[suprefan]

Probably, cause Ian needs some $$.

[Mr.Nipples]

Probably, cause Ian needs some $$.

no he doesn't

[dorkfish]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[dorkfish]

no he doesn't
exactly. if he didn't need money after having a kid, he surely doesn't need money, now.

[shakermaker113]

oh hell yes! 9 american towns!


Main Stage. Sunset. Sunday. Coachella 2011

THEY WILL NOT BE FIELDING OTHER OFFERS.

[TallGuyCM]

oh hell yes! 9 american towns!

NY, Chi, LA, SF, and 5 others (I'm guessing)...wonder where.

[pancakespancakes]

HOLY JESUS H CHRIST FUCKING SHIT GODDAMMIT OH MY.

[pancakespancakes]

holy shit YES. now the question is, how many of nine can I get to?

MY THOUGHTS FUCKING EXACTLY.

[pancakespancakes]

oh man.

[softbulletin]

They have to play Toronto and Montreal, right?

[TallGuyCM]

They have to play Toronto and Montreal, right?

I just mentioned the same thing in the ATP thread, wondering if "American" meant 9 in the U.S. or 9 in the U.S. + Canada.

[pancakespancakes]

Fuck my life.

[shakermaker113]

NY, Chi, LA, SF, and 5 others (I'm guessing)...wonder where.

watch them go and do 9 towns all in the midwest.

[shoegazer76]

watch them go and do 9 towns all in the midwest.

You know thats how its going to happen. Saving for the Chicago show.

[schoolofruckus]

Good chance of that happening, I would say. The idea that an anarchist, stringently anti-corporate band is going to play the nine "biggest" American markets is fallible, at best.

But that said - if the idea is really to play nine meaningful shows, one would like to hope they're at least spread out wide across the continent of North America.

Oh wait, I haven't properly articulated my feelings on this yet.

BEST GODDAMN NEWS I HAVE EVER HEARD.

[shakermaker113]

sigh. better start saving for another trip.

[suprefan]

THEY WILL NOT BE FIELDING OTHER OFFERS.

how do you know Paul T hasnt signed em already?

[TallGuyCM]

If they're not gonna play in California, I've got my fingers crossed for a Vancouver date. I've always wanted to go there, and have never really had a good excuse to.

[suprefan]

They are going to play Phoenix, but then, amy will still find an excuse to complain.

[shakermaker113]

how do you know Paul T hasnt signed em already?

they said winter. coachella is not in the winter.

[apostle2]

i just need them to play toronto, montreal, philly, boston, or anyplace in the state of NY. that's all I ask.

[TallGuyCM]

i just need them to play toronto, montreal, philly, boston, or anyplace in the state of NY. that's all I ask.

I would say there's a very good chance of that happening.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

If they're not gonna play in California, I've got my fingers crossed for a Vancouver date. I've always wanted to go there, and have never really had a good excuse to.

I would almost want to do this even if they DO play California.

[wmgaretjax]

they won't play coachella. seriously folks...

[suprefan]

:nono

[send me ctrpllrs]

Oh, that is wonderful. I heard about ATP earlier via Twitter while I was walking and stopped mid stride in awe. I was all set to try my hardest to go to that, but I just read that bit about 9 American shows. One or more of those will do. I do want to to go to a UK ATP at some point, but that would be hard when I'm already set to go to 3 festivals this year.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

THEY WILL NOT BE FIELDING OTHER OFFERS.

Yes but that's prefaced by "until further introspection". Coachella 2011 is a whole year away. It could happen.

[schoolofruckus]

Once again - an anarchist, stringently anti-corporate band is not going to play a mega-corporate festival like Coachella. I'm not saying they won't play any Goldenvoice-run venues - after all, they've done The El Rey before - but playing a gigantic festival sponsored by Heineken, Playstation, and Microsoft is just not going to happen.


Edit: I don't say this with pleasure. I would love to see them at the Polo Field.

[SoulDischarge]

I figured this would be up to like 10 pages by now. Then again, it's not BoC. Good shit.

[suprefan]

Depends on the post view settings?

[faxman75]

and this apparently is the kind of great music I was missing out on while listening to ICP back in the late 90's... FML

[SonicBluthe]

Bonerific news!

[Natelevmofuggaz]

Godspeed and Tim Hecker are playing at the same place on the same night? What the fuck is going on?

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

and I came.

[wmgaretjax]

Godspeed and Tim Hecker are playing at the same place on the same night? What the fuck is going on?

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Fuckin' a.

[corbo]

EXCITED read the news earlier today :))

[lunatic core]

FUCK YES!
I wonder when the haters are gonna pop into this thread.

[hendrixfan143]

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS A GOD

i'm glad for you

[amyzzz]

They are going to play Phoenix, but then, amy will still find an excuse to complain.
I'd go, but I'd be terrified the entire time. Freaky fucking music.

[buffalojim]

WAY.
TOO.
AWESOME.

[psycobetabuckdown]

Godspeed You Black Emperor and the fucking Shins for Coachella 2011

[shakermaker113]

Depends on the post view settings?

we haven't formed a cult around them yet. I have a feeling this thread will be it though. all the right ingredients are present.

[TallGuyCM]

I will gladly drink the kool-aid after I see GYBE live.

[Boourns]

NY, Chi, LA, SF, and 5 others (I'm guessing)...wonder where.

Seattle, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Monticello

[ThomThom]

I'll be praying for an LA date in the winter. This news along with Pitchfork adds have made my ear infection go away, at least temporarily.

[TallGuyCM]

Monticello

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Still-ill]

Godspeed and Tim Hecker are playing at the same place on the same night? What the fuck is going on?

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

[TallGuyCM]

Oh wow. I could watch that for hours. ^

[Still-ill]

...and listen to Antennas to Heaven?

[TallGuyCM]

...and listen to Antennas to Heaven?

Absolutely. Did it today front to back just to celebrate.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

THEY WILL NOT BE FIELDING OTHER OFFERS.

until further introspection....so it isn't out of the question.

[stuporfly]

Listening to Lift Yr. Skinny Fists... right now to celebrate................

You and me both.

[fikus222]

My friends used to play these guys the recovery day after a night of partying. Needless to say, I'll have to give GYBE another listen before I get too excited.

[menikmati]

Nothing beats Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada.

[fatbastard]

Hmm.

[pancakespancakes]

Nothing beats Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada.

Nothing except for Lift Yr Skinny Fists and F#A#(infinity).

[WhyTheLongFace]

I had no idea who they were until this thread. I have been listening nonstop since. I'm in.

[JamesMills]

I really hope they put out another album together... I finally grew tired of Skinny Fists after 100 listens back in '06ish

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I am downloading their discography now...yet another band I heard about for YEARS and never listened to. Looking forward to diving in finally.

[pancakespancakes]

Dang. They're turning into legends now. Their LA show is going to be packed to the gills and they'll probably play some place like the Orpheum or Wiltern. Shit, I'll think of this as a good thing though.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

i love this reference so much

2SU0t2uhs9M

[whynotsmile99]

holy shit that is awesome. So if they DO play LA, where would you like to see them?

I would prefer seated and outdoors. Walt Disney Concert Hall would be awesome, though that surely will not happen

edit: winter...eh maybe not outdoors

[JamesMills]

holy shit that is awesome. So if they DO play LA, where would you like to see them?

I would prefer seated and outdoors. Walt Disney Concert Hall would be awesome, though that surely will not happen

edit: winter...eh maybe not outdoors

I'm down for seated outdoors in Winter, personally. Hollywood Bowl would be epic, though probably impossible

[TallGuyCM]

Yeah, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We'll be very lucky IF they play LA.

[dorkfish]

They updated their Windish booking page this morning to say that the US tour is in January 2011.

http://www.windishagency.com/artists/godspeed_you_black_emperor

[pancakespancakes]

Couldn't we just get one final ASMZ tour before we move on? Please? They literally have not played California since 2006. And in the meantime put out their 2 best albums...

[dorkfish]

aSMZ are playing Mexico City on 9/30, so I can't see why they wouldn't do a West Coast tour before/after that.

[bmack86]

I thought a Silver Mount Zion played the Echo/Echoplex in the past two years. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

[pancakespancakes]

I thought a Silver Mount Zion played the Echo/Echoplex in the past two years. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Actually you could be right. I think this is true. I'm crazy...

[schoolofruckus]

Anything that has any potential delay or hinder the Godspeed tour = fuck that.

[dorkfish]

I thought a Silver Mount Zion played the Echo/Echoplex in the past two years. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
Are you thinking of the Vic Chesnutt tour where they were his backing band?

[bmack86]

Naw, that was last year. I could have sworn that they had done at least one show right around the time they played ATP in '08. Maybe I'm losing it though.

[pancakespancakes]

I'm somewhat partial to the newer bands with the contemporary material... as long as the material is good, which it is very good... but most people have probably been able to see ASMZ by now.

[pancakespancakes]

Naw, that was last year. I could have sworn that they had done at least one show right around the time they played ATP in '08. Maybe I'm losing it though.

I looked it up and couldn't find anything. I'm still thinking their last west coast tour was 2006...

[dorkfish]

Naw, that was last year. I could have sworn that they had done at least one show right around the time they played ATP in '08. Maybe I'm losing it though.
I could be wrong, but last time I saw them was well after Horses in the Sky came out when they played in 2006

[bmack86]

Snap, y'alls right. Apparently the ATP set in '08 was their first as this new, different, non-Tralala band. I stand corrected. (And, that means I've never seen old Silver Mt. Zion, but new Silver Mt. Zion was some pretty powerful stuff. Mike and I watched their soundcheck for quite awhile before a security guard realized we didn't work with ATP.)

[menikmati]

Couldn't we just get one final ASMZ tour before we move on? Please? They literally have not played California since 2006. And in the meantime put out their 2 best albums...

No, bring on GYBE. Storm, Moya, BBF3, drool....

[schoolofruckus]

I'm somewhat partial to the newer bands with the contemporary material... as long as the material is good, which it is very good... but most people have probably been able to see ASMZ by now.

On this note, I'm somewhat partial to one of the greatest bands of all time that I have never had a chance to see.

[dorkfish]

So Gabe, I think that if (when) they play LA, you should announce very sternly and loudly that you're going to rip the throat out of anyone you catch talking during their show.

[schoolofruckus]

I may hang up signs at the venue the day before.

Then again, I'm imagining they will be loud enough that I shouldn't have to worry about this.

[menikmati]

I may hang up signs at the venue the day before.

Then again, I'm imagining they will be loud enough that I shouldn't have to worry about this.

I dunno...I have a some bootlegs, and on a lot of them, you can hear people talking all the time....really sucks. At least they don't stop the show like Dead Can Dance would.

[wmgaretjax]

people talked a fair amount when i saw them... it was a pretty serious bummer. then again, i didn't even really know who they were... so i wasn't super bothered... they still ruled though.

[schoolofruckus]

Yeah, better go with the signs.

[dorkfish]

watch any live video of Moya on YouTube. People are chatting away during the quiet sections.

[suprefan]

Gabe is going to need his own entourage to protect the people around him from getting killed..

[Undies]

Woke up Saturday morning around 7 am, ate some mushrooms, rode my bike along the bayou, watched small birds eat dragonflys on bridge; all while listening to Godspeed You! Black Emporer for the first time.

It was a pretty good morning.

This thread was bumped for that?? :nono

[suprefan]

Yep

[kreutz2112]

who eats mushrooms at 7 am?

[liquidsnake28]

People who call themselves "Undies."

[roboticwaltz]

At least he didn't start a new thread to tell everyone a la the Josesativa method.

[Undies]

People who call themselves "Undies."

Nice observation, "liquidsnake28".

[PJandBompton]

dear lord. was wondering what this thread was about and looked into these guys. h-o-l-y shit.

[shermanoaksyo]

Can't wait for January!

[darksideofkaos.]

I had never listened to Godspeed You! until recently and they are fucking amazing. I can't wait until January... hopefully they make 1 of the 9 American shows in L.A.

[Devin the Dude]

I know what I'm getting for my birthday guys..







































!!!!!!!!

[schoolofruckus]

When are we getting the goddamn dates?

[darksideofkaos.]

November with onsale dates in December would be my guess

[suprefan]

When are we getting the goddamn dates?

Ask Dani

[TallGuyCM]

Thread bump with no info? That's no less aggravating than when the same thing happens in the Portishead thread. :nono

[darksideofkaos.]

Taken from ConsequenceofSound

Godspeed You! Black Emperor to soundtrack animated short
Post-rock’s expansion in the 90s as textured instrumental pieces that borrow from jazz fusion and 80s electronica (thanks to later efforts from Slint, Talk Talk, and Tortoise), seemed to take a term for the epic right around the turn of the century. In retrospect, Godspeed You! Black Emperor was more a reflection of the darker days to come in the naughty aughts. Its apocalyptic builds and morbid themes couldn’t have fit more congruently with life in 2000-2002, their formative recording years.

As we forge ahead into the teens, I sure could use a little more Godspeed in my life. So, while we wait for those masterful Montreal musicians to put out some new music, lets watch some animated shorts with their music as soundtrack. Clyde Henry Productions, made up of directors Chris Lavis and Maciek Szcerbowski, are using the music of Godspeed You! Black Emperor as the basis for their new short, L’Annee De L’os (via Twitchfilm). Their previous film was the Oscar nominated short Madame Tutli-Putli, which featured music by semi-GY!BE side project Set Fire To Flames. Their new film is reported to be “a seven minute experiment of sound and form” and will hit the film festival circuit this fall. No word on whether this will be new Godspeed music, but at the very least you can check out a still from the film to the right.

More tiny bubbles of life are also surfacing from the GY!BE camp. They will be curating the ATP Nightmare Before XMAS this December in London December 3-5th, and a small UK tour will follow immediately after ATP. Please come to America.

[TallGuyCM]

NO MOAR UNNECESSARY BUMPS.

[Cookieman908]

Unnecessary bumps are not nearly as bothersome as unnecessary threads

[TallGuyCM]

FUCK YOU.

[darksideofkaos.]

NO MOAR UNNECESSARY BUMPS.

Not my fault you nearly cum yourself everytime a thread gets bummed. This is news relating to GYBE ohhh and fuck me this just happens to be the GYBE thread... Crazy how shit works.

[TallGuyCM]

My problem is that it's not telling us anything that we didn't already know. Hence, the unnecessariness of the bump.

[darksideofkaos.]

The post was about possible new GYBE music... Granted it's probably going to be an older song worked into the film but still it's relevent "new" news. Of course it isn't the tour dates.... which need to come soon

Good lord that is pretty far off.

Good god, the Fonda has been unstoppable. Can't wait!

[wmgaretjax]

Planning on trying for both SF shows plus LA.

:D :D

[PJandBompton]

YES!!! and the motherfucking Fonda too? WOOOO

[schoolofruckus]

It's fucking President's Day weekend. I'd only have to take one day off in order to make both SF shows. This is AMAZING news.

Now there's just the matter of, um, buying the tickets.

[suprefan]

GABE IS JIZZING IN HIS PANTS.


Can we say they are playing that weekend in Sf cause its Noisepop?

[dorkfish]

most likely Noise Pop, yes. I'm glad that it's at GAMH. Silver Mt Zion were amazing there.

[bucketofpower]

17.03.2011 New York US Church of St Paul The Apostle


um, THAT would be fucking awesome

[bballarl]

I might have to go.

[bmack86]

The Fonda is now perfect, what with the drawings from Paradise Lost on the walls. Apt.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I'd be much happier if I knew where I'd be living then.

[MuseRadio]

I bet they add a second Fonda date.

[getbetter]

o man, please for the love of god dont go on sale til I get paid.Also I hope where ever i get a job at i can still go this show.

[suprefan]

o man, please for the love of god dont go on sale til next week.Also I hope where ever i get a job at i can still go this show.

sold out, sorry..

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

sold out, sorry..

yep. Supre and I bought all the tickets to every show. You're screwed.

[suprefan]

but you dont know where youre going to live! :nono

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

but you dont know where youre going to live! :nono

Hence why we bought tickets to all the shows! :thu

[suprefan]

I guess, oh yeah, they are sooo going to broadcast that 9:30 club show.

[getbetter]

:blah I plan to be at henry fonda show.

[apostle2]

FUCK YES. The two NYC shows are over spring break.

Also, he cut out the vancouver date the night before seattle.

[shakermaker113]

holy cow. I thought it was another unnecessary bump. TWO NIGHTS IN SF!

[cormaic]

my bad, I just put the vancouver date in my post.

[shakermaker113]

is that NY date really in a church?

[send me ctrpllrs]

I love how far spread out the dates are. I'm thinking about trying to do both SF and LA and then both NY dates.

[suprefan]

is that NY date really in a church?

Yes, on St Patricks Day no less.

[softbulletin]

FUCK YES. The two NYC shows are over spring break.


Holy fucking shit.

[Sushov23]

So happy these dates got announced. I will for sure be at the LA show. I hope they add a 2nd night in LA. Maybe Coachella?

[TickleMeElmo]

NY dates are already on sale. Dunno about the other ones.

[SoulDischarge]

Missed my birthday by two fucking days, but who cares because they're playing two fucking days in a row. I can't wait to get postrocked.

[TickleMeElmo]

Oh fuck, the DC date is during the last day of SXSW. Since nothing really happens during that day, I might fly up there for that show before heading home.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Still-ill]

Can I get a link to those NY shows, Elmo?

[dorkfish]

NYC tickets are only $25, thus the rest of the shows are also reasonably priced.

I think those are probably the only on-sale already.

[Mr.Nipples]

friend is asking to stay at my place for the bay area shows so ill more than likely be going.

[suprefan]

So happy these dates got announced. I will for sure be at the LA show. I hope they add a 2nd night in LA. Maybe Coachella?

No Coachella, been discussed quite a bit here. This is the best Gv can do with them, and I am sure there will be no complaints.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Fuck I need to buy these today...thanks for the update guys.

[Cookieman908]

They're not even going to play a show in their hometown of Montreal? Or in Toronto? Weird.

[suprefan]

They're not even going to play a show in their hometown of Montreal? Or in Toronto? Weird.

You know theres plenty of space in there to add dates?

[betao]

That's true. Didn't they initially say they were going to perform in only 9 US cities?

[shakermaker113]

so excited.

[schoolofruckus]

That's true. Didn't they initially say they were going to perform in only 9 US cities?

Toronto and Montreal aren't US. Everything I've seen says that there are more Canadian and European dates to be announced.

[seyrnon]

oh wow
the 21st is the day before my birthday, that's gonna be a sick way to celebrate without a doubt. god damn I'm psyched

[ruskinator]

Anyone have an idea about when the Great American shows will go on sale? I want to be at the ready.

[dorkfish]

That church in NYC seems like a neat venue:

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music/wordlessgreenwood/wordless_016.jpg

[thestripe]

Sweet Jesus.

[Alchemy]

I bought a ticket for the show in St. Paul the Apostle's. Excited!

I'm going to convince my folks to buy tickets too, as they are coming up that week for my birthday.

EDIT: Actually, I just went ahead and bought their tickets too. This will be the first time that my family attends church together since the early 90s.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I also bought my ticket for the church show. I'm deciding whether I want to buy for the Masonic Temple show as well. I feel like 30 is a steal

[wmgaretjax]

just buy it. you'll be able to sell it later if you decide to bail. not gonna happen again any time soon i'm fairly certain...

[betao]

Toronto and Montreal aren't US. Everything I've seen says that there are more Canadian and European dates to be announced.

I know... there are 11 US cities total. not counting Canadian cities, obviously. and assuming that NYC and Brooklyn count as 1.

I may have miscounted, but its definitely more than 9.

[betao]

Holy crap, I'm not sure if I can fathom seeing them in a church like that. I'm tempted to look into travel plans for that one.

[bballarl]

A lot of people will be weeping at that show.

[ruskinator]

For any San Franciscans, the GAMH shows are on sale Sun. Sept. 26 at 10am.

[wmgaretjax]

where do you see that?

[ruskinator]

I emailed Leah at GAMH.

[schoolofruckus]

Good tip.

[betao]

Both of the NYC shows are apparently sold out already.

[Alchemy]

I wonder how many tickets were sold for those. What's the pew capacity?

[bballarl]

You could probably fit more people in if some people kneel and some sit.

[Alchemy]

I wonder if the Holy Spirit will be in attendance.

[schoolofruckus]

These shows will all sell out extremely fast. I really hope the LA tickets don't go onsale on the 26th as well.

Fuck I knew I should have bought those NY tickets last night.

Going to have to be on top of it for the SF shows, that venue is small.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Damn glad I got my ticket this afternoon

[ruskinator]

I don't see how the SF shows can tie to Noisepop when they'll both be sold out five months before the festival, unless Noisepop has them booked doing something else and they're fitting shows around that date.

Open dates: 2/19, 2/22

[karma_guy]

anyone have an idea when the portland show will go on sale? crystal ballroom is pretty small and i really don't wanna miss out on this

The only way that they're tied to Noise Pop is if 100 or so tickets are withheld and they have them reserved for Badgeholders.

[dorkfish]

where do you see that?
It's posted on the website, now:

[ficklecycle]

Okay, so I decided to do both SF dates and LA. I really wanted to do NY but there's no hope for that now.

[shakermaker113]

That church in NYC seems like a neat venue:

so jealous.

they sometimes have shows that badgholders don't have access to. didn't they do that for magnetic fields a few years back?

[dorkfish]

It was some weird deal where you could buy a badge and request a ticket for Magnetic Fields.

The Godspeed shows aren't affiliated with Noise Pop, after all, so the moot point.

[shakermaker113]

that church is so tempting. if it wasn't in the middle of the damn week.

is the masonic temple actually a temple of sorts? their website is most unhelpful

[dorkfish]

is the masonic temple actually a temple of sorts?
yeah.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I can't believe this is real

Already sold out anyway.

I was thinking maybe they'd do one of those afternoon interviews at the Herbst Theatre ala City Arts & Lectures. A coincidence makes the most sense though.

Got a Brooklyn Temple ticket this morning before class. During class, I convinced myself to also buy a ticket for the church show. By the time I got out, they were gone. Shit, oh well. can't be greedy.

[shakermaker113]

wow they are being pretty discreet about this whole thing.

[Alchemy]

Yeah, these NYC tickets went on sale out of nowhere. I had been holding out on a few shows with this exact thing in mind though. Ever since they announced that they'd reunite, I put them on top priority. I'm just glad they aren't playing NYC at a time that I was in Texas.

[weeklymix]

My brother lives in Athens. Perhaps it is time to see him.

[mahhhc]

That church in NYC is where I had my baccalaureate for my college graduation. It's a stunning venue, but I remember having issues hearing and some of the seating has bad vantage points.

Hopefully the temple is not a let down. It's much smaller, but no seats. Could be a long night for standing.

[dorkfish]

the temple is supposedly the loudest venue in town.

[shakermaker113]

gamh is starting to seem so dull.

[Grant]

When did tickets go on sale for NY?

[softbulletin]

[Grant]
