I saw this on TOTP2 last night - eh? Wah?

yes they are, i'm seeing them twice in March (NFT and Brixton) - apparently there's a special midnight concert at Brixton on the 20th as well but i think my ticket is for the earlier show :( and no support of course. 'Aero Dynamik' is finally released as a single next month too. I like it.

looks great - from what i hear the version of 'Expo 2000' is actually the Rolando remix as well!

ooh. I only found out last night that I'm going to see them at Brixton! yay

how do you just find out something like that? haha

i found out that my friend had a spare ticket. i wasn't going to go originally, cos i was going to stay in & be a good girl etc. but.. it's Kraftwerk..

I thought you were questioning whether they were actually going to be here in person. Sure, they're doing UK dates, but will it just be 4 robots on stage? Will Kraftwerk physically be there? Maybe they are controlling it all from the depths of Kling Klang in Dusseldorf...

no they do actually turn up which is funny because they moan about this despite technology having been capable of fulfilling their dreams even EIGHT YEARS AGO when Future Sound Of London did a live gig at Brighton Essential Fest via ISDN. 'The Robots' is the only part of the show in which the band themselves do not perform on stage no?
