Back on the Train
Ok, things went by the wayside over the summer here, but we’re back and just in time for Festival 8. Is anyone actually calling it that? I’ve been reffering to it as Indio, it just flows better, don’t you think?
So rumor has it ticket sales haven’t been great, hence the two marketing moves of announcing the acoustic set and the “play the last album left alive” gig on their website. Some of the more traditional fans may be a bit irked by this somewhat “comercial” move, but I think this it’s a fair balance between marketing and creating some fun hype around the event.
I’m really looking forward to the acoustic set, how refreshing that after 13 years and 50 shows I can still go and see something completely new. And I think its great that we’ll have some idea of what album it will be, just think of all the pre-show speculation and anticipation. My palms are getty sweaty just thinking about it! See you there!
