Time for an advert: I'm playing live at the Louisiana, Bristol, UK, on Wednesday 5 September. E-mail me if you want to come, I'll send you a flyer for cheap entry.
On a slightly more altruistic note, how many of this site's music makers (& dreamers of dreams) play live? Any good tips / strategies? Perhaps we could get together for a big gig at some point.

Problem is, post-rock has nomenclatured itself into a corner. It's like modern art - you know, there was art nouveau, then modernism, then futurism, then post-modernism. I want to see some post-futurist art, just for the ultimate contradiction in terms. Anyway, post-rock needs a new name if it is to survive and evolve, which I am sure will happen. I also want to play some, to get back to my bass & guitar roots in a progressive way.
I'll fly you out, but there's an extra £1000 surcharge for anyone coming from outside the UK.

I will shortly be playing live. My plan is to have all of my tracks as MP3s on a pc with Winamp and play keyboards/guitar along to the tracks, either playing the actual melodies or just improvising over the top. A good idea is to play an ambient thing at the start for about 3-4 minutes, then break into some really hardcore tunes. That's what I'm probably going to do. Also, do covers/remixes. Lastnight I went to this noise/industrial/gabba show thingy, and one of the artists there played the music from Bubble Bobble with a really distorted gabba beat. It went off and everyone was dancing... fucking awesome..

well it seems today that anything that's instrumental in a rock band format is considered "post-rock" i.e. mogwai, godspeed you black emperor, fly pan am... etc. it's a very broad genre. hell, godspeed and mogwai are quite different. i don't see it as a dying trend/movement/whatever like the no wave scene or anything.
