Any word of support for this or are they doing a YLT style thing?

i heard something about Villagers..

If it means that Pavement have to cut their typical set length I hope that's not the case. Given that Pavement have been playing 30 song sets and Tripod have that 10:30 curfew I'd much prefer that they were given the time to be able to play that many tunes rather than have it curtailed because of the notion that there "should" be a support act. I haven't enjoyed Villagers any of the times that I've seen them play but I'd feel the same way if it was a band that I really like too.

i heard that a few weeks back and havent seen anything mentioned anywhere since, so maybe it won't happen..it would be stupid for them to cut into Pavement's time

 

[Flux]

Probably Domino flexing a bit of muscle.

 

[haribo]

fuck off villagers

That's the understatement of the century!

Let the poor man at least release his album before you all turn on him.

Being ahead of the curve is important man, even if it's being first in with the backlash.

totally, like, i preferred the album he'll release this year to the second album that he'll release in a few years time.

I for one have no gripe with Villagers, good luck to him. Not my cup of tea, but he's got a fine voice.

from Friction PR:

Villagers have been added as Special Guests to the Pavement live show bill in The Tripod, Dublin on Tuesday 4 May

The legendary Pavement make a welcome return to Ireland hot on the heels of the release of Quarantine The Past: The Best Of Pavement (Domino).

Villagers release their début album, Becoming A Jackal on 14 May in Ireland (approximate stage time 8.30pm)

The bill for the night is completed by Dublin’s Large Mound (approximate stage time 7.45pm).

 

[São Paulo Punk]

GO ON THE MOUND! Yeow!

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Deadly, the Mound were brilliant last week so this is definitely a form selection.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I think tripod bring out the worse shows in most performers, worse venue in dublin.

so there.

There's a lesson to be had here. If you write a song about somebody, record and release it, you eventually get to play a gig with them. Expect to hear a bunch of our latest new songs at this - "Mascis", "Cuomo", "Mustaine", "Young (A)", "Young (M)", "Young (N)" ....

 

[Anthony]

Actually they've nearly all been name checked in one of our songs.

 

[Unicron]

Anyone know if the band are in the country yet? Saw on the news there that the IAA might be closing the airports again due to the ash.
