Saw them last year in London and they were great.

They're doing a 3 day residency 14-16th November at Cafe Oto so I'm told, not been announced yet but the last time they did one 5 years ago they had a great lineup.

Well up for that.

I was just looking at this weekend at Oto, they're smashing it right now.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

OTO’s getting fuller this year, which on balance is good. Makes getting a seat harder tho.

 

[belboid]

This should be nice

Go Go Penguin are doing some shows of their live re-score of Koyaanisqatsi in October - we saw this a couple of years ago and it was amazing. (It's a totally new score rather than an interpretation of the Glass score btw)

That's pretty brave attempting to match one of the best scores ever!

I was dubious going into it, I have to say - I love the Glass score, and it seemed the height of hubris to try and take it on. I was pretty blown away by it in the end though.

You've got me intrigued now. Also LOVE that Glass score...

Do you know Go Go Penguin? They'd just released their album Man Made Object around the same time they originally did these shows, and thematically/musically the score borrows a lot from that - give that a listen if you want to get an idea what it would sound like.

It's not the Glass score, or that much like it (although they do have minimalist leanings) - but the extra tension created by live musicians playing along with and responding to the film kind of made up for it.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Seeing Plaid on Saturday, Hey Colossus in July, Chastity Belt in October.

 

[belboid]

grrr. Stereolab cancelled for medical reasons last night, but have just announced the re-arranged date. For the last day of my holiday, arriving into Manchester Airport at 19.25. I probably could make it, if it's a 9pm kick-off, but suspect mrsb wouldn't be so keen on that idea.

 

[ska invita]

[May Kasahara]

Would love to go to that ska invita but I'm out the following night and I fear my co-parental unit would not be appreciative.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Hmmmmmm.

 

[Anju]

Free night of live music with a couple of open mic slots then some chilled electronic music through to full on funky brass band.
