This and yesterdays announcement, is it Christmas already?!

PORTISHEAD confirm "I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR" Curated by PORTISHEAD & ATP 23rd & 24th July - Alexandra Palace, London

On the weekend of 23rd and 24th July 2011 at Alexandra Palace, London, All Tomorrow's Parties will present the first UK I'll Be Your Mirror event, which will be curated by Portishead and ATP. Acting as sister event to ATP Festivals and named after the b-side to The Velvet Underground's original All Tomorrow's Parties 7" single, I'll Be Your Mirror will be a new series of artist curated music, film and art events taking place in cities worldwide.

Portishead will headline both nights, with a different supporting line-up joining them each day. Tickets will cost £59 per day with weekend tickets priced at £100. At this point these are the only UK shows Portishead plan to play in 2011, and you can get early bird tickets at reduced prices here http://www.seetickets.com/Event/I-LL-BE ... re=ibymcby" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Bring on Fourth! And since they just keep getting better, this one will be the best album ever.

yeah it's been an exciting week!!

Still waiting for the big announcement...got a feeling it's still going to take a while, sigh...

I'm pretty sure all Portishead fans already have this but I thought I'd post a link for those interested in the band who haven't seen it yet.
This is a studio live Concert Prive w/audience, filmed in Paris May 2008 by Canal Plus. DVD, high quality sound and picture. Mostly songs off Third + a few oldies + interview. Great stuff:

It sounds just like my kind of thing! :-) If only Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave - well, he certainly makes mart feel miserable - could be there. Oh, and Morrissey.

^^My favourite miserablists and glumsters...I hate happy music.

^Nick Cave is there (with Grinderman).

Only 2 more months to go, can hardly wait...

Thanks. Bugger, I forgot Nick Cave was in Grinderman! Hope mart can get a ticket for that one! :-)
