will DEFINITELY be heading over there for the Nine Black Alps set, they were an awesome support to the kaiser chiefs last week!

[Adamski]

seriously? i didnt think you rated them that highly. i thought they were ok, but won't lose any sleep if i don't see them at Reading.

[Echoes]

ok, unjudicious choice of words there

[Eh! Steve]

I'd like to see them, depends who else is on at the time of course...

[Echoes]

the Nine Black Alps dude has got mumps now, so they've cancelled all remaining May gigs!

is anyone up for seeing them at the Camden Barfly? I love that venue, with a band this noisy in a place that small, it should be awesome! June 12th

[Eh! Steve]

sadly i have exams 9 days after that, otherwise i'd be all over it like the proverbial shit on the proverbial velcro.
