'hosts'?

It's not like it's secret that they'll do glasto, as Avalanches tweeted it months ago.

haha one day I'll manage to post on here with my phone without a typo!

yeah I know, just thought it was funny how unsubtle West Holts were! Also must mean the poster is very close as I remember the WH facebook page getting quite vocal in the week or two leading up to last year's poster dropping

How long a slot d'ya reckon they'll get? Avalanches are a must see for me, it'd be great if they got over an hour, maybe 1 hr 15 minutes? Their recent setlists have looks wicked too - can't wait to have a cold cider and boogie

All the acts who played 3rd down WH last year got an hour so imagine they'll get the same.

What was 2001 like? We're they mixing other things live and playing over the top or was it just their own stuff? 

it was some stuff from the album, but also a lot of mixing.

It was the days before 2manydjs took the same ideas mainstream (so it probably doesn't sound so odd today) but one thing I remember was Madonna's 'like a virgin' being mixed together with bob dylan's 'like a rolling stone', which was mind-blowing cos I'd never heard stuff like that being done until then.

These are up there with seeing Radiohead for me, it's gonna be world class. Cider and sun watching the avalanches will be bliss. Hopefully Danny Brown will be on the farm on the Saturday as well and join them for his verses on Frankie Sinatra

damnmit, Tuesday ... I'll be in the cv field by then.

(in other Brizzle news, Stapleton Road is dreadsville/weedville central right now [just walked down there] ... it's Dutty Ken's funeral  )

 

'Right now'?

it was at the time I posted it ... I guess they've moved onto the wake now, till 4am at the Star & Garter. Dutty Ken would thoughly approve of that, I reckon.

And yes, Stapleton Road is often dreadsville/weedville, but in the 5 years i've lived nearby I've never seen that many dreads or clouds of smoke.

Most definitely! 

Haha was only joking, in all honesty it's definitely a part of Bristol I need to explore more.

they try to do parody via an exaggeration, and don't realise just how much they've understated it. 

It's just about compulsory everywhere I go.

I've not lived down that way for nearly 30 years, but it doesn't sound like it's changed much.  If anything the rest of the country has been catching up.

I love the Daily Mash's coverage of the city though:

Oh man, that Tuesday gig date is a killer. If I didn't have to leave from an hour North of Bristol at 5 on the Wednesday morning I'd be all over this.

Oh well, I'll just pray for no clashes!

Jamaicans have a 9 day wake! They have it Sussed 

[the wonderwhy]

Further confirmation of what we already know - they've just listed their Down The Rabbit Hole date as Sunday 25th

Fair play, spose I could have checked that myself, ha! Cheers!

They were on stage for about an hour at Field Day, though I heard their stage plans were heavily compromised due to Visa issues so I'm interested to see what happens this summer, I enjoyed what I saw at Field Day though, the crowd were hungry for their big songs and the rest meandered around quite nicely.

I made a playlist for them on Spotters from their last couple of shows in January or Feb - they were near identical and it lasts exactly an hour with all the major songs in there. Guess they could cut out one song just so they could have more banter with the crowd. Do they speak a lot during their set or they a set up and play with nothing in between type group?

[Keithy]

Got myself booked in for The Avalanches at Bristol Motion on Glastonbury Eve. Removes a potential clash for me. Anyone else doing it?

[Homer]

What's the score? They are playing the Sat? I'm liking the new album, it suits the current weather.
