brighton aint big at all. the Sallis Benney Theatre is in The Art College which is slap bang in the middle of the town. 15minutes on foot from the train station.

Well it's bigger than the town where I live! :o

Weekend Passes now available for purchase (pick up from the door on the day) from chocolate monk at http://www.chocolatemonk.co.uk/coos.htm

oh yeah, as well as doing a short reading on sunday evening in the garden, Byron Coley will also chair a panel discussion on sunday afternoon..
''sound poetry in post-tongue culture.'

In an era where the very concept of 'word' has been consumed by its own viral context, a group of composers and improvisors has taken certain
precepts of spontaneous verbal composition and applied them to musical communciation. This has created a mode of conversational sound poetry
that often exists without the impediment of the human voice as a constituent member of the creative team. Noise/music, live/taped/sampled, improvised/composed, psych/volk/free, all of these basic incarnations of individual-spirit engage in variations of phonic regurgitation. This talk will explore the synchretic and editorial roles of defined-thought-process and social-history inside this continuum. From the history of the american mimeo underground to the ghost-promise of internet pornography. Nothing is forbidden.

blunderbuss, is it London Gatwick, right? is it really so close to Brighton?

dylan_nyoukis, should I buy tickets now, or do you think there will be no problem buy tickets at the venue on sunday?

Yes, London Gatwick. There is a railway station at the airport with trains going straight to Brighton, and the journey takes about forty minutes.

greenlight 08.11.2008 10:38 AM

cool. checked ryainair, ticket is fairly cheap! I'm there dude!

stu666 08.11.2008 11:19 AM

dylan_nyoukis 08.11.2008 03:22 PM

Well?

blunderbuss 08.12.2008 05:30 AM

Very understandable. These overseas trips to see bands tend to end up very expensive, no matter how cheaply you try to do them.

greenlight 08.12.2008 08:37 AM

were are you from Nefeli?

greenlight 08.12.2008 08:42 AM

dylan_nyoukis what's your stance towards videotaping ("amateurish" style and not for any commercial use) as a promoters (SY doesn't mind taping them, they only like copy of everything you record)? I videotaped Lee's ToL performance in Brno '08 , Lee wasn't against, same promoters.

stu666 08.12.2008 12:47 PM

just ordered my tickets, i'm officially going now! :) only for sunday though as i can't afford accommodation for 3 nights :(

stu666 08.12.2008 02:35 PM

greenlight 08.12.2008 03:10 PM

theres a lot of cheap hostels./.. heres a couple http://grapevinewebsite.co.uk/accommodation.html

as for tickets, dunno if i would risk just turning up on sunday,, sold quite a lot of weekend passes and i expect sunday tohave a lot of SY fans just turning up for Thurston, might be best just to buy on ahead of schedule..

as for videotaping,, knock yrself out!! dont bother us.. oh but please dont refer to me as a 'promoter',, ughhh,, i am a retarded 'noiscian' mong' artist just like many of the folks on the bill,, i just curate the event.. 99% of promoters make me wanna poke my own eyes out..:)

dylan_nyoukis 08.14.2008 12:55 PM

this hostel seems pretty cheap too, esp if yr just coming for the sunday night,, maybe some of you stragglers should look into booking a dorm together..

just an idea, you numbnuts

:D there will be a TON of merch in the foyer.

MellySingsDoom 08.22.2008 03:44 AM

^^^Yay! Look forward to wasting loads of cash at the merch stand, dylan :)

blunderbuss 08.22.2008 11:28 AM

The event is being merched by Volanic Tongue, according to their web site. Dunno if they're the only merchers or not.

greenlight 08.22.2008 01:03 PM

cool. i want to buy some nice vinyls.

This Is Not Here 08.22.2008 01:37 PM

The tickets for Sunday on the Brighton Tickets site appear to have sold out. Am I buggered, is there another way, or do I have to buy a weekend pass?

greenlight 08.22.2008 01:41 PM

oh are they? uff. good I booked mine.

This Is Not Here 08.22.2008 01:46 PM

Well, I'm at another festival that weekend where I'm seeing My Bloody Valentine, Fuck Buttons and Aphex Twin, so I'm not exactly going to throw my toys out the pram if I've left it too late, but it would be cool to go...

greenlight 08.22.2008 02:26 PM

how much is three day pass?
well, that festival thingy sounds good as well.

dylan_nyoukis 08.22.2008 04:15 PM

£25

Are Reines D'Angleterre headlining on the Saturday? I'd love to see what Ghedalia Tazartes does live, but I'll only be able to if they play in the afternoon.


EDIT - Oh. I've just seen, the start time each day is 6 pm, so no-one will be playing in the afternoon :o

Iain 09.01.2008 11:39 AM

I totally missed this thread. I am going to this, it should be great. Just ordered my 3 day pass. Well looking forward to Skullflower/Vibracathedral/Reines in a row and trying not to but ending up spending way too much on merch.

Any Brighton residents got any tips on fine/cheap places to eat?

greenlight 09.01.2008 11:40 AM

so who from this board is coming to this?

MellySingsDoom 09.01.2008 11:43 AM

I'm going for the whole 3 days. Whoopee!

Blunderbuss - what days are you going on?

greenlight 09.01.2008 11:44 AM

oh yeah, hopefully Thurston is billed for Sunday according to program posted above by dylan_nyoukis and not Friday as according to calendar section on this page.

edit
cool Iain so you'll be there as well!

whorefrost 09.01.2008 01:14 PM

I've got my weekend pass, just need to sort out accomodation. anyone found a cheap nearby hostel yet?

stu666 09.01.2008 01:35 PM
