heres an interview

https://certainsound.net/words-with-autechre-2015-1/

edit: ya have to subscribe to read the full interview so.. blue balls.  

Derek Walmsley assesses to what extent Ae are unique in the world of electronic music given their live shows represent a space of spontaneous creation while the release of live albums and radio sessions have started to feel as essential as their studio output... if not more so

This Arthurian Genghis Derek was given 400 quid to write an article about Autechre and he used the Deepak Chopra quote generator.

Giving that serious consideration

i wonder if they're waiting for post US election to come here? idk.  been almost 10 years. hopefully the conditions are right for USA tour soon.

Glad I saw the last one in Denver and have an official soundboard (the dude running sound was wearing an avenged sevenfold hoodie lol)

I’m reminded of people saying “come to [US city]” in AAA and Sean responding something like “tell your local venue or promoter”

on mastodon someone asked when they were coming back to USA and if they had plans yet. and he said "i wouldn't call it plans but discussions are happening" and that was a year or so ago maybe? i'm sure there's lot's of things that have to line up for them to come here. in some ways it's a real pain and it's expensive because working visa situation is fucking stupid for touring musicians.

Guessing the American government doesn’t like artists entering the states, making money, then taking that money abroad - applies to any country I guess. Might help explain why working visas are hard to get for smaller groups. Someone like Iron Maiden, for example, will fill a stadium and thousands of people descend on a small area with cash to spend (and the stadium owners probably fund city council folks).

big bands have less worry about margins. i think it's like $3k+ to get a visa. though i've heard it's even more than that??? . so, it's expensive for smaller acts not making a ton of money w/every gig.  they played 2 shows here in 2015. back to back. both were sold out. the 2nd date was only added after the first one sold out quickly and the time slot was there as they had a day off before going up to seattle. 

also, big bands hire a touring company in USA so they are giving work to americans.. though i'm sure there's a whole group that comes w/them from UK or wherever for doing sound and monitor mixes and they're usual people for working on certain parts of the live show. 

anyway.. the situation is dumb in usa for touring musicians and makes little sense when considering all the offshoring and revenue loss from business as usual manufacturing outsourcing etc. not like they're going to make up a bunch of revenue by charging artists a lot of money to come here. it's fuckn dumb. make it easy and cheap. everyone wins. good for businesses and venues etc..

Last fall I predicted an announced US tour for the new year - guess it’ll be 2025

Is there some autechrey relevance to post election that I'm missing that you are wondering about?

i just wonder if the general vibe of america is off-putting to foreigners in an extra kind of way because election year? as in "sheesh.. let's at least wait until post election.. maybe people will chillout some".  i mean, i know the election year vibe is off-putting to americans  

sean did post a question something like "how's things over there?" a while back and hinted at mentally preparing. the post got a lot of comments from americans about expectations in different places and "it's fine.. come over" 

I think most people hate trump but don't care otherwise, don't think it would be any factor going, the lesser of 2 evils sort of thing

Your election is extremely boring to the rest of the world

and yet, still a nuisance if a band wants to come here.. so much so that they might think "ugh.. lets just wait for that shit to be over in case people start shooting each other"

that's all i'm getting at.. not saying it's some kind of factor of daily life in bristol and norway. there's plenty of things that make people not want to come here for a tour.. chief among them may be as simple as "can i tolerate this environment for 4-8 weeks?"

I imagine doors open at 7, then there'll be DJ set and/or support act. The boys will be on around 9.30-10.00.

Tickets for Manchester sold out in minutes

Seriously, Sean and Rob if you're reading this, please either do more dates or play bigger venues.
