Primavera Sound - Foros

Why are they announcing so many names !? and why on different days ?

Hoy han quedado fuera unas cuantas bandas que necesitaban ser anunciadas pero por diversos contratiempos no han podido unirse a la lista de esta mañana. Por lo tanto haremos otra ronda de confirmaciones con esas bandas a lo largo del día de mañana para que no tengan que esperar hasta el mes que viene.

If you think about it, is it really many names when the whole line-up consist somewhat 150 names and now we know 19. Last year we knew way more names at this point. I guess May comes quickly and it is better to announce names in smaller batches than 100 names at one time. That way you get more attention to the festival every time.

Apparently there was few setbacks yesterday and that's why they couldn't announce all the bands yesterday. And Gabi said that those will rather be announced today than left them to next month..

Todays announcements where a set back I hope they do the same tomorow.

Yes you are right. We always expecte so much that when things do not go our way we are dissapointed. But I think that with two announcements in the 2 days we are going to have to wait for long until we get some more names.

Probably. I'm willing to wait on one condition, though. That I won't be disappointed. They're gonna have to deliver something unexpected next time.

Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping this guy will be in the next announcement. Jamie XX have worked with him, so hopefully he can be of some influence

VP: You must get tired of answering this but Emma & Miki, you’ve mentioned previously that a Lush reunion was mooted but due to the “c**ntish flakiness” of some parties things didn’t really take off . Although you all have jobs and Emma’s a new mum now, do you think you’d ever consider it again if somebody genuinely made an offer.

EMMA: Erm – that was Miki’s quote and not the whole reason we didn’t reform (she was referring to one promoter). The money and offers just weren’t there that year and we couldn’t take the risk of the outlay without making that back and then some. At the time we were thinking about it I had a very stressful full-time job and would have had to do all the rehearsing and playing in my 4-week holiday allowance which I think would have left me as a nervous wreck! If the money was right then, yes, we would do it but I think promoters would have to come to us so we would be in the driving seat. Who knows what may happen in the future but, yes, for the time being a reformation looks unlikely.

MIKI: Yes, I’m afraid that the honest answer is not unless we were offered an awful lot of money. I have enough trouble finding the time to answer these questions let alone relearn the entire Lush back catalogue, rehearse with a new drummer and actually schedule time to play the gigs. So if we did it, I would have to stop work, and if I stop work, then how do I pay the bills?

To be fair to the c*nty flake, he wasn’t the only one who pissed us about (although he was the only one who deserves to have a resilient object booted up his backside). One agent after another (well, three) promised the world and then had to admit rather shamefacedly that it wasn’t really happening. They scratched their heads, they didn’t understand, but the promoters just weren’t that keen.
