I want to be excited, but the last Union Chapel show really didn't do much for me. I guess this'll be the same line-up? I think they were a large part of my problem, they seemed totally uninterested.

And I'm supposed to be doing a fun run in a Santa suit the next morning too.

Yeah same line-up, I am excited by this but don't think I'll be able to go. I'm not doing a fun run but I have to start work at 6 the next morning.

This is an ealry show though, the curfew is 10.

V excited! no steve on drums though I'm guessing.

nope, it's John Moloney from Sunburned Hand....

who's going to this? (I'm able to go now)

what an amazing show! I don't think I should tell you what happened afterwards, you'll all hate me... :o

Come along Stu, break my heart. What did I miss?

appart from one of the best Thurston shows I've been to, here's what I wrote about it on facebook...



I was supposed to be on the guestlist but when I arrived at the show my name wasn't on the list so I bought a ticket anyway... I enjoyed the all the 3 acts that performed but Thurston and his band totally blew me away he was on fire tonight! after the show finished I went to buy a poster from the merch desk as that was about all I could afford to get (I'll post pics tomorrow) when John from Sunburned came up to me told me not to pay for the poster and that I could have anything I wanted from the table as he felt bad for forgeting to put me on the guestlist, I felt a bit reluctant to take anything but he made me! in the end I got the poster + 2 t-shirts and he gave me this backstage pass and asked if I wanted to hang out with the band backstage! I went with him backstage he got me a beer and I hung with all the band members and some other people for an hour or so before finally getting the tube back... I still can't quite believe it happened. Meeting Thurston 3 times within 3 days, allthough I mainly talked to the Sunburned guys. Everyone was really friendly and funny. I'm sorry I couldn't get jimbrim or toxic johnny backstage with me but John only had the one pass. It was very surreal but I loved it. Also Jenn at the start of the show he said that there was no way that he would be playing Superchrist :( maybe you can get him to change his mind :)I'm still too excited to sleep!

so what is the gossip? :)

I couldn't possibly tell, not in public anyway... ;)

the merch I scored last night...

review and some photos of last night (again the review is in Polish...)

You do know how to use the PM function, don't you? :D

You can PM me too, Stu ;)

great! and PM me, too!

Thanks for the review and pictures, glad the shows were fun, and that you had a nice experience with the bands backstage, Stu. I don't remember seeing proof of Thurston wearing a tuxedo in any other occasion, only on the "Superstar" video. Judging by the pics out there, he didn't even wear one at his wedding. Just a one-off remark, not a criticism. Looking forward to hearing live recordings hopefully soon.

I think I have never seen any pic from their marriage, can you link me to some?

Oh, I know this pic, but I totally forgot it might be from they wedding-party, it looks very casual, indeed.



They had catholic church wedding?

This IS sonic Gossip....hehheh

John did tell me that when Thurston and his band come back to Europe next year for ATP in March they wont be playing acoustic guitars...

Keep an eye out here... http://philsbootlegs.blogspot.com/ I don't know which show he went to but this is from his site:

Why wasn't the Cologne show (yesterday, Dec. 4) announced earlier ??!! I just found out it happened. I am shocked. I went to a football/soccer match instead !

It was announced in October... and it was posted on this board over a month ago http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=61839

I obviously had never seen that pic before, only the ones when they're cutting the cake, thanks!

Why is Thurston completely sapping these songs dry? I love Psychic Hearts but in 2011 Thurston Moore relying on those songs to tour on, especially without Steve Shelley or Tim Foljahn, is completely lame in my opinion.
