The CAN Project

Recommended Posts

This is the big catch of the day really, isn't it? Amazing booking, I'll definitely be there. Taking the time between now and June to delve deeper into their back catalogue.

On a related note, is the other Can fella, Damo Suziki worth going to see? He's playing Ramsgate Music Hall in August

I missed him in London last time 'cause it was on the same night as Swans but a couple of friends went. Apparently it was basically an hour long jam, but with Bo Ningen as his band. Ticket prices are pretty low IIRC, they reckon it was worth it.

Nice, thanks for that. I love Ramsgate Music Hall, think it's only a tenner or so, so fuck it, yeah, I'll go. Cheers CHRLY

Awaiting @CHRLY's review... Twitter seems generally positive about it. 2 drummers to replace the late Jaki is a fitting tribute.

I've been mulling it over. I got to see Malcolm Mooney & Irmin Schmidt part of a band performing Can songs. They all sounded pretty great and you could tell they were pleased to be there. It sort of felt more like Thurston Moore's project than anything though. It's a massive shame Jaki couldn't be there, they said at the start that he was really looking forward to it. 

They didn't play anything from Tago Mago/Ege Bamyasi/Future Days though, and they are by far and away the best records they ever put out (imo). I probably shouldn't have expected it considering Damo was nowhere near but I can't help feeling that I haven't really seen Can. After all, the reason they are so important is because of that trio of albums. 

That being said, the songs from Monster Movie and Sountracks did sound good, especially She Brings The Rain, Mother Sky and You Doo Right. 

If you're a fan then I'd definitely say go to see them at Glastonbury, just not with expectations like I had last night.

Cheers @CHRLY, that is extremely good to know. As you say, quite a different beast if they're not playing anything from that trio. Strange that they should play Mother Sky but nothing else that Damo sang on.

I note they played Thief, the one Can song that Radiohead once covered...

I went last night and I really enjoyed it. I saw most of the Q and A session at the start which was more of a panel discussion about the history of Can than anything else. Rob Young has written the complete story and its out next year. He said that Damo was not particularly interested in engaging with him as its still all about what's happening "now". The LSO concert was great and it was fun picking out the Can themes in the first half. The Can Project were simply excellent. Having two drummers did it for me. I thought they did a brilliant job overall even if on times it sounded more like The Velvet Underground than Can. Not to be missed.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
