Sinister: Re: jeepster-news: Belle & Sebastian - USA Confirmed Dates and n
by Katrina House 11 Sep '98

Hi everone, someone's been asking questions, so i thought you might all want to know the answers ... > why were the t shirts £15 and only in large? basically, when you play the empire you HAVE to use the concessions company they employ to sell any merchandise the band have and then they take 25% of the gross profits for themselves. so, for the band to be making their profit, we had to put the prices up to cover the buggery venue charges ... really sorry about that and we did print on the back of the flyers (handed out by funkyseb, fred and rommel ... thank you!) that the charges were ridiculous and that you could get them from mail-order - http://www.jeepster.co.uk - an awful lot cheaper. both the t-shirts were available in small, medium and lage, so if the blokies behind the counter said otherwise, they were LYING! again, the full range can be found on the jeepster site. > and why did they come on so late ? it meant that they played late and we all > missed our trains and had to pay £30 for a taxi. well, there were technical problems (drum kits + onstage monitors apparently) and the band were also very very very nervous. i've heard that a couple of band members were continually visiting the loos before the gig, as they've never played anything of that size before. understandable i think, but probably still not the best excuse ever. the band have apologised to anyone the inconvenienced with them going on late. that's it! cheers, Katrina. > They should play in London again > > tim -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Should I go to NY?

Why not go to Toronto?? Chances are the venue will be smaller and you'll get closer to B&S... And the Canadian dollar is so bloody cheap (half the US dollar), although I doubt that's anything to brag about because now imports just cost a hell of a lot more!!

Sinister: Strap: Changes to us

Should we be, like, changing with the times man and be called the Strap list from now on. This would be highly ironic for me personally as I am highly strapped for spondulics at the the moments and my ever expanding beer belly snapped my fake plastic belt this morning. Anyway I don't give a flying coz it Friday and I have a feeling I'm going to meet my eventual wife this weekend.

Sinister: Should I go to NY?
by Mark Casarotto 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Okay, here goes... I am toying with the idea of taking a few days off and flying to NYC for one or both of the gigs. I would greatly appreciate any encouragement, cajoling and advice, as I know no-one (that I can think of) in New York, and feel a bit like a small furry animal trying to contemplate quantum physics about the whole caboodle. But I haven't been on holiday in 3 years, have never been to the States, and reckon this may be the last great opportunity of my youth. Please, please mail me privately if you have anything at all to say or suggest. So obviously if I do take a big breath and go for it, I'll second Niceaction's desire to meet up with some of you - I promise I'm not as snappy in real life as I may have been on occasion on the list :-) So write, my friends, and hopefully I'll meet some more of you soon...?

Hi all, well, i've been attacked again for information and i dunno whether this should all remain confidential or not, but our midweek (as of yesterday - ie sales for mon, tues + wed) is .... 7. can you believe it? " ... sinister" never even got inside the top 75 and here we are looking at a ... well, a hit i suppose! however, we're likely to be taken over by something as banal as simply red or mike oldfield ... so, it'll be a fight with hole to stay inside the top 10. anyone not bought 3 copies yet? ... :) cheers, Katrina. -- ************************************************************************ jeepster recordings ltd. - mailto:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn, uk phone - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A Summer Wasted on Tigermilk
by Kevan Cooke 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Mark said: > Please don't anyone EVER try drinking Tigermilk "wine" just because > of the name - it is like THUNDERBIRD but with a pound of sugar stirred > in. Eesh. Now some of you might be able to guess what I am about to say... Lutomer Tigermilk is one of ours! One of the perks at work is that I can get bottles of Tigermilk cheap! But I don't like sweet wine, so I don't. Seymour Stein is about the trip to New York covered in Staurt David's Little Ink Movie isn't it? The one where Stevie couldn't go because of real life? Honey is right, the reviews are pish. The Grauniad review of Shepherds Bush looks like it was written by someone who didn't manage to get hold of a ticket and guessed what it was like - full of pale youths apparently. On TWATTYBUS (thanks Sister Disco) there a few places where the lyrics on the sleeve are slightly different to those actually sung, but hasn't Stuart just got it wrong when he sings "seven years of river walkways" instead of "seven weeks..." during A Summer Wasting? If you listen real hard you can actually hear him thinking "Shit, I messed that up, if I just carry on perhaps no one will notice" Kevan The Fat Slug +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
