Yep, it's looking good, can't wait to see one of the rare devo live
performances.
Other Australian cities may also be able to catch up with the Ninja
troupe (Ollie Teeba, DJ Vadim and Amon Tobin) as part of the stealth
tour. From their web page (
http://www.obsolete.com/pipe/ninja/tune.html):
Thurs 25 Sept Australia, Brisbane TBC
Fri 26 Sept Australia, Melbourne
Sat 27 Sept Australia, Sydney TBC
Sun 28 Sept Australia, Adelaide TBC
Sat 4 Oct Australia, Perth TBC
Here's hoping the TBCs become confirmations.
On a related note, and at the risk of being flamed to death by some of
the less tolerant list members, I am going to BEYOND THE BRAIN this
weekend in Byron Bay. These are excellent parties which try to break
down some of the ridiculous barriers imposed by our scene: 2000 people
will be able to here Trip Hop, Experimental, Goa, House, Dub, World
Music, Ambient, and probably many more styles at the one party! And
there will be installations and performance art! And it is across the
road from an excellent surf beach! I've attached the blurb below.
Later,

* BEYOND THE BRAIN
Saturday, September 20th 9pm-8am
Epicentre, Byron Bay NSW, Australia
Welcome to a celebration of musical innovations, media explorations and
altered-state creations. Dreamed and designed, manufactured and manifested
by the concrescence of Eastern Australia's finest underground electronic and
performance artists, this event seeks to showcase the talent developed over
ten years of techno culture. Both a going-off dance party and interactive
art exhibition, the intention of this meta-gathering is to re-connect young
and old, all colours and lifestyles into a space of love, fun, free
expression and boundless experience. Coming at you from the cusp of the
millenium, its time, once again, to go Beyond the Brain...
