surely it would have been easier to do needlework with a needle & thread?
not that i'm an expert or anything

Originally posted by Old Blue Had my Kraftwerk RFH tickets since before Christmas. God, you lot are sooo last year...
Got those, and Mancland, but Brixton are holding on to 'em for some reason.
got my late showing one today too - says kraftwerk on stage @ 12:30.
never seen them before but surely that would suggest some sort of germanic efficiancy if they actually did come on stage at that time, & that wouldn't sit right would it?
Alex Staszko has set up a Kraftwerk tribute night for March 28 at the Roadhouse in Manchester. One of the bands to play will be Portal, the new project of Paul Ryan and Darren Moran, former Gabrielles Wish guitarist and bassist. I'm proud they're using that name since it was me suggesting it... Other bands include Hedzjellmo (though former Gabrielles Wish drummer Nick Harris has temporarily quit the band to concentrate on keyboards, they've found a new drummer anyway) and Mentalist. Will post news soon on the Gabrielles Wish site with the full list of the bands. Advance tickets are £5

so...do you happen to like Gabrilles Wish?
I am very, very, very upset, the weekend when KW are doing Madrid and Barcelona I have to be elsewhere working. The only weekend I'll have to work for months. Unavoidable.
No luck with them because last tour when they did Paris I also wanted to go (I've never seen them live) and I had to work also.

Damn, I'm useless at typing, I either look at the keyboard, in which case I can't see what I am writing or look at the screen in which case I can't see where the keys are...need a typist, me.
Don't worry, it happens...

Martin???? Is that you?
Poor you.. ;) I saw Kraftwerk on their opening gig on this tour. Yes, in Helsinki. what was they thinking. It was one of the biggest gigs in the whole tour too (about 5000 spectators).
And just to be sure that they really were that awesome, me and my pal went to Oslo six days after Helsinki to see the again.
Gigs were just amazing.. all the way from Man Machine to Musique non Stop.. Radio-Activity and TEE-Metal on Metal were the highlights on both gigs. only Vitamin was sort of shite...

Cool!
Where they playing in Seattle?

Their North American tour is a bit of a joke, isn't it? They do, like, thirty gigs in Europe, ten in Japan, then only pop over to Canada and the US for maybe a whole WEEK (I think it's five gigs?) then they're back in Europe again doing another twenty-odd gigs?! I think they're even doing more gigs in Russia than the entire North American sub-continent?!
Perhaps they'll be back there later in the year?!
Or maybe they just don't like North Americans?! 
Kraftwerk are playing at a very nice old theatre downtown, The Paramount. It's posh inside with the second best acoustics in town (next to the microsoft funded Opera Hall type thing).
Why would they like Americans Al? We think we own the world, we're ignorant, we praise democracy but our "Leader" had 500,000 less votes than the loser and we think the Cure and Depeche Mode are the same as New Order...seriously though, i hate this fucking country as much as the next guy (except Michael McDermott but he's not even human in my book)...if you can find a way for me to be employed in the UK, i'll be crashing on your couch as soon as i get the word. Never liked it here and never will.
HOWEVER....
Kraftwerk are actually playing Seattle so i've got to go..and yes, it seems like the US tour is only a handful of cities so i consider myself lucky. I bought extra tix if someone wants to fly over and enjoy the show with me and the better half!
Originally posted by Dee Nothing in the post yet for Brixton; anyone know what's going on?
Heard from Ticketweb last week that the tickets had been sent out...however heard from them today that the tickets for the 8pm show haven't been sent out yet but will be tomorrow (i.e. they were telling porkies last week). I suppose you've got to give them chance after all they've only had our money since last November.
Did you spend hours and £££ on the helpline?
Girl friend living in Greece booked the tix -they are supposed to be delivered to me so hopefully by the end of this week

Nope...but my other half did! They claim that the tickets should be received within 72 hours and if not then to call their 'help' line again...oh joy!

Indeed, I've got 11 tickets pending for the 8pm show ... and still nothing. However, a work colleague returned from holiday yesterday to find his tickets waiting for him so godknows what they're doing.
Karl Bartos has just announced he's playing London - Islington Academy, Sunday 16th May.
Originally posted by Philip Collins Woohoo! Brixton 8pm tickets have arrived!
Still no sign of mine, unless they're there went I get home tonight? Did they require a signature - else I'll just have to get 'em Saturday from the postal depot.
You meeting us for a pre-match beer, Philip? There's a lot of us going from these parts. Should be a good 'un.

They were just sent normal mail - can't see how that justifies the huge postal charges... Pre-match beer sounds good...are you all meeting up before the RFH gig too? I've got tickets for that one as well...
Originally posted by Philip Collins Pre-match beer sounds good...are you all meeting up before the RFH gig too? I've got tickets for that one as well...
Yes, indeed. Doing that one as well. Used to work on the South Bank but there's not many decent bars to drink in close to the venue, is there? Might be an idea just to meet at the bar in there - as long as there's no jazz quartets warbling away in the vicinity.
I'm sure me and True Blue could be persuaded along to a pre-RFH sesh. At the venue sounds as good as any.

Hmmm. One lot of mine arrived, another batch still to show.
Big KW article in the Independent today.
The fact they're playing in Toronto and Montreal is ok with me obviously, but I'm very surprised myself that they won't even go to NEW YORK where they could cash-in to their famous heritage. They could do shows like Letterman to get a lot of visibility.
They also skip major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia, Miami, Dallas, etc.
So in that respect, I find myself very lucky that they come to my home city, which is smaller than all those mentionned above. 
But they are doing LA this year; they are playing at Coachella (it's in Indio which is close enough to LA), but I don't have the cash to go to either day of the festival
