  • erm.

    Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police And Loses His Slut Girlfriend

    what a song title.

  • day before my birthday in Edinburgh -

    YAY!

  • september?

    SEPTEMBER????

    that's bloody MILES away! :(

  • i do like a new mogwai album

  • CASTLE OF DOOM

  • sweet

    a new album excites me

  • Any word on...

    ...when I can purchase me a ticket?

    • says midday today

      but WE NEED THE PRESALE LINK

      • Guessing that

        the press release above was copied from the Mogwai website. Try getting the presale link there.

        • "from the online store"

        • cheers

          good work

          • you're welcome, squire

            I missed out on the QEH gig so I'm fucked if I'm missing out this time around.

            • similar

              except I had a ticket but decided not to buy it, as i dinnae like album preview shows generally. I'll have the album by the time this rolls around though...

              • They mostly played old songs

                at QEH. The 3 or 4 new songs played were amazing though. And Aidan Moffat too. Why not go?

                • cos I've been a to a few album prview shows that have sucked

                  it probably would have been great an all, but I don't like not knowing any of the songs played, which i thought might happen. Plus it was seated, which again I don't like so much.

    • midday today

      by what the mailout says.

      good-o

  • that title has made me lol heartily

    and the prospect of mogwai + roky erickson has given me a gigantic boner. can't wait for this.

    • Those three dates

      had better turn into more like ten, with some south west action thrown in....

  • Is a cost known yet? Last time was 20 bucks :(

  • september!!!

    better late than never i guess. bring it on!

    • Contender for song title of the year?

      I have to say i'm dissapointed they'll be playing the souless barn that is the edinburgh corn exchange.

      • it's definitely up there, aye

        and I’m told one of the songs on the new album is called “I Don’t Love You Any More And I’m Going To Burn Down Your School”.

  • Can't see anything on their website?

    Was this just in the mailout only then?

    Song title is indeed ace.

  • I'm on the mailing list, but I didn't get this email

    can you pm me the presale link?

  • I can't get onto the presale

    Anyone else see the shows?

    • not yet

      does say 'around noon' in fairness

    • This link...

      http://drownedinsound.com/articles/3389830

      has nothing on it right now. And this one...
      http://www.mogwai.co.uk/option,com_gigcal/Itemid,3/
      isn't showing any Buy Tix links yet.

      I wish they'd hurry up. I'm holding in a mother of a piss for fear of it selling out while I releave myself.

      • Nut sacks. THIS link...

      • how're you holding out?

        I reckon one of the Mogwai boys has noticed this and they're gonna hold out till 3pm just to spite you

        • I'm fully relieved

          I learn all my life lessons from Jim Carey films. In Liar Liar he says holding it in for too long is bad for you nuts. Advice heeded.

          • didn't seem to work

            can someone light a cigarette?

            • Anyone having any luck?

              Last time I refreshed the http://www.resonancestore.com/mogwai/index.html?c=viewtickets page it listed a gig at the Glasgow note cafe; pressed refresh again and it disappeared. Very odd.

              • I saw that as well

                hope they get their arses in gear, feels like I've done nothing but click refresh for the last hour

                • the london date has appeared

                  but apparently ticks aren't currently on sale :(

              • seriously!

                if there's some sort of plan of a 13th Note gig that would be hilarious and insane.

                Just currently not on sale still.
                I won't be able to buy tickets for Edinburgh for a couple of weeks though. boo.
                Batcat was good when they played it at Triptych but seeing they introduced it as their new single, I expected it a bit sooner than September!

  • ticket purchased!

    finally :)

  • Ticket link should be working now

    I just bought one for the London show.

  • it won't accept my credit card verification

    what the fucking fuck

  • They got announced as support for the Flaming Lips this week

    I was more than pleased.

  • I just got a ticket

    so tickets are on sale for London

  • done.

    This band take too much of my money. I'm probably going to have to sell my MBV ticket :(

    • don't be silly

      • ^this

        the BOB offers interest free loans for such emergencies :)

  • Hooray

    I have a couple of tickets

  • BOOKED

    :D

    • Sorted

      Eagle eyed work team, cheers. See you in London.

  • consider me well excited
