Hello Sinisters Apparently no-one has yet posted about recent meeting at 'all tomorrows party' in camber sand. I have to admit I'm a bit late with the reading all the recent messages therefore if there is going to be some carbon copy in the following please have mercy of me. First of all, I'm glad to report that sinister team has once again dominated the football tournament. Unfortunately (for me) I have neither being in the team nor attended at the final match... well I guess if was 'fortunately' for the team... :) ... ehm.. Can I consider this as my tiny contribution to the F.C.*sinister* to get it right and remain the champions? :) About the festival: I’ve been terribly serious and I guess have attended to something like 20 shows... hence I fear it is going to be terribly boring to report in case I report about them all... just a note about the one I liked more. Shellac, the organizers were amazing and they are apparently quite nice guys compared to what they were pictured [even if the clash with Steve Albini at the pub hasn’t been really friendly], Oxes, They are totally nuts, but the black lattex? leather? dress of one of the guitarist, Nat, has been one of the clues of the festival... to stay to weird dressing, I would mention Jeff Muller, floppy yellowish hat, horrible indeed despite ‘the shipping news’ has been one the best, and personally the best act I’ve attended during the week end. I head Ken Chu as been amazing (seriously) but I’ve missed that... shame!.... Shannon Wright, has been the greatest surprise, I thik it is the next record I’m going to pay, once I will recovery to the mortgage I had to open to afford to the ATP ticket sales... nina nastasia, was quite good as well, thought a little boring year in year out, especially when getting to ‘country-styled ‘. Hip Hip Hurra, for ‘three second kiss’ the only one Italian band set to play while shellac where on stage... so for a very little minority. They was more than fine, those who have liked shellac would appreciate them as well, I guess, check ‘em out. Last couple of notes. The first is for ‘Godspeed You Black Emperor! I missed them a couple of weeks ago in London because the tickets went sold out, which is rather impressive as I’ve attended to the concert of the band who played immediately before them, ‘Do Mak Say Think’ a couple of years ago in Italy and there were something like only 20 people other than me. [by the way they are playing tonight at 93 feet east in brick lane... is anyone in the mood to go???? Mail me then!!] Anyway I think they deserve the sell-out! And the last is for ‘The Fall’...they bring me back to high-school, which is a good feeling for a while at least and especially performed afterwards in the pub... more detailed about that from other sinister attending at the scene, and tremendously waiting for ‘Papa M’ snapshot... stay tuned on the next sinister report about that, I bet them would be a good fun! A note of delusion for ‘Smog’ it was really ‘too much’ even for a huge fan as I am.. I think it is a pity he played without the band, cause I was lucky enough to see him just before moving to London in Milan, and it has been one of the best gig I’ve ever been and I was therefore I’ve been kind of double disappointed.... mmhmh Well I think this is really all about the festival.... for the music point of view. Meeting again and meeting new sinister has been really brilliant, and I’m SORRY for disappearing without say ‘hello’ in the search for lost chalet-mate.... I think I’ve written too much already, hence I‘ll shut up. Take care, your very sinister, stefano +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
