CARIBOU (City Slang/Merge)
Having toured around the world playing his new long play Andorra, we are simply thrilled
that Dan Snaith's Caribou is going to bring his FOUR piece Poptastic-Neu/Kraut-electro-'60's vocal influenced-visual roadshow back to Aberdeen on the last leg of the Andorra tour. Caribou's events always bring forth glowing sunshine and smiles; Come and see him in one of his favourite indoor venues, where his new VISUALS & his finely honed live sound will be guaranteed to "blow you away". An artist currently on absolutely TOP form in the live setting

"All up it was the most engaging Caribou live show yet, and one that would
have sounded even better in a slightly different setting".

Caribou coming to one of his favourite UK venues will certainly provide that......look out for a special performance and a very special night, because we also have...


BORN RUFFIANS (XL & WARP Records)
Fellow Ontarian's Born Ruffians are a three piece band who were signed to both the above labels in Europe & America on the basis of a four track demo. Built up their live shows with hyperactive stage antics, & small tours with Hidden Cameras & Hot Chip, but really honed their live craft when touring North America with Caribou for 6weeks last Oct/Nov. Here's the return leg in the UK, so Dan Snaith must like these kids a whole lot as well. Also chosen to play ATP v Pitchfork so something must be special about them.

Their long play isn't out till May but it already been reviewed in advance by
Pitchfork Review 8 out of 10
on 27th Feb 08

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++

Think this could be one very special night, so please note unless you are willing to jump about & & smile a lot this event isn't for you.

================================================== ===============

Lastly, a very special offer:-
Buy a Caribou ticket in advance (including the still valid February ones), come the following night to our FANTASTIC Stars of The Lid* event with your Caribou ticket which will be endorsed, KEEP your Caribou ticket to present @ any one of our autumn events where the entry is £5 & you will get-in FREE.

*Stars of the Lid can be ticket in advance OR cash on the door BUT you must
take your Caribou ticket to be endorsed.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I was SO looking forward to this and had my lovely ticket for last month and I'm not even going to be in the country in May....and you've managed to make what was to be an already amazing gig even more brilliant!!

Well done on getting Born Ruffians.

Tears.
:'(

[Jarvis]

That's a pretty good offer you've got with the SotL combo, nice one!

And a huge big monolithic high five for the brilliant names you're bringing to the grey city

[lowball]

likewise, two fantastic nights in a row, thank you

[careering]

well done mr chilli, always confident you'd get it confimed after the disappointment of the call off. whats event better we kept our original tickets. Dare say we'll come in for Stars of The Lid as well. Saw them in Leeds late last year, just astonishingly beautiful in a live setting. Everyone loved Glissando as well, very very good line-up.

[chilli]

Delighted to say that Born Ruffians are now 100% confirmed for the Aberdeen date.

[Elizabeth]

Nice one. Was listening on their myspace and they sound awesome.

Are there still tickets for this/Stars of the Lid? I'm planning on buying some at the weekend.
...and what's the deal with the Stars of the Lid/Caribou tickets thingy? I don't understand...

Yes there are still tickets available

Buy a Caribou ticket. Go to the gig. Keep the ticket. Take it the next night to SotL, where it will get endorsed. Keep the endorsed ticket and present it at one of our August £5 gigs and you will get in free.
