Is she? I'm going home on Sunday but I get in fairly early on the Wednesday

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I have heard of four of those bands and have actually heard one (Chemical Brothers). I'm convinced MCD have a random band name generator that they use to bulk out announcements like this. What's a Wolf Alice? I got excited thinking it was Wolf Eyes for a second.

 

[Cormcolash]

Haha well that is pure fucking bollocks!!
Maybe the Chemical Brothers one might be some use if there are some decent supports that day. Probably get stabbed though.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Got my stab vest and my Chemical Bros ticéid.

 

[HMD]

I am gonna go to the Chemical Brothers. Never been to them before.

They used to do amazing DJ sets but I never really rated them as a live act.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I saw them in Marley Park a few years ago (with Sonic Youth supporting despite the rest of the line up being all DJs) and they were great fun.

 

[egg_]

I think that's a deadly lineup so far, fwiw. Alt-J, Caribou, Little Dragon

 

[Cormcolash]

I'D BUY THAT FOR €149.50!

Longditude looms!

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

This will impact on my Lidl runs.

 

[RayRay]

I'll be there briefly on the Friday and Saturday

I'm going on the Sat to see Alt-J and Caribou, probably will also go and see Jungle and Girl Band and Daphni. Any other recommendations?

Why are hip-hop acts so hit and miss? Pusha T's few decent tunes are overwhelmed by his tedious tough-guy schtick

 

[Theseus Mock]

On the sat, I'd recommend checking out Princess (Dublin band) and Hudson Mohawke (really dig his new record).
