Basement Jaxx!!

[HunterGather]

FUCK YEAH!! Where the US dates at?!?! Do they usually tour the US when they release new albums??
!

I can't find no damn place for a gigography on them (apparently, Wikipedia doesn't have EVERYTHING), but I don't think they ever did a nice sized consecutive tour in the states.

Festivals and scattered solo shows.

I'm hoping to go to a festival gig and at least one solo show. I may have to go to NY and Coachella for those.

DAFT PUNK 2009

[HunterGather]

lolz
daft punk, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, and i guess Dizzee Rascal and Roisin Murphy on the same cover is somethin kinda epic.

Even if they are all photoshopped together. (?)

[pitapitscv]

[Boourns]

[pitapitscv]

[pitapitscv]

[HunterGather]

bring them on, that would be awesome.... Chem Bros, Prodigy, Basement Jaxx for Coachella 2009 please!

Coming from someone for whom EDM makes up less than 0.5% of his music listening, for this, I would probably die.
Or cry.
Or one leading to the other.


As in, infuckingcredible.

(Not to mention Massive Attack?!?! Goddammit who needs indie rock anyway!)

[daft$tar]

i love jaxx - bring them to coachella 09 for sure - hopefully their new album will be better than crazy.shit.radio

Where's your motherfucking head at.

Hmm, so I guess this makes it either VERY likely they will play (Friday?), or not likely at all... I'm hoping for the former since I've missed them 3 times now >_<

[pitapitscv]

I'm crushed. It looks like no Basement Jaxx again this year.....suxxxxx.

[HunterGather]

edit:
just noticed dude above me posted the same news.

Anyways, its possible they could be there on friday! But i dunno....i dunno how much hope that leaves for other US dates in the future....

[HunterGather]

We all need to make sure to include them in our prayers

[Trick Loves The Kids]

fuck. well hopefully they'll do a US tour.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I see these guys definitely being there. And not being square.

[vinylmartyr]

Move to the City and you can see acts like Basement Jaxx. They played here twice in the last 3 years.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I live in San Francisco.

[vinylmartyr]

Not you.

[HunterGather]

New dates have been released. Notice the gap between March 9th and April 20th.
Ultra? Coachella? Handful of solo shows? I hope so!

There are other gaps there, but me thinks they stay in Europe for a break or more festivals.

A nice ad to accompany their Aussie dates.

[Jman4321]

The cube guy is going to be there too.

[HunterGather]

Are you referring to that dude who had that kick ass cube stage set up with the lighting n stuff?
I forget what his name was. I wanna watch that video again.
Who is he? (or link to vid)

[action jackson]

For real? or are you being sarcastic, his name comes up all the time here lol

It's Etienne De Crecy if you can't remember.

[HunterGather]

With a name like that, of course I can't remember!

For reference to peoples:

[brando4n82]

The cube guy is going to be there too.

lolz...this does give us much hope for a coachella if he is still touring with that set up

[PassiveTheory]

Holy shit that lineup looks great.

Also, note how the mighty have fallen. Where Paul Oakenfold one would have headlined, he is now billed under fucking CSS.

BTW, what's the difference between Basement Jaxx live and a DJ set? Is it sort of like the difference between Justice live and Justice DJ set or is it more akin to Moby live vs. Moby DJ set?
