Just curious, as I got my tix today...

Magma (who tore the roof off when I saw them in San Fran '99), Anglegard (reunited after close to a decade), Camel (their final show ever, apparently), Tunnels w/ John Goodsall & Percy Jones, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum...

should kick ass!

OMG CAMEL

I have to tell Helltime about this.

Thanks for the alert.

NEARing what? irrelevance, perhaps?

i was going to go see magma, because it's 10 minutes from my house. but it's like 8 billion dollars to get in. and the rest of the bands pretty much blow.

Null,
If you didn't seen them last time they were over in the U.S. ('99, which was really their first time), I'd definitely recommend it, price be damned; they were on fire last time I saw them (and they didn't even get on stage until midnight).

and the rest of the bands pretty much blow.

?I don't know if I'd say that; if you really feel that way, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Granted, I'm not expecting anything from bands like Glass Hammer or Flower Kings, who have pretty 'retro' reputations (though to be fair, I've never heard either of them, so I'm reserving my judgment). But there will also be other bands there like Alamaailman Vasarat from Finland (their members were formerly in a band called Höyry-Kone--I have one of their albums, "Huono Parturi", which is pretty cool) and SGM from San Fran; these I am hoping will turn in some pretty interesting performances.

i checked out some of the alamaailman vasarat stuff on their site - some of it was actually pretty cool, but not really kick-ass enough to justify the cash layout. maybe magma will play some more live gigs at some point.

wish they would've had bands like nebelnest or koenji hyakkei play.
