RATATAT - A CLASSIC ROAR
A CLASSIC ROAR...
The street tigers of instrumental dualism, jump straight out of Crown Heights, NY to stalk the wilds of Australia and New Zealand. After their eponymous 2004 debut ('a surprisingly buoyant thrash ... intensely pleasurable' Pitchfork), and its underground hit "Seventeen Years", Ratatat spent over a year touring in the USA with Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, Mouse on Mars, the Stills, and the Killers. Now the duo Mike Stroud and Even "E*vax" Mast, return with their follow-up release, the impeccable '42 thrill-packed minutes' of "Classics" has hit the stage with renegade rhythms, torch wielding excursions into the instrumental wilderness all twisted through beats and plateaus, bestial monoliths, dark streets and late nights.
Now in full visual fury wear their classic roar in Australia/New Zealand

POSITIVE BANG
pity they are playing at ding gon
Good supports.
KABLAMMIE!!!! GOOD TIMES!
Awesome.
Nice. how much are tickets?
Fuck - what a weekend. Ratatat and Erase Errata back to back.
I was at Ding Dong the other night and they didn't know the ticket prices. And they wouldn't sell them to me. Annoying.
Yes, such a shame it's at Dil Do Lounge.
A band I would really like to see but I refuse to give the owners of this cunt-of-a-place any of my money.
so is this band meant to be any good live?
i forgot they were playing TOMORROW NIGHT and was kinda looking forward to a quiet friday
reviews say yes. intuition says don't bother
intuition wins out this time
my ears say... do you really want to hear noodly guitar-tronica that sounds like a poor man's telefon tel aviv? and my brain answers: meh.
"e*vax" probably says it all for me.. although if i'm feeling bored and adventurous and spendthrift (ie. three planets align!)... see you bitches there.
i think the dong tickets are $20. you can get them on moshtix.com.au
is there any way of finding out set time for Webel Webel? Their website hasn't been updated in a month and doesn’t tell you anyway. (if LeSnak or katzenjammer have a worksheet…)
they're the kinda band i'm prone to liking more "in theory" rather than actually just like, liking them. which, when you think about it, is not really liking them at all
so no go
poor man's telefon tel aviv? i don't hear it! if i did i'd be there in a second, rich or not
Anyone know what time they're on tonight? I'm in no rush to get there...
shunt - sorry.. when i said poor, i probably meant "completely and utterly destitute, confused, mostly deaf and whose only worldy possessions include some sort of bullshit guitar synth and an overblown reputation". :)
but that sounds bitchy. and i'm not!
anyone know if they are staying at the savoy ? i reckon i just saw them.
you're going, PunchDrunk?
Who with?
were they pretty? they look pretty
not as pretty as you shunty. i am not even sure it was them.
yeah? nah?
*WHICH ONES IS E*VAX* kekekekeke
saw them last night. LOVED them. such music for geeks, but really awesome. i normally do not get into music without lyrics, but i was captivated the whole time.
well wicked!
thought it was pretty good... although after wildcat, it got a bit samey, even though i knew all the songs...
wildcat went off, though. :D
last night was great, i thought i was gonna get bored halfway but they made the best out of their limited material
Anyone know the playing times for tonight?
