Beach House - Bloom

[mr.selfDestruct]

correct me if i'm wrong but 'the buzz' seemed to die down fairly fast, i wonder how it's actually selling?


they were a big band ..... but in a small scene imo and while journalists and hardcore fans adore them the general populace haven't a clue who they are in the main.

similar to the Las cork gig a few years back, most folk only know one song of theirs and were reluctant to pay 20 euro (or more) for just one song

What's Las short for? Sorry, the motor isn't running well this morning-this afternoon.

mbv still got the obligatory 9.something rating from Pitchfork though

You're probably right Jim. I suppose if they play a gig in Dublin or Belfast, plus being part of the Harmonic thing at the Marquee, with another big indie name, it might sell ok.

Personally I'd love to see Michael Rother on the Harmonic bill. Or Animal Collective.

Thanks for that! I had been checking his site over the last couple of years - since he's being touring with a band playing mostly Neu!- but i managed to miss that.

Caught him at Primavera a few years ago and he was excellent.

He was terrific - it was a really great show.

Unreal. I'll have to get my skates on so and get a ticket.
