Times! We've got them, for this December's Nightmare Before Christmas three-day fest, arranged as always by the lovely people of ATP. Check these names out, and then see when they're playing.
Did we mention DiS was DJing at the festival already? No? Well we are, so if you're one of these 'Show 2' ticket holders - meaning you're seeing Sonic Youth and The Stooges on Saturday and Sunday rather than both on Friday - you can hear us play records from nine 'til midnight on Friday. We don't know where yet, but booze will probably be available! Hooray!
Those stage times, then...
