Boards of Canada, Interpol, Mogwai & Mission of Burma NOT playing Matador 21 +++ Guided by Voices T5 tix on sale
Las Vegas Weekly: As far as additions to the lineup …
Matador’s Gerard Cosloy: We will be announcing, I would say at a minimum, three more bands. I would say they are not necessarily going to be the biggest bands in label history. They’re gonna be bands tied more to the label’s old days. Actually, in one case, someone very, very new as well. They’re not gonna be headliners, let’s put it that way
So no Boards of Canada, I assume?
That’s correct, yes.
A lot of people are asking about Mogwai.
No, they have other stuff they’re doing overseas at that time, which is unfortunate. We would have loved to have had them be part of this.
And Interpol has dates in Europe.
Yeah, that’s correct.
Mission of Burma is also a no-go, correct?
Yeah, we did ask Burma and Roger [Miller] unfortunately has Alloy Orchestra commitments that weekend.
Rolling Stone reported Liz Phair as confirmed …
Yeah, that I will neither confirm nor deny (laughs).
How tough was it getting Guided By Voices to reunite, especially with that lineup?
We just kept asking. We just kept asking. And I think ultimately Bob decided it would be fun.
Tickets go on sale at noon for the Guided By Voices show happening at Terminal 5 (with Blitzen Trapper).
Doug Gillard plays Bruar Falls tonight.
