Title: Magenta tour?
Post by: LivingForever on December 23, 2008, 04:21:43 PM
Hello everyone...

Any more news on dates on the Magenta/ Frost* double headline tour? I did ask Dec on Saturday night but he didn't even appear to know it was happening at all... honestly! ;-)

I would quite consider a trip to Holland if there were no UK dates - I suspect things are on hold pending new drummer, but thought I'd ask.

Can I be your carry-on if you go? If I stop eating now and start doing yoga I might be able to fold myself into the size requirements and slim down to the maximum carry-on weight. (:-P

Just come to Holland everyone. We'll make it an Easter bash to remember!  :D
And allthough Zoetermeer itself is pretty lame "The Boerderij" is a fantastic venue.

Of course you can! Although the logistics of you being my carry-on for a flight from the UK to Holland need a little bit of thought...  :?

I sense a Frost*ie tour of Holland coming on!

Hmmmm sounds like it might be fun, not sure if I'm gonna manage the CRS gig so maybe we could do this instead, I'll have to look into it a bit more...

Well if there were enough of us we could hire a big prog bus...  :)

I'm liking this idea.

I've been to a few gigs in the Netherlands but not for a few years so maybe this is a good excuse for a tour next year

Absolutely. Hang on, why don't we ask Jem where he got his bus for the Spock's tour... Better yet, why don't we ask if we can come in their bus for the tour!  :)

It'd only be a little detour to pick you up from Jönköping* on the way. And I'm sure you'd provide board and lodging for all the Frost*ies for a night....

Keep it coming people! I love the idea of a Frost* Easter bash/convention/riot In Holland.  :mrgreen:
I could try to get a nice group discount at a hotel.

Post by: AnsOnkruid on December 26, 2008, 12:46:31 PM
What a stunning idea! :D Don't forget the biscuits, I have never tasted the goodness of the British biscuits... Biscuit swap!
But if it's an Easter bash, who's going to dress up like the easter bunny :? :roll:

Post by: The Cosmic Lawnmower on December 26, 2008, 03:38:35 PM
This is all sounding rather good, so does anyone know how far the second gig at Kerkrade
is from the Boerderij, Zoetermeer?

(I know I could look it up but I've eaten too many biscuits and I'm being a lazy arse!).
Title: Re: Magenta tour?
Post by: AnsOnkruid on December 26, 2008, 07:40:50 PM
I think about 200 km. I'm not going to do that I think, and Pure Reason Revolution, Quidam and After... are playing that day at the Boerderij... Train tickets are too expensive :?

Go back to the start of the year.............,
Invest a load of money in that money earner the FTSE.........
Get back in the TARDIS...........
Return to today..........
Draw..........Bollocks


Or go back 2 years.....Nope :(

This needs a rethink.

So anyway a quick nip across to the Boerderij, in Zoetermeer seems quite doable one way or another, anybody got any thoughts on the best way to get from there to The Rock Temple at Kerkrade for the following night??

Internal flight / train / hitching!

Or is there likely to be some kinda Frost*ie coach party?!!

Internal flight?!  :shock:

My guess is a train ride. But it takes a bloody 3 and a half hour to get from Zoetermeer to Kerkrade.  :?
It's a 2 and a half hour ride by car.

hmmmm......

I wasn't planning on going to the 2nd gig but if more Frosties join in I might reconsider and set up a coach party.  :mrgreen:

Omgwtfbbq. And train is not cheap;  42 euros  :shock:
If everyone is really going to Kerkrade... I would like to do that too...

Still thinking about it. Hm.

I'm beginning to warm up to this idea. What's the roll-call from the UK looking like ?

That's not good.  Ans, as my Dutch isn't quite up to scratch, would you (or Ron) translate what it says on the website for us ignorant people please?
Title: Re: Magenta tour?
Post by: AnsOnkruid on January 22, 2009, 09:26:13 PM
Well... it only says that Frost* has been cancelled and that RPWL is going to replace them :?. I've read somewhere else that it was because of their new drummer, they haven't enough time to rehearse etc.
That's all it says. Grmbl.
Title: Re: Magenta tour?

Hmmm,

Cosmic Lawnmower; how are your drumming skills?! I mean, you've proven to be able to jump in unrehearsed!  :D
Title: Re: Magenta tour?
Post by: johninblack on January 23, 2009, 02:01:19 AM
That then implies the other Dutch date is off and the new drummers first gig will be RoSFest.
Perhaps a warm up at The Peel?

A lot depends on what "als vervanger van Frost*" means but certainly clicking on the two diary dates that say "Magenta and Frost*" takes you to text that says "Magenta and RWPL". Certainly doesn't look like Frost* are now playing but I'm no expert....
