Travel problems nixed the Rex Club appearance (if my dodgy French serves me correctly). Anyone know more about the TBC gig in Metz on October 1st?

french air traffic control strike prevented us getting to paris. the metz gig isn't happening but we are back in paris in november.

Oh damn, Making Time/snacks mailing list says Optimo is doing Philly again in January!! CAN IT BE TRUE!?
― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 29 December 2010 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link
they're playing NY on the 7th so it's highly likely.
― jed_, Friday, 31 December 2010 13:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Optimo DJ'd at Bowlie 2 the other week after the bands, first time I had any exposure to them tbh, it was brilliant. Best DJ set of the weekend.

they're in DC the first week of January so I presume all East Coast rumours are true.
― Gukbe, Friday, 31 December 2010 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
99% certain we're doing philly. just waiting to hear for sure. it will go up here in the next day or two - http://www.optimo.co.uk/shows/
colonel poo - glad you enjoyed the bowlie set. i tried to play a different kind of set from usual that would maybe appeal to an indie(esque) audience without being indie.
