  1. It's miles better, I think. I wasn't that arsed about the first one but the second one is blinding. Looking forward to hearing the new stuff recorded, Swansong had me a wee bit sad at Fest, what with it being their 3rd last gig and all.
  2. Aye, it was about 70. Not really sure what happened, perhaps our warnings to get down early put people off entirely? Dunno. Still, we were able to pay them a good bit over their breakeven (just as well, with the van debacle) and I had an absolute ball. And we got pretty rowdy afterwards, those boys enjoyed their introduction to whisky.
  3. Can't believe you've missed OK Pilot off that list! Basically the UK Young Livers. OK PILOT (new song uploaded) on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads One of my favourite things on IYMI is the Halo Fauna (basically Eric Ayotte full band) EP, the track Our Forts Were Elaborate is lovely.
  4. Yeah, and if you can pay, you're very well off - but for the vast majority of people if your insurance messes you about, you're not getting private healthcare, so the point is moot. According to Harvard Law School, 60% of all personal bankruptcies can be traced back to funding healthcare. Precisely because it is universal. Everyone can access it. You can dress it up any way you like but the politics of private healthcare are fundamentally selfish. The subtext of pretty much everything I've read in favour of it is an opposition to perceived increases in taxation. I've got mine, why should I pay for yours? Lovely.
  5. ...because, after all, there is no history of private healthcare doing absolutely everything it can to avoid actually paying out. No, those guys can be relied upon without exception.
  6. Was actually originally only five gigs. They've since added Cambridge and possibly something in London too, I think.
  7. Cheers Huw. TCK are a lovely band from Texas and would be more than worth going to see in their own right, but they're getting a bit overshadowed by Algernon excitement. The long and the short of it is that it's going to be tremendous.
  8. Well clearly, which is unusual, and brings us back to my original question. Do you just like to argue?
  9. Well it was rebutting your post above, so if my answer has nothing to do with what I was talking about, then neither does what you were on about. Put simply: I understand it may be different for commercial promoters and bands where people are doing it for reasons other than purely the enjoyment of the music (and that's fine if that's what they want to do), but with this type of gig and this type of band, getting to see the band tends to be pretty much the long and the short of the motivation for doing the gig.
  10. Yeah, business and Lemuria don't really fit, this is a DIY tour. It's not a job, it's for the fun of it.
  11. I see. What's the point in putting a band on if you don't go and see them?!
  12. I must be misreading this. You're not going to your own gig?
  13. United Fruit are grand lads, we put them on recently and it was a pleasure.
  14. I believe 'teckle' is the preferred vernacular.
  15. Aye, the mighty Swordmaster are bringing us their heroic metal anthems, and there's another band pencilled in just now you'll be superannoyed to miss.
