Attention Dutch fans of good rock music!
 

Get your arses down to Melkweg on 22nd April, or you'll miss the legends that are The Scientists.

Oh amazing! Why did they sort them as emo? Stupid melkweg people. Melkweg rules, I went to their storage and climbed on the stage and helped set somethings up. It was great.

Should I go to this show?

Yes.


The Scientists turned my head around and made a man out of me! They grew hair on my palms and made my socks stink!
Jon Spencer

They wrote fantastic singles and looked like they just crawled out of the ooze. What more could you ask for?
Warren Ellis

The Scientists proved to me that rock n roll could be played by gentlemen in fine silk shirts half unbuttoned and still be dirty, cool and real.
Thurston Moore

so i don't think i'll be able to go see the scientists.

anyway, also for people in spain, france and the uk according to their site:
Saturday 14th: Madrid - Gruta 77 (Spain)
Saturday 15th: Barcelona - Be Cool (Spain)
Tuesday 17th: Rennes - Mondo Bizarro (France)
Sunday 22nd: Amsterdam - Melkweg (Holland)
Thursday 26th: London - Spitz (UK)
Friday 27th - 29th:Somerset - ATP Festival (UK)

Are you going to Roadburn? That's a damn fine-looking festival, I wish I was going.

I couldn't recall us having any regularly-posting boardies from Spain or the Rennes area of France, so I didn't bother posting those. I'm going to the London show. Last time I saw Scientists play was November 1985 :D.
