Once again, do click to the Chinchilla website for loads more information and links to all bands performing. You'll be wanting THIS link. Here's a story: I picked up a Tigers! 7" in Notting Hill once, and the sticker said it was like '90s Chicago post-rock. Clearly the people in the shop had never listened to it. The silly shits.
Can't wait.
Gosh
I should probably go, but I'm busy now, and this is the first I've heard of it.
Although, to be honest, I've only heard one of those bands! I thought I was cooler....
get unbusy
unbusy yourself, it'll be well worth it!
wut?
no stinkerton?
they probably mistook it
for a we followed tigers vinyl, they were a pretty sweet chicago post rock outfit
or...
they might have got totally confused, and accidentally put a sticker from THE DRAGON RAPIDE 12" we released (who are kinda chicago post rock esque) on the TIGERS! 7" instead.
line up alteration
oh, japan for sega have sadly ceased to be a functioning unit, and as such will not be playing the festival. bonsai kittens will be moving from sunday to the friday. everything else is as go!!
