I've no idea what the Roundhouse is like, I'm afraid. I'm sure that someone from the board went to see Cat Power there though.

edit - It was Screamingskull.

Was it not closed a few years ago?It must have been re-opened recently because i was under the impression that it was no more.

i saw cat power there in november, its pretty nice and clean and they have strange food available. the exit is terrible though, you will spend 20mins+ trying to leave the venue.

I keep almost crying, im so happy and excited!!!!!

and we will have to have a big meet up, ALL THE SONIC YOUTH BOARDIES!!!!

the website says about 3000 people...

What are the views of the stage like, Screamingskull, and how good is the sound?

would this sell out soon? if i'd hop over to the uk i'd want to get a ticket for the standing space of course...

Q. How many people does the Roundhouse hold?
A. 3,000 standing, 1,800 seated in the Main Space. 120 seated in the new FREEDM Studio.

it's a round venue, there is a step down close to the stage, but apart from that it is completely flat, so don't stand behind anyone tall!!!
There is a balcony around the outside edge, but people on there would have a pretty shit view i think.

i feel sorry for all the other posters on here who are at work right now and are unaware of this :( GET HOME SOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!

Do you really think we don't look at the board when we're at work? :D

Not that it matters too much, I don't think it's going to sell out this afternoon.

this is literally going to be the best thing ever.

mmmm, i was at college trying to do work but i got bored so i logged on and saw this.........rushed home and bought my tickets.

FUCK YEAH MAN, im sooo fucking excited.

THANK YOU SONIC YOUTH !!!

I think you're getting a bit carried away there.

it's like someone wrote down my dream gig, then made it happen.:p :) :eek:

i believe daydream nation (with the exeption of total trash) to be the single greatest work of music ever recorded, and i likes my music.

for me (and screamingskull) it will be the best thing ever. even better seeing them at both ATP shows in minehead.

incredible.
wish i could be in England then.

This may sound a tad ungrateful, but I'd rather see them perform EVOL or Sister. I'll enjoy Daydream Nation, I'm sure, but one of those two really would rock my socks off.

It'll be interesting to see what they'll do with DDN these days (Please don't let it just be a straightforward performance of each song), but it just seems a little bit of a predictable choice.

judas!!!!

woohoo! i just bought my ticket


exactly.

I'll be the grumpy old guy in the corner, complaining about the state of music today: "They had melodies in my day, you know, none of this terrible noise..."

:p
