Merzbow is playing London UCL on the 19th April.

Whoop indeed!

I have no actual, real life friends who would anywhere-near enjoy a night of Merzbow, so I'm wondering if any of you motley types would want to meet up and make an evening of it? I fear London so company would be much appreciated.

I have, as yet, no travel plans. I may take train or may be able to blag a lift. It take place 5 days before my dissertation is due in, so common sense might win me over on this. All of which is to say; this is a tentative optioning at the moment and is not final.

But Fuck.

Merzbow.

Who's in?

Could deffo be tempted. Been a while since I've had a good old sonic scrub.

I'd be quite up for this, if anyone could give me a crash pad/go halves on a cheap hotel room.

Am I the only one who thinks it's slightly ambitious/redundant to list nearest airports for yr gig?

(This post means: MAYBE)

Not ambitious if it's Merzbow.

I have a recent album of his with a chicken on it. The dude likes animals.

Not sure about crash space round ours; but there will be someone nearby in the greater Barbelith crew, no doubt. Send a PM if you're planning on making the trip.

I got my lift confirmed, so I just need to get my ticket and I'll be ridin' the Merzbow train...

Toot toot!

As for afterwards... I don't know anything about London - what time does the tube run til? When do trains go til? The place i'm staying is in... erm... non-central (i forget to get specifics further than 'London'), so my options may be limited to either heading off for the last train near the end of the gig, or staying out all night and getting an early one.

I'll ask my friend about transport details and such, but does anyone have any plans or anything for afterwards? Care to show an innocent northerner around the hotspots and joyful jaunts of London Night?

Also - I've just noticed that Acid Mothers Temple are playing Corsica Studios on the 27th, so I might be back down pretty soon...

Aww shitbags.

I've just received the date of my final exam and it's sat rather annoyingly on the 21st - the Monday following this gig...

It's a seen exam, so I'm going to see if I can put that weekend away, but considering I'll be needing to work on my dissertation too, things aren't looking great.

Rather annoyed.

Ah, shame. it was a great gig, quite beat-heavy and skull-crushingly loud (though I believe my ears are a bit damaged, because it didn't sound loud enpough to me. I was assured it was).

so, coming to Acid Mothers? I'll be DJing at it.

This Saturday is it? If so, goddamned I'm gonna miss it, baby.

Acid Mothers (AKA the Japanese New Music Festival) is on Sunday if that helps?

I will not rest until you are all dead.

I'm angry at you people.

How dare you be all "available"?
