Oh you lucky Brits! As if I didn’t want to live in England more than I already do, Recoil will be presenting shows on two dates: one in April and one in May of this year. Maybe this will inspire Alan Wilder to take another jaunt around the world, hopefully returning back to Southern California? One can only hope.
I think this first one is pretty self-explanatory by the flier pictured here. Recoil will be playing the first date of the Back to the Phuture festival at Academy 1 in Manchester on Friday April 1st, 2011. The second half of the festival will be in London.
Here is the full line up for Manchester: Gary Numan, Recoil, Motor, Richard H Kirk DJ set, Mark Jones DJ set
The second show is the Short Circuit festival by Roundhouse with a weekend hosted by Mute Records, Depeche Mode’s UK record label. Recoil will perform live on Friday May 1st 2011, along with artists like Nitzer Ebb and a live DJ set by Daniel Miller. On Saturday May 2nd, Erasure will be performing and there will be a special appearance by Alison Moyet (not necessarily with Erasure, but who knows?).
Those of you lucky enough to be in the area, have fun at the shows and know that there will be a very jealous gal in San Diego, wishing she were there, too. Cheers!
