Real Gold Shows

Well, turns out we were wrong about the second batch of Golden Plains bands, unfortunately. No Calexico, no Dears, nothing remotely similar in fact. Here's the deal:

The Presets
Mad Professor (Jamaica)
George Rrurrambu and Birdwave (NT)
Sebastian and Kavinski (France)
Darren Hanlon
Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow (US)
Muscles
Riot in Belgium
Jamaica Irie feat. RuCL and Jigzie Campbell (Jamaica)
Muph and Plutonic
Sunwrae Ensemble
Dexter

Some good stuff there, to add to The Bellrays, Fat Freddy's Drop, Yo La Tengo, !!!, Gotye, The Avalanches, Comets on Fire, The Slits, The Drones, Ground Components, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Mountains in the Sky... But nothing in this lineup really seals it for me. Still, it's not so much about the music up there, is it? As long as it's not so hot, it'll be good.

Other news.

Wilco are touring! Tickets tomorrow morning at Ticketmaster. They were awesome at the Palace a few years ago, let's just hope they can do a similar great show in a seated venue.

Pitchfork announce Australian Deerhoof dates (though we knew they were playing the Great Escape). The Corner down here, 7th April. They did a great show at the NSC last year, so looking forward to them returning as well.
