we're playing London and Glasgow. The roundhouse and the Barrowlands. That's all I can say now unfortunately.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 16:17 (nine years ago) link
I think that might be a joke... I mean I'd be really happy for Prolapse if they are playing the Roundhouse, but

Ya never know. What about Mick's first tweet there?

Oh I'm very much hoping that part is true

I can confirm.

I just need Urusei Yatsura to reform and play 3 nights at Brixton Academy now.

The dates are supporting 'another band'. Announcement next week apparently. It's Mogwai I think, if I'm reading Mick's response to my tweet correctly: https://twitter.com/DERRYMICK/status/552874406134169604

Ahhh well that makes sense then. Sorry I just couldn't imagine that 5000 people would be going to see Prolapse, as much as I love them. I mean, I was surprised when I saw Swans were playing at that venue, it seemed too big for them even.
I only saw Prolapse once - in Reading (not the festival), '97 I think. They were awesome.

I saw them once too, in Oxford (at the Point, RIP) on the Italian Flag tour. It was intense. Great live band.
I'd love to see them again but maybe not as a support act in a big venue. Still, exciting news anyway.
― club mate martyr (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 8 January 2015 10:58 (nine years ago) link
I've no doubt they'll do some headline shows too, but with all the will in the world they won't be huge venues. There does seem to be a lot of residual love in the ether, which I'm finding hugely gratifying :)
― Background Zombie (CharlieNo4), Thursday, 8 January 2015 10:59 (nine years ago) link
xpost yeah that would've been the same time I saw them - it was '97 cos I'd just graduated from uni - probably the next or previous night on the tour!
Yeah I'll prob skip seeing them supporting Mogwai tbh if they're going to play any other gigs.

...Now I think about it it was the Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes tour. The Italian Flag Oxford date got wrapped up into a Sound City show with Dubstar (!) at a larger venue and I went to see a SC "fringe" event instead.
(This post is only of interest to me but I didn't want to confuse any imaginary random googlers trying to remember which date they'd been at)
― club mate martyr (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 8 January 2015 11:30 (nine years ago) link
this is excellent news - I've got no interest in Mogwai but will likely go - Prolapse were great live (Leicester gigs for me).
― woof, Thursday, 8 January 2015 11:52 (nine years ago) link
I was at that Sound City gig with Dubstar, I remember John Peel hanging around at the aftershow party. Prolapse had clearly been told not to swear on air prior to the show, so naturally Scottish Mick's first words were:
"Oh shit, I said shit".

I'd never heard/heard of Prolapse until someone (from ILX I think) recommended The Italian Flag and by golly did I listen to it a ton this year.

someone at work mentioned it but couldn't remember the venue. in my excitement i completely forgot that you don't check twitter for 'prolapse'.

Aww yeah. Anyone know how big the venue is?
Trying to guess how soon I need to work out whether I can go to this...
― club mate martyr (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 16:57 (nine years ago) link

Brighton last night was fantastic. An absolute joy to put them on. Lots of Leiester in that room for a Tuesday on the south coast.

Saw them supporting Mogwai at the weekend, they sounded fantastic and went down really well... except for bloke standing next to me who turns to his mate and says "what the fuck is this? This is the worst shite I've heard in my life [glances at me] you like this shite?"

Something new from Michael Derrick. Bit weird, bit mad, bit low quality.

Ack one ticket for gig tonight at Oslo in Hackney but I can’t go. Any takers? You just need a dice account and I’ll send it to you. If you’re a London ilxor just buy me a pint sometime (probably greater than face value as things stand so maybe a half). Ilx mail works - slightly busy afternoon but post here and send a mail and I’ll try to make it work.
