[SePP]

Cool I'm also going to try to go to EP

 

[Unicron]

Is there a Sweet Talk tent again this year?

You look pretty.

 

[CandyCulture]

Unfortunately we (CandyCollective) won't have a space at this year's event. It's a real shame as we hoped to build on what we did last year and we had some pretty unbelievable people lined up to do it, luminaries from art / design / motion graphics / movie making / music / etc. but it's not going to be I'm afraid.

Hopefully next year we'll be back, last year's space was a definite highlight of our 3 short years.

 

[rettucs]

Bobbins vibes. Missed out on last year's EP and was looking forward to this.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Town is going to be deadly this weekend with all the soggy spanners down in Punchestown.

Easy access to the bar and a much lower fuckwit factor in general.

Bring it on.

 

[Anthony]

isn't that next weekend, i'm really not sure.

Grace Jones to play the Electric Picnic

Filed under: Festivals, Live music — Jim Carroll @ 8:44 am
Oh yes, remember where you read this first. Following her awesome performance at last month’s Meltdown festival in London (rave reviews here, here and here), the peerless Grace Jones will play the sold-out Electric Picnic in Stradbally, Co Laois at the end of August. You did get tickets for it, right?
Other new additions: Joan as Policewoman, The Stunning (back, back, back again on the reunion trail), Stephanie Dosen, Dan Deacon (dude better considering moving here with all the recession euros (™ Thrill Pier) he’s making from Irish shows), Booka Shade (who were rocking at EXIT the other night) and Deadmau5

Cut and paste is great altogether
