@nicoot – ha ha! I already have my eurostar train booked, leaving Brussels on the 2nd. In any case, I’m not even sure I’ll handle three shows in three nights. Four in four just might send me over the edge!
I’m looking at another excursion from the UK, this time to Amsterdam, Nijmegen, and Leuven. Hope to see some of you there!
Now that we have a new thread, I’d like to point out again that I know a promoter in London who would be interested to chat with the band about trying to sort out London dates – for this tour or future ones. But I have no way of contacting the band and don’t want to post my friend’s email here. If anyone knows how to bring them together, DM me at jyotipunj at hotmail dot com.
I know a London promoter who has said to me today that he’d be open to talking with Motorpsycho, if they’re interested to have a chat about a possible London date. Two festivals happening in May that could be good fits include Desertfest (though I’m not sure the dates [16-18 May] would actually work out as the band already have shows on 16th and 17th) and Portals (24-25 May). In any case, if someone could help me get my friend’s email to the band, please let me know how.
@Emily Grimes – Many thanks. Great setlist! Bandha followed by The Bonfire, The Sun must’ve been epic!
@bernie – I think I love you
@boomer – sounds amazing. I’m glad you had a great show. No doubt a setlist will appear somewhere, some time.
I really wish I could have come to Leuven for this. Møster! have made, and continue to make, music that appeals to me on a number of levels. The new album, Springs (certainly one of my albums of the year), is superb and I expect the shows will be memorable. I’m interested to learn what the setlists are and to hear any recordings that surface. To all those who are going to see them … Have fun!
Thanks everyone for posting the dates. I’ve been watching from a distance, nervous after my last Motorpsycho tours/shows had to be cancelled. Leuven is looking very alluring right now, but I’m still waiting to hear about NL and UK.
@Johnny – Let’s see if it is indeed on a new album Neigh!, as listed on the Small Boats cover. If not, email me at jyotipunj at hotmail dot com
[SPOILER ALERT]
@otherdemon – after a longish almost Hawkwind-like atmospheric intro it leaps into a solid driving psychedelic, motorik-like rhythm with psych Snah vocals and a mid-song instrumental section. 5 min 39 sec. It sounds like it could have fit on Yay! or any one of a half dozen other albums. I love it!Aside from Psycholab, I listened to the first CD of Small Boats this morning. Not only a great choice of songs, but they flow excellently.
I just got home from Rough Trade (West London). I queued for about half an hour to get in. They had received only two copies of the CD, one of which had already been sold, and the other had the barcode scratched through and someone’s name wrtten on the cover. I was offered the vandalised one for free, which I obvioulsy accepted. I love the new track, Psycholab. And the tracklist is excellent – well done to English Psychonaut Simon Keeler for compiling it. Also, the cover artwork is brilliant, very humorous.
@Krist – I knew in advance that the shop, Rough Trade, were being strict with their Record Store Day one-copy-only policy, but you should be able to order at their online store. Good luck.@punknotyet – YES! Fragments and HMB2 would also definitely be very welcome additions.
I’m very pleased with this development. Having been a relative latecomer, there are numerous releases I was unable to purchase. Admittedly, I managed to acquire a few through less legitimate channels, but it has always been my hope that the band would use their Bandcamp account to make some of the less easily accessible material available for download. Now I can start buying this stuff, add it to my collection, and put a few more pennies in the band’s bank account.
The one re-release I would really like to see is Child of the Future. I don’t generally buy vinyl, unless it comes with a CD or downloads. So, as well as the singles and EPs getting released, I’m hoping this great album will also be rereleased on Bandcamp.
Many thanks to Wulf and all the other tapers, as well as those who do post-production work. And many thanks to Bernie, too.
As I’ve had to pull out of four of the last six MP shows I’ve had tickets for, and on top of that had two UK shows cancelled, I am deeply grateful for the oportunity to at least hear some of those shows and others.
@ThorEgil – thanks!
