Title: Placebo Opener
Post by: Jaguär on June 21, 2003, 04:53:00 pm
The opener listed for Placebo is Ambulance. Is this by any chance a mistake and supposed to be Son Ambulance? Just wondering because I've never heard of Ambulance but do know of the Indie band Son Ambulance.

I thought it was weird too, so I called the agent to clarify. I was told the opening act is Ambulance, not Ambulance LTD, which had appeared on Pollstar or some other site that I saw. We have to go by what the agent tells us, but I'm still not sure about this one.

Give me a bio somebody... of Placebo... my usual source - Pitchfork... puts them a small notch above Metallica...and I usually look well beyond one opinion.

not their best, is that a polite way of saying utter shite?

yep, it is utter shite..... time has rendered placebo stale and complacent.
 
 English summer rain always last for ages.......
 
 At least when Travis are trite they have nice melodies.....

so are you going then?

Post by: markie on June 24, 2003, 05:08:00 pm
I havent decided yet. Quite possibly no. I am hoping it will sell out and the decision will be taken from my hands.
 
 I only like the first two albums and I doubt they will play anything off them, not even nancy boy, their one great song. So what is the point?

 Thanks I'll take two.
 
 You would have been better off going to cinerama tonight, or the tyde in July.
 
 I would rather go to human league than placebo.

Well I dont have any OMD.... I have some singles back in Britain, but I never felt the need to buy one of their albums. That would have been a bit too gay.
 
 dont you think the human league could be funny? They did right some cracking tunes.
