LCD Soundsystem....

[Handshake]

Hi all,

Ive been reading these forums for a while, but never posted.

Ive heard from someone reasonably well connected to the barrowlands that LCD will be playing there in December.  Apparently it's being kept completely under wraps and tickets will only be available very close to the gig.

im hoping that this proves true, however not looking forward to the inevitable scramble for tickets.

I like the cut of your jib.

December gigs might even mean Christmas Will Break Your Heart will be played. I hope this is true!

Man I hope they play Rock City. It's a shame there's probably a 0.1% chance it will happen.

Need to start a savings pot in case the missus and I have an emergency trip to Glasgow to pay for!

I saw them at Electric Picnic too. It was great but it didn't have the same sense of occasion as their Glastonbury set. I'm starting to think that night really was a once in a lifetime type thing. Anyway here's a good video someone shot from onstage of Someone Great

I've been looking for a reason to visit Glasgow!!

Damn thought that was a new tour/album/single announcement 

[Gucci Piggy]

Completely forgot we're still waiting on tour dates from these. I reckon we'll now be waiting until after new material; doesn't seem like more 2016 dates are gonna happen.

[karaseen]

Sorry.  I've not been on the ball recently.  Came here to look for news myself and the barrowlands post was news to me.

I had one of them but blew it in Berlin going to watch New Order and Radiohead. So much for turning into a responsible adult. Might as well wait till I am 40 now.

Going to this tonight at what used to be Barfly (is now called Camden Assembly FYI)... so maybe that source was on the ball when they said LCD activity in October!

Will be interesting to see how a band attempt to pull off a set of LCD covers (I'll be impressed if they have three people drumming at the same time!). Anyway, was only £5 and an excuse to head up to Camden. Will report back!

... pretty hard it would appear! Just hit the link and noticed that the band roped in to do the covers appears to have changed since a couple of weeks back when I bought my ticket!

Great stuff! What did you make of it?

[Aiden]

Right with a new album and tour next year combined with several members affinity with the festival what are the chances of them returning next year in some capacity?

James, Al or Pat DJ set in Block 9 or Shangrila?
Secret set to showcase new material?
A combination of all of the above?

[fatyeti24]

it's been many a year sice Al Doyle wasn't performing in some capacity.

[Amy Lawn]

I reckon they'll be at far fewer festivals next year, exclusive headline somewhere; Bestival, Green Man or Latitude all seem likely candidates.

[Homer]

Seems a sound strategy. Blanket bomb a 'greatest hits' (yes, I know) set, then take a more measured approach with new material. Going over old ground a year later doesn't seem particularly smart (and I reckon they think about that stuff).

very low. James and Pat don't really DJ together anymore sadly.

only chance would be despacio back but I doubt they will repeat it at a festival. They havent had any repeat festival outings for despacio, if they've done one its been a new one each time.

they won't play any gigs again without new material. I feel certain of it.

I'm thinking of starting a new band and inviting Al Doyle to play on it.  I say 'band', I'm just going to write some songs and get Al to play all the parts.  I say 'write', I'm really planning on getting Al to do it all.  

So basically, I'm just going to tweet Al Doyle and ask him to do a solo album.

Somewhere that isn't a nightmare to get to would be nice. Or maybe that's part of the charm.
