Le Maître souhaite t il gagner la confiance de ses disciples?

c'est pas gagné...

Dave Pajo continue de lancer des petits cailloux dans la mare, sur l'éventuelle possible et probable reformation de SLINT.

En gros, il dément la venue du groupe au truc "Nightmare Before Christmas", mais n'exclut pas un nouvel album du groupe et/ou un retour sur scène.....



<<The short version of this story, our fellow Slint-worshippers, is that the band isn't reforming. Officially. Yet. Or something like that. Despite several months of joyful, optimistic rumor-mongering, the deified Louisville sluggers-- responsible for Spiderland, Pitchfork's 12th best record of the 1990s-- are not slated to appear at the UK All Tomorrow's Parties hoedown in December.

This will certainly devastate the folks at former Slint bassist Dave Pajo's Papa-M.com forum, wherein the rumor first built up steam, arousing much euphoria and preemptive groveling ("I WILL SLEEP WITH ANY PERSON ON THIS BOARD IF THEY WILL PAY FOR MY AIRFARE TO THIS CONCERT. I CAN HANDLE THE TICKET, AND THE SEX"). Apparently, early ATP online press for the December "Nightmare Before Christmas" show-- picked up on by webzine Drowned in Sound and subsequently retracted-- appeared to tout Slint's appearance, but all remnants of that discourse have since disappeared.

However, the hunt doesn't end there, or why the hell would we be bothering you with this report? Pajo (currently of Papa M, formerly of Zwan) also maintains a blog at PinkHollers.com, and his September 16th entry sent hearts aflutter once more with its surprisingly direct allusions to a Slint reunion: "September life's orbit quickens around the nucleus of love. early man oscillates the host vehicle relentless by day, and papa m rejuvenates by night. and somewhere slint, a band from louisville kentucky, kicks with early signs of incubation. always we need more food and sleep, and who knows where the energy reserve is stored, but we push on vital and elastic and sensitive to higher thoughts that snap us out of baboon mind."

Reached by Pitchfork via email to validate/explicate this info, Pajo gave a response somewhat revealing in its lack of denial: "For the nonce, there is nothing to report. thanks." Well, okay, then.

Considering that much of this speculation stems directly from one of Slint's former members, it feels like a safe bet that something is going to happen, but we'll be damned if we know what. An actual surprise appearance at The Nightmare Before Christmas? Probably not. A reunion tour of some kind? Maybe so-- it's certainly in fashion at the moment. A new album, perhaps Spiderland 2: The Regenesis? We can only hope. >>

SLINT REFORM TO CURATE ALL TOMORROW¹S PARTIES, 2005

All Tomorrow's Parties are very proud to announce that legendary Louisville,
KY musical pioneers Slint will surprise and delight fans by reuniting to
perform at and curate the first weekend of All Tomorrow's Parties of 2005,
on February 25th, 26th and 27th at Camber Sands Holiday Centre, East Sussex,
UK.

Core Slint members Brian McMahan, David Pajo and Britt Walford will be
selecting an eclectic line-up for the weekend and will themselves be playing
music from their albums "Tweez" and "Spiderland" as well as the posthumous
untitled ten-inch single. Soon after the 1991 release of the acclaimed
"Spiderland," Slint disbanded but their remarkable music went on to inspire
and influence an ever-widening legion of fans. Now, for the first time since
their separation, Slint returns for this very special edition of All
Tomorrow's Parties.

The response to rumours of this extraordinary performance has indicated
tickets will go fast, so DO NOT wait around. Tickets go on sale on Friday
15th October, 10am GMT. Full line-up details will be announced in the coming
months.

Complément d'information :



"Slint will curate and perform at the first All Tomorrow's Parties festival of 2005, scheduled for February 25th-27th at Camber Sands in England.

ATP's announcement cited Brian McMahan, David Pajo and Britt Walford, the three members who formed the core of the group for their two landmark albums, as the lineup for the reunited band. (Even though the group usually travelled as a foursome.) Slint are currently the only band named on the festival's website as performers. However, now that the cat's out of the bag, we expect the other acts to start rolling on in. "

Une traduction pour les nullos? merci

Ca dit que la reformation de SLINT est confirmé, puisque le groupe est d'ores & déjà programmé pour les All Tomorrow's Parties (festival anglais) en Février 2005.

Le second paragraphe explique que c'est le site des ATP qui l'a annoncé officiellement, que SLINT apparaîtra avec ses 3 membres fondateurs (Pajo, McMahan et Walford), et que c'est pour le moment le TOUT PREMIER et seul groupe annoncé pour le Festival.

whaoooooh !

Un peu + de News ....


Slint is touring the States.

Slint is playing only three cities in the States so far.

Yes, only couple of months after the Louisville deities resurfaced to announce their curatorship of the February 2005 <<All Tomorrow's Parties>> hoedown in Camper Sands, England, Slint is announcing plans to spread that love back to the continent that spawned them.

The newly reunited post-rock legends are now promising 15 dates total in March , spread out over England, Europe and yes, the United States.

After ATP quickly sold out -- despite the fact that, other than Slint, the festival has yet to announce its lineup-- the band quietly added a solo gig March 1st at London's Kentish Town Forum. Then that sold out too.
So now Slint's added another one-- and gee, the guys haven't been to San Francisco in a while, so....

Dates/details are still sketchy as the Slint Reunion Machine grinds into gear, but four initial U.S. dates are official:

03-11 San Francisco, CA - Great American Music Hall
03-12 Seattle, WA - The Showbox
03-25 Chicago, IL - Metro
03-26 Chicago, IL - Park West

As previously reported, the initial ATP announcement listed only Brian McMahan, David Pajo and Britt Walford as the "core Slint members" behind this new incarnation, though the band is better known as a quartet. No word yet on whether the full tour will swell the band's ranks.


En résumé, SLINT prévoit 15 dates de concerts en Mars 2005.
Vraisemblablement, ce sera surtout aux USA et en Europe ... Reste à savoir s'ils se contenteront de Londres

Sinon, les 2 dates pour le <<All Tmorrow Parties>> et le concert londonnien déjà annoncées, sont déjà sold out !!

Ca calme

On veut un nouvel album, on veut un nouvel album






























X_Silence aime Slint et veut un nouvel album de Slint......quand on y réfléchit...les Pixies travaillent avec Tom Waits, Slint retourne (et va sortir un album à 2036 exemplaires, rien que pour les membres d'Xsilence, j'en suis sur)...Kevin, à ton tour maintenant !

Moi j'voudrais un nouvel album de Buckley rien que pour les membres de X_Silence, aussi ....

Lolive, fais attention, tu vas finir par te retrouver épingler d' un X à ce rythme là !
