Bicep are doing RAH on thursday 26th of november - announced it at corsica on Sunday night (it was unreal!).

 

I assume it will be announced fairly soon, it was on a QR code on a t shirt they gave out for free as you left corsica - but they also posted a photo of the t shirt on their story which I reckon was scannable (didn't try). I assume it will be a preorder the album to get access kind of thing.

Random question for the group, anyone know a good club in Madrid where 6 guys in their late 30’s wouldn’t feel out of place, preferably on the smaller side. Big fan of places like Phonox for the London people amongst you and a similar vibe to that would be great (I appreciate this is very dependent on who is playing)

Have you got dates so we can look on RA? I'd follow the DJ personally rather than the club recommendation when abroad - will ensure that at least the musics good! The DJ is usually fairly telling of how the crowd will be

Anyone know what’s happened to Fish Octagon?

 

Seems to have disappeared from socials 

 

He posted this about a month ago, but nothing since.

Superb.


Was saying the other day I still need to tick off RAH, so this will be the perfect way to do it.

Went to see Tomora last night at EartH. Was a big queue outside well before doors opened and then an even bigger one when we joined around 7:20pm. Didn't take that long to get in and we managed to stand quite close to the front in the centre. Not sure who was DJing on warm up duties but their set was great. Really enjoyed hearing the Spiritcatcher remix of 'Starwaves' by Kirk DeGeorgio for the first time in a while but it was a lovely selection of tunes throughout.

 

They came on just before 9 and kicked off with 'Ring the alarm' which was a nice statement of intent. Tom was behind a desk full of equipment in the usual Chems style while Aurora was out front with a backing singer/dancer. I only know a couple of the tracks they've released so far but they also played 'Eve of Destruction' which went down particularly well. Lights, visuals and sound were all spot on but crowd was a bit flat. Didn't spoil our fun though and was really happy to have caught them in such an intimate setting, as you never know with these sorts of projects how long they'll be around? Think all the other live dates announced so far are outside the UK but will definitely go and see them again if the opportunity arises.

It’s not until July so way too early to look at listings yet I was just curious if anyone knew of somewhere decent. Our Glasto group have decided to go to Mad Cool and have just booked so I was excited and getting carried away but we are pretty happy to sack off the Thursday or possibly the Friday for a proper night of dancing 


thanks for the reply tho, will just keep an eye out nearer the time

They've just announced Glasgow + the Roundhouse (a second night there tbc too)

 

The support was James Holyroyd - he often opens for the chems and is a longtime mate of theirs

Yes, did spot that a little while ago which is good news! I'm also on holiday the week of the London date(s) so pretty sure we'll go again.

Did wonder if it was James Holroyd but was too dark on stage to see properly. Have caught him a few times before, most recently at the Bugged Out weekender, and he is always quality. Do remember one time though when I saw the Chems at a late night Brixton Academy show. He was on after but literally the whole crowd walked out once they'd finished, which is never nice for any DJ.

yeah he was pretty good at Bugged! gets the audience.


RE chems at Brixton - last tubes i guess, not exactly easy to follow them either! I'd probably leave too honestly

Anyone ever been to this? Line up looks pretty good.

 

Looking for a decent day festival for July and August, recommendations welcome!

This or one of the J2 events is your best bet, noting J2 is slimmed down to 2 stages this year.

 

There's also stuff at the Greenwich Naval College and Silverworks Island / Magazine Open Air, but its mostly shite. Boiler Room fest too.

 

Burgess Park is a good venue, i liked it last year.

Noticed this is now on YT -

 

 

 

Hi, appreciate this isn't about Glasto per se, but it is Glasto adjacent - and you guys all seem helpful and friendly, anyway...

 

I really enjoyed this set, was wondering if you could recommend some other sets that are in a similar vein? I guess to explain more what I enjoyed about it, the tunes being more crowd favourites rather than techno / dance tracks I don't know - the overall vibe ... hope that makes some sort of sense! Thanks in advance! 🙂

Many people on here going to Boomtown? Any scope for a meet-up? Only got a small group going so keen to meet others from here if anyone’s up for it

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
