    • IS NOW GO!!

      They've shifted the dates from August to October 22-24, but still at the Custard Factory, Birmingham.

      Single band Announcement thus far:
      SWANS - Reunion

      £70 as last year. Tickets on sale now.

      Am I going? You bet your sweet mother!
    •  PodgePodge
    • I suspect this years bill will mainly consist of art wank toss and uber trend bands
    •  Big SiBig Si
    • Now come on Podge, you normally wait for the line up to be announced before you write it off.

      Here's hoping.

      Four years in a row I've asked for Frank Sidebottom to be the compere - this year they better give in!

    • SWANS!!! I may attend depending on price and what I'm up to round then... but SWANS is a definate yes from me.
    •  PodgePodge
    • Frank is big on the student scene so probably not cool enough

    • I have discovered that Swans are very scary.
    •  PodgePodge
    • Geese are worse
    •  pull-my-plonkerpull-my-plonker
    • All we need now is for them to announce

      Gulls
      and Storks
      and I'll be shitting myself...

      only trendies use words like 'uber' :-)

    • Already told him but if the following bands are 'arty' then Podge is too:

      Taint
      Earthless
      Army Of Flying Robots
      Corrupted

      who all played last year.

      Quite annoyed it isn't in the summer, but hey, I'm definitly going, anyone else?

    • Yeah I reckon, missed it past few years but it is an awesome festival!

    • Last year's SS Fest was probably the best festival I've been to. Awesome people there who actually give a shit about who they have paid to see, great bands (inc. the above!) and brilliant organisation. Yeah shame it isn't in the summer, although in 09 it pissed it down for half of it.

      Angel Witch will be awesome!

      Ghost sound pretty bonkers. I wasn't sure whether to rock out, or giggle at the lyrics! Or both!

      Rock and be scared!!

      Love their statement... it's Mercyful Fate style satanic old black metal with a little classic metal/doom... killer.

      "Ghost is the name of a devil worshipping ministry that - in order to spread their unholy gospels, and furthermore, to trick mankind into believing that the end is ultimately a good thing - have decided to use the ever so popular rock music medium as a way to exploit their means. With sexually pulsating rock music and romantic lyrics that for the most part speaks about the Antichrist coming to life and other sacriligious themes, the groups' intention is simply to spread hell the most effective way - through entertainment. The groups' wish is that especially the innocent and easy manipulated children take a liking to their music. And they will..."

      I'm pretty sure Ladbrokes would take that bet.
