ErstQuake 2: Sept 23-25, NYC

jon abbey · Post by **jon abbey** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 12:00 pm

(NOTE: UPDATED FOR FINAL SCHEDULE)

ok, so we've got a pretty definite final schedule for ErstQuake 2, I'm just waiting on a final confirmation from the good Mr. Rowe, everyone else listed below is definitely in. the venue is still TBA, tickets will probably be $15 a night, and will go on sale at some point before the fest, you'll be able to make e-mail reservations and pay via PayPal, no ticket services.

ErstQuake 2 is a joint production of Erstwhile and Quakebasket, and this year is being paid for entirely by ErstDist (meaning Chris Wolf and myself). so any ErstDist orders you place between now and then are very much appreciated, and will help contribute to the success of the festival. thanks!

Friday, September 23:

Mark Wastell/Tim Barnes
Keith Rowe/Tomas Korber
Julien Ottavi/Dion Workman
Joe Colley/Jason Lescalleet
Keith Rowe/Toshimaru Nakamura

Saturday, September 24:

Joe Colley solo

So Chris, that fund you mentioned?

I really REALLY want to make it out for this. We'll see though.

Looks amazing Jon, really.

thanks, guys, I'm really excited about this myself. last year was a good initiation for the series, but this is a much more serious festival. thanks to Chris W. and Tim and all the musicians also!

now we just need to find a proper venue for this smorgasbord of sound...

I'm good for, like, at least $10.

For real though, I hope you make it. I'm gonna be there for surely.

i hope its not awkward and uncomfortable. i hope it doesnt hurt either.

well, i did see joe colley last year. but that doesnt count here. i'm still pure (for now).

I am so awful at NYC, and Mark won't be there to babysit me, so I am officially putting out a call for an urban sherpa. A yak would be a plus, though not necessary.

i'm still wondering if i can somehow pull this off.

not getting a job would do the trick. blaaar.

Jon.

I know loads of great venues that would do such a fantastic line up justice but they are all in the UK... would it be OK if you moved the festival over here? I'm sure the other guys wouldn't mind, it doesn't really rain that much in London in the Autumn honest, and the exchange rates are just great at the moment...

Seriously though, a great line up, mouth watering stuff and enough to make me seriously think about making the trip across the Atlantic for it, I will be due a holiday around September!

hope to see you, Richard! get a shopping list from your family and friends, you can make up the costs of the trip on what you save in shopping...

Mr. Rowe informed me this AM that he's almost definitely in, 95 percent sure, he just has to wait and make sure another potential commitment doesn't materialize, which it almost definitely won't. he's very excited about this...

So you can't be tempted into coming to London then?
You can get nearly twenty people into the Bonnington Centre these days and I think they have relaxed the 'bring your own cushion to sit on ' rule!
Just kidding, I have seen some great shows there...

I will look into the possibility of making it over for this, but if not I am also thinking about the Prague Ampilfy as well. Any more news on that one?

I'm only doing AMPLIFY fests outside of NYC now if they're a) almost completely sponsored by other people and b) I can curate it almost entirely (there's a little bit of wiggle room on both of these conditions, but not much). in all seriousness, if you're interested in helping arrange one in 2006 in London given these conditions, e-mail me.

the kind people of the city of Prague took me up on both counts, which is why we're going there in June. it's just one night, within the Prague Biennale, with a related program the night before:

======================================

Erstwhile Records, in association with The National Gallery Prague present:

AMPLIFY 2005: union

Thanks Jon,

I hope to make this, and if I do i will buy you a drink as a small token of thanks for the years of pleasure most of your releases have given me...

jon abbey · Post by **jon abbey** » Mon May 02, 2005 2:42 am
