is the secret? I won 1600 bonus Petro-Points this afternoon, that was exciting. Not really doing much at work today. Anyone got good jokes? Limit reached.

Del Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I can't say I'd travel very far to see any of those bands, but it looks like a pretty decent lineup. I'm sure it'll be a good time. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 So there's like a new band on every minute... it's like a mall of bands now. See if Tegan and Sara can sign your tits... wait?!. Have fun! And watch out for Rosco's!!! ~W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeps Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 See if Tegan and Sara can sign your tits... ~W I would like them to sign my rash! I saw Tegan and Sara last year at Folk on the Rocks in Yellowknife. This was the most irritating act I have seen in a while ... possibly ever. I'd seen them before and it wasn't this annoying, but this is how it went for me. They played up this we're sisters so we'll bicker for about 5 minutes between each song thing. Seriously stupid anecdotes about what its like to be a twin and other fascinating things like musicians meeting a lot of people and not being able to remember names and how Tegan or Sara was a knob for some inane family reason blahdy blahdy ahhhhhhh ....... Fun like thorns and vinegar. The not-so-witty banter comprised about 30% of their set. They stopped a tune about 1:45mins in when they realized one of them didn't realize what the funk they were doing? Has anyone else been through this with them?

Guest Low Roller Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Holy crap on a stick! There is tons of acts on that bill that I would travel to see, and you get them all at once! M83, Four Tet, Sixtoo, The Bravery, Stereophonics, The Prodigy, Cafe Tacuba, Keane, etc... BOOTLEG EVERYTHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) There are a lot of interesting bands this year, and plenty of bands that I personally hate. Still, this is a diverse line-up and would be well worth checking out. Don't miss The Kills: 2-piece blues-based punk outfit with a female lead singer named W, who is often compared to PJ Harvey. The Stereophonics are an excellent power-pop band - I think I'll go to their T.O. show in May. The Blood Brothers are intense as hell and a buzz band that won't go away are Canada's Arcade Fire. The Doves and Snow Patrol plus K-OS and Wilco make for a great first day. My fiance tempted me to go last year due to The Pixies, International Noise Conspiracy and Radiohead etc... Enjoy!
