From their MySpace. I'll probably be going to their concert in Combs la Ville, it's very close to me (and to Paris too). |

Well, I've seen them already two times in 2009, so this won't be me being lucky, just consistent.

That's the definitive 2010 list? No activity after June? That April 7th winks at me. June is irremediably ruined by exams. Probably. -------------

I think funding is the problem, rather than ego... Really now, I suppose there won't be any Magma concert outside France/Belgium/Luxembourg in the future more often than once a year, maybe twice. |

They really need to get their butts back to California! They haven't played here since the 80's I think.

I thought it rang a bell. It's like 70 kilometres from where I live! Thanks for teaching me about Belgian geography :-) |

Maybe they should come to State College here in PA...that'd be like the halfway point between people like me in the Pittsburgh area and people on the Philly side of the state. Of course, if it was during the school year, I'd be there anyway.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

Oooh... smack bang in the middle of term... but I missed them last year and have been cursing myself ever since. Plus I have been waiting for the opportunity to get my boyfriend into some good music... And it is Magma. Hmm, perhaps this is a long shot, but if anyone's going to journey to Soignies, would they be up for a petrol-splitin' carshare away afterwards, either Brussels way or towards Valenciennes?The trains don't run late enough!  |

^ Where do you live? If you live in Northern France, there's also Compiegne: http://maps.google.fr/maps?q=compiegne&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl - http://maps.google.fr/maps?q=compiegne&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl |

I'm so sorry I didn't get to see them at Gouveia, I hope they return this year. ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

My boyfriend lives in Valenciennes, I would come over from the UK... You're right, Compiegne is doable but Soignies is quite easy to get to, and I love Belgium... Also I'm an impatient fool and want to see them in February! |

| I think I could wait for the festival Tritonales in June. Closer to Paris, easier to find, at least for a lazybone person like me. |

Wow, there's going to be another Tritonale! I'm happy! Do you know any of the other bands? Hadouk Trio, We Insist! and Seven? |

^The Hadouk Trio (Didier Malherbe/Loy Ehrlich/ Steve Shehan) is worth checking out http://www.myspace.com/hadouktrio - http://www.myspace.com/hadouktrio ------------- Tadpoles keep screaming in my ear "Hey there! Rotter's Club! Explain the meaning of this song and share it" |

So last night I had my third Magma concert in just one year... One word for today: incredible. Best. Ever. I'll get back to you with a review probably tomorrow. This would be a dream come true if I had ever dreamt of such a thing   |

I missed it while I live in Combs-la-Ville...
Anyway I saw another great live performance yesterday, Huongh Thanh with five different backing bands !
- the first with vietnamese musicians (eruh (chinese violin), chinese guitar (ruan) and chinese zither(guzheng) )
- the second with a french accordionist
- the third with a corean player of gomungo, a japanese player of shamisen and koto, a chinese player of eruh
- the fourth with a player of a combined electro-acoustic guitar (bass, guitar and sitar on the same guitar)
- the fifth for fans of jazz-rock with a guitarist, a percussionist, a drummer, a keyboardist/clarinetist/saxophonist
then all together on stage at the end of the show.
Probably the most eclectic concert I ever saw; ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

I know! I'm in the same situation as you! Do you think Christian Vander can fill a stadium here?! :p Or maybe a little venue...But get this: I'm going to France, near where they usually play with my school WHILE THEY ARE PLAYING, but my school won't let me go. =__= I'll be crying that night, I guess.
