Sonic/EAR gig

It's fairly unlikely you'd have made it here without ever having heard of Jason's previous incarnation. So here you go, talk away...

Sonic/EAR gig

Post by spaceman13 »

As most of you that frequent this board I'm sure also periodically check the board on Chris Barrus' site, but just in case I figured I would give a heads up. For those of you in the England posters are stating that Sonic Boom/EAR are playing at a pub called the Black Swan in Northampton on February 4, 2004. It seems it is to celebrate a birthday or some other occasion, don't remember.

If this is true and for those that were unaware and are able to attend, enjoy :!:

How about a webcast for those outside of the UK (or unable to get babysitters/ dogwalkers etc.) ?

I'll be going up from London if it's definitely on.Anyone else?

Outside the UK so I can't go, but just out of interest - is that the same "dirty duck" mentioned on the "For all the fucked up children..." sleeve notes?

I doubt you'd get more than one dirty duck per town..........closely followed by the filthy fox.

Dirty Duck is a pub in Rugby (actually called the Black Swan though still referred to as the Duck - don't ask - you'll fall asleep). The Black Swan in Northampton has always been the Black Swan in Northampton.

Where is the Black Swan in Nupton? I lived there for 23 of my 28 years and my mind is a blank. Or there isn't one. Someone help me out... It's not out of the realms of possibility that I'm just being dumb...

Which beggs the question, is the gig actually in Rugby?

Update: http://www.northamptonbands.co.uk/ does not list a "Black Swan" on it's venues page.

Where did the original info come from?

Sonic Boom/EAR Gig

Post by Neil »

This is the information that went round on the Spacemen 3 mailing list thingy

Hi

apologies for this information getting to you a little late.
No tickets on sale before the night, i'm afraid, but be assured if you turn up earlyish, you'll get in.
Venue is just round the corner from Northampton train station so very accessible. Trains run from Euston and Birmingham very regularly.
Any questions etc. by all means get in touch.


Regards
Paul Wilson

thanks for clearing that up Neil!

I'll be on board, haven't seen the Boomer since he was farting around on an old casio supporting the Valentine's at the ULU in '91 or '92.

Anyone going then?

It's the Old Black Lion, just across the road from the train station. Impossible to miss.

I'm travelling up from Dorset mate... Me and Helm are going, if anyone wants to buy me beer I'll be wearing a black jumper that says 'Fenchurch' on the front. I'll probably buy you one back, too! :D

Last time I saw Pete was about 10 years ago at the Garage supporting, I think, Chapterhouse. He did the E.A.R./noise type thingy and it was pretty damn good, as far as I can remember.

I was drunker than I've been in a long old while but I enjoyed it. The analogue droning stuff works much better live than on record.

I'm not a big fan of the EAR stuff but as I have never seen Sonic do a live gig I thought I would pop up from London and I have to admit the EAR stuff works a lot better live than on CD.

It was too easy to get drunk in that pub only £2 a pint :D
