Thanks to Gareth for the info:
Hi there,
in case you were wondering, Battle (myspace.com/thisisbattle) will be be main support for New Order at Brixton Academy on Thursday. Peter Hook gave his comments on the band for the NME in March this year and commented that they sounded like 'Warsaw, pre Joy-Division'.
regards,
Gareth
To be honest, I have never heard of them. But I have just checked out their site and under the details for Brixton, it says:
supporting New Order. Yes. New Order
as if they don't quite believe it themselves! Bless! :D

Is there ANYONE (apart from Hillage) who you would not say that about?
I was looking forward to "To Be Anounced" & " Special Guests" Ive seen them both loads in the past and there really good !

NU ORDAH!
I, on the other hand, just can't be arsed. Agree with the chant and beers though, Liam!!
Battle are one of the new teen punk bands unearthed by XFM. And being dug up by Channel Four's Rock School etc.
They are technically very proficient with guitars, but, the pub is a better option.
If it was Outlaw, now that would be cool; They are only about 12, but make an almighty racket.
Good luck to 'em, I say. Warsaw were a support band for quite a while. Wondered whatever happened to them?!
I might step in to see the youngsters - imagine staying in the pub while Joy Division were playing, just because they were the 'support' band to The Buzzcocks then really kicking yourself afterwards because you missed them...

Nobody's making you go. I for one am looking forward to seeing a new young band, ACR have nothing to prove to anyone any more.

Exactly. Plus we get the front row to stake territory for later!
I've seen BAttle - went for the support band - Komakino - they are nice lads, one of them even gave me some of the rider & Tendency is a top song, but I feel they need a bit more time yet, have potential...
Defo worth seeing for Tendency though.
also I see Brixton have posted running times for the gig
Doors 7pm-11pm. The Delphian Complex 7.30-8.00pm, 8.15-8.45pm, New Order 9.15pm. Curfew 11.00pm
http://www.brixton-academy.co.uk/
guess they missed "Battle" out on the 8.15 - 8.45 slot.
our experience of the venue & the posted running times is that sometimes they can be pretty much spot on, others ....
gives a rough idea tho'.
anybody know anything about "The Delphian Complex" ?
see those E-Bay tkts are still really cheap too

From their website:
"Fusing searing guitars with cutting edge electronics, London/Bedford six-piece the Delphian Complex create a unique form of brooding electro-rock; a sound that owes as much to the Dance scene as to contemporary guitar music. Their intense and captivating live sets have ensured their status as a must-see band. Warm words for cold times."
Hiya guys,
Looking forward to seeing New Order for the first time ever... but I am a massive Battle fan!
If you want to know whats in store go to www.thisisbattle.co.nr and download a couple of songs.
You say your disappointed to get a small band but these guys are going to be massive so I would make sure you check them out... drink up early!
Warmest Regards

Welcome 
Nice first post - polite too. Not like the oiks we get posting here.
I am listening to Tendancy now - they sound well worth missing half an hour of drinking for I'm sure.
"I know I dance like a drunken arse" - brilliant!
Drummer sounds good also.
:) Thanks its nice to be here! God New Order are legends and I cant wait! But like I said been following Battle for nearly a year now and hopefully everyone going on Thursday will get a glimpse of the band and how much potential they have got!
If you want to ask any questions about them or anything for more convincing then please dont hesitate to ask!
Warmest Regards
Gav
