Yeah I saw. Maybe bring the metal girl from your work? I'm not sure who I'm gonna take either, I don't know many metal/hardcore fans here (well in general actually).

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #36 on:** December 01, 2010, 10:55:41 AM »

Yeah was thinking her, and by the way she now likes Gojira and The Human Abstract

well a couple of their songs anyways. Hey it's a free night out, maybe even some London based forumer lurking this thread might fancy going.

EDIT: She just text me saying she fuckin loves Kasia so I asked her if she wanted to come. Giggity.

DOUBLE EDIT: Well that's my guest sorted then, your turn Sigz! And bodies you gotta come too man, you don't get a chance to go to many DVD shows, let alone free ones!

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #37 on:** December 13, 2010, 11:57:55 AM »

Holy shit this Sunday. I'm seriously looking forward to this. What a great way to end my gigging year. Also, been listening to Hysterics a lot recently, I think it's on a par with Cosmology. Fantasia is beyond awesome.

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #38 on:** December 13, 2010, 01:42:08 PM »

Yeah I'll be there.

Fear Factory was too pricey. Gonna be awesome. Supports are top draw too.

Sigz · « **Reply #39 on:** December 13, 2010, 01:46:05 PM »

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET

Still don't have anyone to bring, OH WELL

Are we meeting up for drinks beforehand again?

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #40 on:** December 13, 2010, 02:12:31 PM »

Yeh I need to check out the support bands, never heard anything by either of them. As for drinks, well I'm certainly gonna be drinking before the gig, I don't know Bloomsbury at all though so no idea which is a good pub, but we'll probably get there a bit early and find somewhere, I've got your number Sigz so I'll text you the name or call you or something. Bodies if you're up for a couple before the gig maybe PM one or both of us and we'll meet up!

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #41 on:** December 13, 2010, 02:23:23 PM »

Might well do. Will probably depend on my mate who's coming though.

Will be my first gig which I shall attend able to legally purchase alcohol!

I am the most disappointed man in the whole world

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #45 on:** December 19, 2010, 02:49:50 PM »

Right now I should be trying to get off with the hot chick from work whilst Eva Spence screams at me. It'd be like some beautiful fantasy.

Sigz · « **Reply #46 on:** December 20, 2010, 01:47:22 AM »

Totally gutted about that, I ended up just getting plastered and watching Harry Potter last night. Twas not a good substitute

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #47 on:** December 20, 2010, 06:07:58 AM »

I was alright with it...I was gonna go and see Swallow The Sun w/ Solstafir instead but then the trains weren't running so it sucked big time

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #48 on:** January 14, 2011, 05:00:38 PM »

New song up on their Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/rolotomassiofficial?v=wall

'Mount Celestia,' it's cool, somewhat restrained compared to their other stuff, definately more focus on cohesiveness, but in a good way. It's 'prog' rather than 'math' IMO. Sounds like she's been working on her screams too. Dates posted in Ireland for February too, so maybe that's when we can expect the re-scheduled gig.

EDIt: So actually Mount Celestia is from a 12" they released last year, and looking around they've got an absolute myriad of b-sides and little-known tracks from split EPs etc, and the ones i've heard so far have all been fantastic. Absolutely in love with Celestia now, I'm going to own everything they've ever recorded.

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #49 on:** February 09, 2011, 04:40:19 AM »

New album April and UK tour in May, priority for Garage tickets goes to those on the mailing list for the free show. New album April. NEW ALBUM APRIL.

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #50 on:** February 10, 2011, 11:27:23 AM »

Hmmm, shall I go and see them at the Garage or not? Not sure my mate will want to come if it's not free

Sigz · « **Reply #51 on:** February 10, 2011, 11:41:07 AM »

COME ANYWAYS YOU CAN JOIN BEN AND ME IN GETTING DRUNK PRE-SHOW

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #52 on:** February 10, 2011, 11:50:01 AM »

I probably will go. Garage is very easy for me to get to so seems rude not to!

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #53 on:** February 10, 2011, 12:35:38 PM »

Yeah man come, we're well practiced in the art of party. I think the album release in April is a compilation of b-sides and rare tracks or something like that rather than a full album, but all the non-album tracks I've heard by Rolo are fantastic so should be a good listen.

Ia(i?)n isn't that around your exam time? Better hope it doesn't clash! I've already bought 2 tickets though

Sigz · « **Reply #54 on:** February 10, 2011, 05:29:14 PM »

ha just Ian, no extraneous I. And yeah, it's a little before exams, but it's on a saturday and its ROLO FUCKING TOMASSI FOR 5 QUID So I'm definitely not gonna miss that opportunity,

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #55 on:** February 11, 2011, 01:50:30 PM »

Also,

Quote from: NME

The Sheffield rockers, who are currently working on the follow-up to last year’s ‘Cosmology’, will also release a new compilation album, entitled 'Eternal Youth', through their own Destination Moon label on April 18. It features 36 tracks including demos and songs that were previously released only on cassette or through the band's own subscription service, Subs Club.

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #56 on:** February 15, 2011, 11:45:27 AM »

Ordered my ticket.

Pissed off that it's via Ticketmaster though. They better post it in good time or I'm not going to be able to get the tickets cause they do billing address only delivery and I won't be there in early May!

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #57 on:** April 12, 2011, 02:52:42 PM »

New song 'Pillfox' played on Radio 1 last night.

I interviewed James a couple of weeks back:
www.stereoboard.com/content/view/164808/9

Sadly I don't think I'll be at the London show though

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #59 on:** April 13, 2011, 02:06:48 PM »

Cool interview. How come you're not gonna make the gig? I'm looking forward to it more than any other gig this year I think

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #60 on:** April 14, 2011, 05:58:58 AM »

Lack of money basically. Had to cut a couple of gigs from my schedule and the 7th May was kinda an awkward date for me already so just ASIWYFA and Katatonia that week as it turns out.
I would ask James to try and get me guestlist but it's always very tight for London shows.

Sure I will see them numerous more times in the future though so not too disenheartened.

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #61 on:** April 30, 2011, 08:28:56 AM »

1 week

They're going to be selling some of these at the London gigs, I must own one.

Can't wait!

Sigz · « **Reply #63 on:** May 06, 2011, 05:49:39 AM »

Show tomorrow

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #64 on:** May 06, 2011, 02:32:40 PM »

Aww yeah. I should warn you that me and work chick (her name's Hollie btw, you'll like her) are going to be drinking vodka in the park from about 4 so by the time we meet you we'll likely be quite drunk. But I'm sure you'll be able to catch up

It's Sunday the next day anyway, no need to do revision on Sunday pfff

Eva tweeted a photo from the end of the show:

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #68 on:** May 08, 2011, 05:07:34 AM »

Awesome, pretty sure I can see you in that pic. Eva seems like she really enjoyed it. I touched her hand when she handed me my ticket back

Also, could you send me that link

Sigz · « **Reply #69 on:** May 08, 2011, 05:12:22 AM »

Yeah I see myself, don't see you guys though. And yeah, Eva said on twitter that it was the best show she's ever played
