Apparently they named their band after Alexis Fire, the world's only lactating contortionist stripper.

I thought this might be a thread suggesting that Them Crooked Vultures might replace them for their main stage appearance... bit greedy having two sets.

I always used to think it was the former, til I found out it was the latter

[chappiepunk]

i dont even remember asking this question...

Im confused as to how they choose the band who does 2 sets. What makes alexisonfire so deserving. Not a criticsm of them but dont get why they should play 2 sets and everyone else one. Also why not hae someone from the nme tent or fr stage doing the double set, why is it always a lock up band? To me its lazy booking.

100% agree

I could understand the whole Jimmy Eat World one. There a band who have a mainstreem following because of 3 or 4 well known songs and they have a large cult following, therefore its a good idea to have them do a small set on the main stage of their hits and then let them do a longer set inthe tent of all of the other songs.

Anti Flag did it too last year didn't they?

[Matticus]

well i think it makes sense, since i know the mainstage set will comprise of mainly the new album and the previous album tracks, which were both big departures from thier older, more scream based sound. i can see the lock up stage set being a bit of an old school one for the alexisonfire fan.

cant wait, saw them in thier first venture over here about 5 years back and they were shite, but everytime ive seen them, theyve improved and are now a good live act. Would be nice to see the older stuff played with todays live set up.
