Touch&Go 25th Anniversary (1 Viewer)

[brikelly]

anyone know where this big black rumour is coming from? would be amazing if it was true.

I was at the TapeOp conference in Tucson, Arizona last weekend. Albini's studio Electrical Audio had a booth in the exhibitor's hall. Just like last year, they had a poker table set up.

Myself and my mate Donny were there getting our poker asses whipped, and he asked Albini straight out about the Big Black rumours. His answer was, "We're playing. Just a few songs, but we're playing.".

So if it turns out to be untrue, I'd be really fucking surprised. I heard it from the man's mouth myself.

If you're looking for accomodation, I'd book the Arlington hostel thing. That's where we're staying. It's dead cheap and even cheaper if you are willing to share a dorm with other gents. Keep in mind that hotels are going fast according to T&G because of some mad amount of conferences on at that time or something.

I dont think GvsB ever broke up. They released an album about 4 years ago and have played sporadic shows since then.

GIRLS AGAINST BOYS confirmed for Don't Look Back July 21st at Koko in Camden.
