zotzSo, from the 4ad site, the up-to-date and complete dates for the European tour are as follows:
March
18 - Utrecht Tivoli, Holland
19 - Brussels Ancienne Belgique, Belgium
20 - London Astoria, England
22 - Dublin Ambassador, Ireland
23 - Glasgow QMU, Scotland
Still, it's better than nothing. I have my ticket for London, of course. I'm feeling slightly disappointed about it not being the Glasgow gig instead, as the first time I saw them it was at the QMU, supported by The Sundays. Alan Thomson was there, certainly. I can't remember who else.

Date: 2003-02-25 01:57 pm (UTC)It was the general hanging out with the rest of the board till all hours that did for my degree. All night Risk sessions, those were the days... ;)
Still, with edited highlights it looks damn good on my CV, despite the lack of an academic achievements.
*Well they told me there was a glamorous side... I did get to meet Nik Fiend once.
Re: Glasgow
Date: 2003-02-25 02:06 pm (UTC)What? They were a C86 band. No, really.
Yes. I liked my spare time activities much more than my course. So I adjusted my course slightly so that it was more interesting. And ended up in Cambridge. Something went wrong somewhere, I think.
Re: Glasgow
Date: 2003-02-25 02:09 pm (UTC)I ended up in Aberdeen for a while. There's hope for you yet. :)
Re: Glasgow
Date: 2003-02-25 02:56 pm (UTC)Several years later, EUSA didn't have Radiohead in freshers' week largely because I'd forgotten to suggest it a few months earlier.
Did I feel stupid? Just slightly. They would have been dirt cheap, too, because they'd had no hits - until the week before, when Creep went top ten.

Time will tell.

Date: 2003-02-26 01:32 am (UTC)One of the people I was on Potterrow committee with would have wanted them. He was very into Nirvana from Bleach onwards.
Yes, sounds good. Sounds excellent. We did get Creaming Jesus in twice, though. Not quite as impressive, really, is it?
I'll see your Nirvana and raise you Husker Du

Date: 2003-02-26 05:37 am (UTC)Potterrow, obviously.
Re: I'll see your Nirvana and raise you Husker Du
Date: 2003-02-26 06:07 am (UTC)Hüsker Dü, eh? As a certain Mr Stephenson said, "Not bad for a two-umlaut band." I wish I'd seen them. I did catch Sugar, though, which is some small comfort.
I'm told that Dü Hüsker's first words on seeing the stage were the same as every other band's - "Is that safe?"

Date: 2003-02-26 08:51 am (UTC)I was told while I was on the committee that they'd been as aghast at the arrangements as everyone else, but of course that could be wrong.

Date: 2003-02-26 06:19 am (UTC)I made a proposal to address this ("This reply is in response to an earlier version of the parent") but LJ basically said "good idea, but someone has to actually code it", and I don't know the LJ codebase...

Date: 2003-02-26 04:18 am (UTC)Now if there were being supported by the Sundays again, that would be a draw (for me, anyway). I liked the Sundays.
There was another band from around that era that I really liked -- the Julie Dolphin. Does anybody remember them/know what happened to them?

Date: 2003-02-26 04:44 am (UTC)Last news was apparently that they've had sprog no. 2. So at least they're up to something productive.
I've not come across Julie Dolphin. What sort of thing?
Re:
Date: 2003-02-26 05:36 am (UTC)As for the Julie Dolphin -- kind of like the Sundays but a bit heavier. I can't find a website or anything unfortunately, I expect they're long defunct -- the last time I saw them was in 1994. They released an LP called "Lit" in that year too, which is very good.
