I'd be up for something if you are. I'm heading over on my own as well, don't think anyone from Limerick is interested. I'm buying the tickets + flights tonight.

Hey friends, looks like you're roomies. Paul has booked the pair of us into the red boat.

Do ye arrive on Thursday too?

 

[Gambra]

Hopefully, It looks like I'll be going Shannon-London-Stockholm and will get in about 3pm on the Thursday.

 

[Gambra]

Yup, ticket & flights booked (€8 sale going on at ryanair at the minute) so got flights for about 40euros return. Get into Stockholm itself about 4pm or so. Can't wait for this now!

Any reports back from this? Gambra?

I'll just repost what I posted to the Troniks forum.. I might write a longer reivew at some point.

Highlights: Wolf Eyes (2nd set), Hair Police (was it me or did most people leave during it?), Prurient, Emeralds, Oneohtrix Point Never, Enema Syringe, either Putrifier or Testicle Hazard (which ever one was the duo) & the record shopping.
Lowlights: Religious Knives (pretty underwhelming & they've lost a member), Ectoplasm Girls (even they looked bored out of their minds) & the general price of things in Stockholm (3euros for a bus journey?!)

Really great weekend, pretty much all the bands were great, even the ones I thought were lowlights would have been pretty good on their own outside of the fest. Weather was great, food was pretty good and staying on the top floor of the Clarion hotel was pretty posh too.

that'd be testicle hazard ... lasse marhaug and tommi keranen. i'd give my right bollock to see them (ho ho ho). putrefier is mark durgan. what kind of set did he do? he played an amazing set under his own name at colour out of space last year. stuff as mark durgan tends to be not as full on, lots of new blockaders type carry on, field recordings, junk sounds, etc, etc ... all great
