Massive Attack + Portishead @ Bristol Acadedemy
Permalink  

from nme.com: http://www.nme.com/news/111076.htm
"MASSIVE ATTACK and PORTISHEAD are teaming up for a charity gig in BRISTOL.

The two bands will appear live at the Bristol Academy (February 19) at a fund raising concert in aid of the Tsunami crisis.
Organisers say that the concert will be a "unique performance", and will feature collaborations on the night. This is also the first time the two bands have shared a stage, and a very rare performance from Portishead, who haven’t released a studio album since 1997.
More very special guests are to be announced shortly.
All proceeds from will go to Oxfam, who are organising water and sanitation relief in the crisis area. Ticket details will be announced next week, although NME.COM understands discussions are underway to webcast the gig. A website has been set up at crisisinasia.com."


From the Portishead homepage, http://www.portishead.co.uk/index2.html
We are playing live for the first time in 7 years as part of a fund raising concert for the Tsunami Crisis in Asia at the Bristol Academy on February 19th – we'll also be sharing a stage with Massive Attack for the first time. And more artists will be added to the bill very soon.
We'll each play a short set, around 20 minutes and we'll be performing songs you know – very
nearly unplugged. As so many of you are based outside of the UK the whole event can be viewed as a live web-cast and we'll be posting more details of this here so keep checking the site.


Time to get friendly with a webcast taper methinks

Ah Moussa, posting topics is one thing, (txjaxx originally posted it on the massive forum). If only I had the funds to attend, that would be something else.


Next monday, the bank wil own 30 % of mine and Livy's (girlfriend) mutual income, as from then on, we'll be owning our very own home.Nice to have, but alas, 7 fat years have flown by, 7 skinny years are awaiting us. Massive attack funds will be cut to the strikt minimum for the first few years, but rest assured, I won't miss out on the next Paris gig, even if it costs me an arm and a leg

I Know mate, I know. I hate cutting the count in half


At least we've had two conventions worth cherishing

If it aint blaggable off the obvious person then it's definitely a no-no, but like I was saying if it's just a few mins of MA and [P] and just same old stuff and 'acoustic' [one wonders how Portishead unplugged works]... what epiphinal experience am I gonna be missing anyway? Don't wish to sound curmudgeonly... I mean I guess I can catch the blue aeroplanes on the webcast...

I think it all sounds very interesting - Our heroes will be doing something different and there's special secret guests (I'm still recovering from Mr DEF at Brixton last yeat :o)


Surely it can;t be that hard to imagine [P] can't it?

To say I'm gutted I aint gonna be going is an understatement - at least there's a webcast....

Allow me to rephrase. How will Geoff power his decks without electricity? Does Ade get on a bike and generate power through a dynamo?

Great that it aint the same old MA set. Is the MA bit longer than 20 mins? I've not asked about it...

Since you are [or were] uncynically keen to go, how come you didnt get a ticket... don't you like prolonged telephone queueing systems or something? :)) Or were you mistakenly holding out for a blag..?

You're just being sycophantic now! I woudl imagine it'll be that guitarist on an acoustic and Beth holloring out.

I had no joy on the internet or the telephone - just couldn't get through.


I work in Filton - so had to wait till dinner time to get the train into town, walk to the ticket shop and be told it's sold out.


It really is a sad sad story isn;t it

Profoundly tragic. Feeling your pain.

There ought to be guestlists for these charity events. Oxfam could just bring the tinshakers to the aftershow entrance! It is an affront to the privileged.

Well... lets hope they dont **** up the webcast or film it from some insane angle or something...
