C-86 en Inglaterra

Nos lo ha chivado Loveof74

London bash is inspired by old NME tape

The Magic Numbers are set to play C86 - Still Doing It For Fun- a two day festival celebrating the C86 covermounted tape originated by NME.
The C86 tape appeared in 1986 and, according to Saint Etienne member Bob Stanley, was "the beginning of indie music".
The original tape featured Primal Scream and The Wedding Present amongst others.
The phrase C86 subsequently became shorthand for music that featured jangly guitars and ’twee’ songs.
The festival is set to take place at London’s ICA on October 27-28.
The line up is:

October 27
The Magic Numbers
Gokart Mozart
Vic Godard & The Subway Sect
Saint Etienne (DJ set)
Jeff Barrett (Heavenly Recordings, DJ set)

October 28
Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera)
Phil Wilson (Junebrides)
The Wolfhounds
The Pastels (DJ set)

Tickets will be available from Tuesday (October 10). For availability go to nme.com/GIGS.

a mi no me molan ni un pelo, pero lo que parece es que los Magic Numbers se pagan esos conciertos y, como les debe parecer poco quedarse en el mecenazgo, pues van y tocan. ya se podrían haber pagao algo en Logroño y en Donosti...

mira que a mí los magic numbers me molan, pero en un evento c86 no les veo yo mucho... ¿no tendría que haber más guitar pop ruidoso y pegadizo?
