Possibly I will finally make it to an LPX gig though I’ve being promising that for about 3 years 🙂
No joyriders on tractors this year, then?

whoop!
sweet nouveaunoise and infomatics!!
That line-up is just solid gold. Magic. Finally a chance to see all these Irish acts whose Myspace sites I’ve been lurking round. Mantua was deadly last year too – Check out this write up from some obscure pretend music-hack:

The festival is somewhat expensive for US.
Good going for those who make it.
admittedly i’m surprised about the price, it’s a bit higher than i thought it’d be – any word on headliners, etc?
good thing ros, but as far as i know i’m on really early, so i gather no one will be awake – does anyone know where this place is?
