Space-wise, I'm not sure how this is going to work out unless they co-opt T.T. The Bear's as well.
This could well be all they need, really. But how much does the club hold on its own?
Just to let you all know (not like I won't post about it nearer to the date), but ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE and SURFACE OF ECEON are playing at my school in early March--in the same week!

What is this 'try' nonsense? YOU WILL BE THERE. And your girlfriend as well, young disciple. We will teach you in The Ways of Food Appreciation, among other things.

It's like Otis got an evil twin or something. ;-)
if damon and naomi whore ghost to their slack, flaccid music this year, i'm going to shoot them. you heard it here first.
Probably not this time based on T4. Not the bands hate each other -- what happened was that D/N played a set backed by Ghost, and then the plan was that Ghost would play their own set. Unfortunately nobody realized exactly how seriously Seattle takes the 2 am curfew -- 2 am rolls around, that's IT, and the club was strict on this point. Everyone had genially gone over time in the usual way without realizing this -- this was the first night -- and as a result, everybody got squashed up at the other end.
So after D/N/Ghost had done a fair bit of stuff, they were pulled aside and the situation explained. So Ghost took the stage on their own with literally only ten minutes left. The result was this monster ten- minute fuck-you, fuck-me, fuck-EVERYBODY live improv jam/smash rampage, just letting all the frustrations out over not being able to do anything any more. It was great!
Anyway, I suspect that with that in mind, the organizers are 1) going to verify when they have to shut down each night, 2) keep everyone on schedule this time around from the start and 3) make sure Ghost don't play at the end of the evening!
and there are far too many dull lite-psych/space rock bands. far, far too many.
I think of it this way -- Acid Mothers Temple. Reason enough to go. And Six Organs of Admittance blew my mind and then some last time. Other folks I'm looking forward to -- Bardo Pond, Charalambides, Kinski, Landing, the Lothars, Barbara Manning, ST37, Stone Breath, Windy and Carl, Ghost. The others I don't really know or am slightly indifferent to -- Sonic Youth is the big question mark for the whole thing in my mind.

There are definitely regulars. I'm sorta surprised to not see Abunai! on the line-up. I mean, it's *in* Boston and normally they don't like to go anywhere unless there's drugs involved, so this time the mountain came to Muhammad. Presumably they'll be named later.
Does anyone actually like Damon and Naomi?
I don't know if I would get along with them well one to one, but I've not minded the music. Don't worship it, though.

Hope to see a few of you in Boston, anyway. And rest assured, we'll make damn sure Ghost have enough time to do a full set this time.

― Phil McMullen, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
Anyway, thanks for the clarification there, Phil! No question about the set being wonderful, I just hadn't realized that everything had already been worked out before D&N took the stage with them.
It is a lot bigger than the Upstairs - I underestimated up there - but, damn, I never thought it could hold that much.
― David Raposa, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
And in non-D&N news, rumor has it that at least one Fort Thunder band, the inimitable LIGHTNING BOLT might put in an appearance between sets.

The band is an expansion of an original solo project from Toronto guitarist/vocalist Liz Hysen. Virtually everything revolves around Hysen's fragile vocal parts, and when you listen carefully it becomes pretty apparent that, despite possible comparisons with post-rock darlings like Godspeed You Black Emperor! or Mogwai, Picastro is a much more restrained project, with string accompaniment adding anchor rather than bombast... It's a beautiful car crash of an album, simultaneously pretty and dissonant, and utterly compelling no matter how jarring it gets. The beautiful minimalist handmade packaging included only adds to the feeling of intimacy. Or the short version my friend used to use was "GYBE as a four piece minus the attichude."How much? ummm not much, time is around 9-9:30. Yahoo just cleared my trash that had all those details, but they are all Toronto area artists (I think) so its priced accordingly.Can you tell Im avoiding work?

I have an idea, related to the Sept. 11 2002 thread on ILE. Lets start the "I am coming to Boston and/or going to Terrastock" thread on Sept. 11 so we will all have a good reason not to watch TV.
As for Axis V. Middle East... If I remember correctly, there are more obstructed views at the Middle East. It has been a while since I have been though. If I am wrong, correct me oh denziens of Baaahstun.
