--> ...but nobody promotes the show, does he (and some of his raster noton labelmates) make a sound?

I just read on Basic's site that this took place. Thanks to the Drake geniuses for the excellent promotion. Bravo. :-(

On another note, I'll be in Athens (Greece) visiting family in a few weeks; where can a faintly creepy middle-aged guy like me go for some EM?

the venue where stfu athens was at has loads of EM, it's called BIOS and it's errrhh, somewhere where you can see the acropolis. haha

i'm in athens, bios is a good place for EM sometimes but usually there's just theatre. here's the website: link

yeah, I didn't hear anything about this either.
I wonder who went.

Seeing him tonight in Cambridge! I expect many intensely serious facial expressions.

btw lol at "does he make a sound". Maybe the Toronto show was post-minimal ;)

What??? I would trade a limb to see Alva Noto live. If he came to Seattle and no one showed up, I'd lose faith in humanity.

insanely jealous. :P

Sorry to break it to you, but the show I just attended was fucking incredible. I don't think I've ever danced (ok... wiggled) some much anywhere (I completly lost my composure) to a Raster Noton showcase to boot. Way better than last time they came around (possibly due to the fact that I drank a lot more). I never knew Alva Noto could rock a party show hard...

I would totally bust out the pitchforks and torches on those Toronto promoter dudes.

^ supposed to be "so hard"
yeah goddam promoters... what are they thinking.

Since the feedback monitor show listings went away I've been missing everything. Promoters in Toronto suck balls.

Thanks for the report, Logo. I thought as much... I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Delete & daswesen, thanks for the info on BIOS. Will check it out if I am in Athens for more than one day. I think the cousins are taking me straight to the island. Maybe it has an em scene there? Lots of expats live there now, so who knows?

i think none of the islands has an EM scene, at least not in this time of year. there might be EM parties in Crete every now and then but i don't think there's anything regular. which island are you going to?

he played at Elektra here in Montreal (an art festival) -- the people i know who went said it was bangin', but everybody just stood and bobbed their head, if that.

delete, I'm going to Ithaki. The aussie woman who runs ithacagreece.com records indie stuff under the name "Lola Demo" link

The closer I get to my departure date, the more I realize that all I need is a nice vacation from the internet. :-)
Thanks delete et al for your help. Have a great summer!

our resident clickmeister yghartsyrt (nq) is much too humble himself, but he's actually playing at a festival the same as Alva Noto next week. so if you're in modena, italy you should check him out.. June 6, Galeria Civica (I'm playing on the other night of the festival)
