BOC worth seeing live?

So... and for those of you who are also West Coast US... at Coachella festival this year, BOC is performing. I don't really care that much about the other acts (although Roxy Music with Brian Eno is on the bill).

Who has seen BOC live? Trying to decide if I should bother...

first off yes of course see boc

second where did you learn the

lineup and who else is playing.

:phone:

Nah, they obviously suck now.

CHRIST where did you find that out? link!!!!!!!

and YES go see them even for the older stuff, pre TCH

i willing to bet on [no]

has boc ever played a clusterfuck event like coachella?

It wouldn't surprise me actually, after archirival said they stated in a few interviews that a lot of TCH was based around the film zabriskie point, which was filmed not too far away from coachella... well it's in the same state i think.

btw, the lineup was emailed to me by a close (and reliable) friend in the media industry. The list of acts is already making it's way around otherwise, so I'm sure it will be formally announced any day.

and now that I look closer... there might be quite a few acts there I would enjoy. Portishead, Ladytron, Sigur Ros, Ween, and of course BOC and Roxy.

Well, that's the lineup according to Warner Music (internally).

If BOC are iffy with festivals, that's another deal... but at this point Warner says they are playing. And I think it's safe to say that most (if not all) of the other acts on that list are planning to perform.

coachella has a myspace

myspace.com/coachella.

boc only plays clusterfuck shows.

To any English dreamers with a lot of money...

Manchester to Palm Springs Airport, 28 April, 11am depart

PSP to MAN, 1st May, 9am depart

Delta Airlines £436.10

Continental £520

United Airlines £470

i would give anything... but in reality, probably not that.

oh look now you have made my eyes rain

lol :clover:

i've seen them, they were pretty good. i'd be wary of seeing them since campfire. the lineup sounds like a mix of has-beens who have done good but suck now and crappy newcomers. i wouldn't pay more than a couple of quid to see any of those acts.

hmm that's an amazing line up if it's true

:getlost:

I will go to see BoC and then i'll leave. it will be great. it will be completely worth it because i won't be pissed off the entire time because of the heat (it is fucking UNGODLY) and the shit accomodations.

I went a couple years ago and wanted to see all these acts but decided i was going to die from the heat so i missed a bunch. i saw radiohead, air, kraftwerk and some other crap too.. like belle and sebastien there.

i might buy my ticket now and if boc backs out i'll sell it for 400 bucks on ebay.

oh yeah my brother went with us too and he left the second day because he was gonna miss a raid on everquest

fuck you lmao

I don't see it happening, but if it does, someone should try make a good recording. Or if you notice that someone is trying to, shut up. On some of the live recordings, you can hear peoples conversations nearly all throughout. There is this mindblowingly beautiful music that sounds like it comes from some higer plane, and all I can over the top is "Dave's not here" "Where's Mark?" "Not here" "oh" "Yeah so how are you" "Dave!" "Nah, not him" "No" "Dave's not here"

Firstly, how could you be anything but silent, SPEECHLESS, if you were actually there?

And second, SSHUT UP!

I have three live recordings,

10 Years Party

ATP

and Lighthouse Party

Do any more exist, or can you get hold of these with better sound quality?

I bet if they do perform live, they have something no-one's heard before.
