Is there support for Mars Volta @ Galatos?

Forums: NZ Music,

not too sure, but it's sold out now i think. Peaches is on at the Kings Arms the same night and The Datsuns are playing on the Wednesday. It's going to be a big week.

As a warm up for all the excellent gigs on 15th Jan you could pop along to Real Groovy about 6 - 6:30 PM and have a wee boogie with Devil Gate Drive .... they are doing an "in-store" there that night.

re: the datsuns. is that a ticketed gig? door sales? both? i'm flying into akl the day before so it could be difficult.

and yeah, I'm flying into akl on tuesday as to go to the QOTSA gig that isn't happening. vent vent vent....

try ticketek

i always get a giggle out of buying tickets to go to the kings arms. it's kinda like phoning the guy down at the mobil and reserving a 11:30 appointment on pump 6.

//and yeah, I'm flying into akl on tuesday as to go to the QOTSA gig that isn't happening. vent vent vent....

yeah me too :(
Now I have to find something to do with all my spare time up there

tried ticketek - no luck. the dork on C4 said that tix were available from the kings arms itself, but he's a dork and sounded like he was making it up on the spot. :)

well, tamadrummer, we could throw out the moral compass, get a nice hotel room and a crate of fine bubbles and some fine-ass blow and just see what happens for those 3 days. what goes on within those sordid rooms stays within those walls, just as long as you foot the bill. the time will pass pretty quickly.

Lots of man-love moments.

haha, kinky!! tclak do you wanna join in??
actually I am staying at a hotel.......

Heh heh heh ... classic ...

theres something sad about the fact that i've ended up in auckland and cannot go to the BDO or any of the side show gigs..... damn me and my need to go ice skating and now the fact that my parents are babysitting me till i get off the crutches

who knows, maybe they just won't have any...maybe they have jealousy issues with stage space...or maybe i'm just talking bollocks...

i bought a ticket just 2 days a go and it wasn't sold out.

Is anyone else going to these wed/thurs shows?

The Datsuns at KA should be great fun, and MV's electronic, 70's bongo rock is definatly something i want to see indoors.

i'll b in attendance at the Volta sporting some very red eyes.

i'll be at the mars volta to witness the prog freakout glory. datsuns maybe. i hear it's only $20, which is strangely cheap-o for a band of 'international standard.'

I'm pretty sure I'm going to Mars Volta, would like to go to The Datsuns as well, where is Kings Arms??

Kings Arms is in France St, Newton. it's sort of on the outskirts of the cbd. anyway, since i'm complete rubbish at attempting to explain locations, you'd be heavily advised to look in a map book. it's easy to find, honest...

A not so trustworthy source told me it was 'Cortina'.

anyone care to second that?

Cortina and The Coolies are supporting Peaches at The Kings Arms.

That will be a fun gig... unless someone wants to sell me some Mars Volta tickets...

Mars Volta ain't sold out?!?!

Is it? If not, I am hitting Ticketek very soon.

you in akld Eddie?

Nope... not until Thursday lunch time.

I'm just pissed off that Muse and The Mars Volta are clashing at the BDO! The two bands I really want to see.........

i know, i know,,,, it just makes the MV sideshow that much more unmissable. cannot WAIT to see muse live.

Don't forget about NEWAYHOME, NOSITTAP and COLD BY WINTER playin at Papa Jacks, this will surely be the pick of the Pre BDO gigs... Granted, i do have Bias, but then i like INTELLIGENTLY WRITTEN HEAVY FRIGGIN MUSIC!!!

PS - Fuck Ze Datsuns, boring wana be D4 rip offs!!!

haha classic, gotta love those WINZ bands eh.

rohmaz's post is so funny....right from the start when it declares that show to be "the pick of the pre-BDO gigs" right through to saying that The Datsuns rip off The D4...haha, brilliant.

fuck the datsuns and the D4. . the strokes are playing at bdo . .

Yep, you’re biased Rohmaz, and so are we. We’re also picking the Cold By Winter - Nosittap - NeWayHome gig above all other pre-BDO shows as the best kick start to the weekend.

man why would you want to alienate yourselfs by posting stuff like that. people will just think you are dicks.

unless i totally missed the joke, then i'm sorry.

Yep, missed it. Apology accepted. :)

peaches at kings arms is gonna be awesome.

would be better with Iggy Pop

That chick is kinda ugly...

Yes! I have my ticket to see Peaches. I'm really looking forward to it.

It's good that there's an alternative to all the pre-BDO big gigantic rock shows.

Fuzzy thotch? I say yes.

peaches is nothing but a singing prostitute. peaches is not cool at all. and if anyone says they are going to see her for the music then you need to have a good look at yourselfs. :)

Howdy

THE MARS VOLTA WILL KICK ASS

they are one of the most dynamic and insane bands on record today... I can't wait to hear them play live and compare versions of their songs... I want to see whether they can play all those crazy time changes and rhythm variations. Sure they may be prog but so are Radiohead and they were the biggest band in the world a couple years ago...

BTW, the Datsuns and the D4 are both shite. So are The Strokes. People have been making inane, chugging, riff-based lo-fi rubbish that a monkey could play for years, I can't believe it's popular now, it's either they hype or perhaps it must be because they use spectacularly profound lyricism like "MOTHERF****R FROM HELL!!!!!".

Nice one guys.

garage rock should stay in the f***ng garage.

love John

ok- so the dats & the d4 do suck- but tmv couldnt kick a dead weasels ass if it was stapled to their steel cap- keep on writing such things & well deem you a fuckwit

thats pretty funny considering MV's guitar sound.

//4music.co.nz//

Heh.

have you even heard them??

hey zeus.

I agree, Garage Rock should stay in the Garage... its pollutin our airwaves so much to the point that people are startin to think its good... If i hear another 1-4-5 chord progression under the Critical acclaim banner ill lose all hope for NZ music... We've already had to feel the Shame of Pan Am, can we please expand our musical vocabulary???

PS - NEWAYHOME OWNS YOU ALL...

i wish the mars volta was still atdi. then i would pay a stupid fifty bucks to go see them. as is, fuck that.
im thinkin either the peaches cos then i can go see lostprophets @ bdo [timeclash] and see the coolies without going somewhere expressly to see the coolies........ or i could go to newayhomething. wot are they like? compare to other bands please.

// wish the mars volta was still atdi.

classic.

NeWayHome are the shiz nay

Newayhome...

Messhugga, Mudvayne esque.

Very very good.

sorry but just wondering in regards to the title, does anyone know if there is support for mars volta?

... hehee I keep on checking this forum to find out who the support is, and no-one has come up with it yet.

I'm missing it anyway.
