Magma to play Washington DC,USA (unconfirmed)

By the way, here's the full schedule for the festival. Somehow I find it funny that Merzbow is playing at the French Embassy. I'll probably go, he's playing with an acoustic guitarist so that's cool. I'll just bring earplugs! The Univers Zero/Miriodor show might be cool, except that I've never heard an album from either of them. And a bunch of people I've never heard of are playing at Fairfax, which is only 20 minutes away from me.

I saw a message from Steve F from Wayside on the avant-progressive Yahoo list that might be of interest to you...

Finally, we got the Sonic Circuits lineup for this year, I've been waiting for months! I missed Evan Parker and Ned Rothenberg last year, and although I saw him a couple months ago, it wasn't as good because the other players were mediocre. If they were in a studio for a few days, they probably could have recorded a good album, but there's a wonderful synergy you get with long time improvising associates that is impossible with people who met 20 minutes ago. But maybe they're still working out the kinks with some big names, since right now the majority of those bands are local, and I can't imagine they will only have Magma, Univers Zero, Merzbow, and Fennesz as the relatively big names.

Bad news, "Seventh has removed this gig from their website".

I'm not going to go just to spite you all. :P

Still 3000 miles away from me so no I don't think so.  You guys in Paris are probably closer than I am. 

I was hoping you might be referring to the Triton concert in late June, as I thought you might not be aware that they play a concert on June 12 somewhere in the Parisian area. In this case you'll be missing both of them. 

I am probably not going to attend any concerts for the rest of this year because of financial difficulties. But looking at the bright side, I have already seen Magma three times during last April

You're in Paris? Me too.  When are you leaving?

That's a few weeks into fall semester for me, I don't mind missing the following day to go see Magma.

Same for me, just hope I have no tests or at least some cool professors who will let me slide a day or two...
