Natan will not be our "support band", he will (hopefully) in most case be playing AFTER us, so we can continue into the night a bit further and hopefully have a chance to hang out with you all for a while! We will still have a "support band" for those of your who need you prog noodley hit, then you'll get us - happy medium, then when that's over us kids can have our fun.
Re: 30th Anniversary Tour « Result #3 Yesterday at 8:00pm »
would love to see you again. it's been years since I last got fuzzy and all googly eyed watching the insane analog synth and guitar madness live. I stumbled upon you in the early 90's in Kansas where a tape was handed to me at a free concert at KU! I was instantly hooked at the sounds coming out of my speakers. I now live in California near San Francisco so y'all better come this way
I am in a band that plays heady music too...it's called Echodrone for any of you Shoegaze fans that like shed loads of delay and reverb
exciting...30 years is a long time and not an easy task to keep the music going and alive. Keep it up Ed and gang! You have inspired a lot of people like me to engineer and play things out of the norm.

Amazing news Brandi
Honestly, for any of you who have not heard him, he is totally amazing and pretty much the perfect support for an Ozric gig!! This tour just keeps getting better and better!!

Oops, didn't mean to refer to him as "the" Natan (stupid iPad), I just meant to say "that" Natan is coming with us, ...don't worry, he doesn't refer to himself in third person or anything.
hello... not sure i am actually supposed to say anything about the merch, but don't think will do any harm to let you know it's going to be awesome this tour... brandi has worked ultra hard on some amazing new merch, and it's colourful, and it's new, and definitely a celebration of the 30th anniversary!! i'm really excited actually, can't wait to get my tentacles on it...
Great News! The last set of Black t-shirts sold on the website had some pretty naff designs on them, defiantly not much thought went into those designs or the quality of them either.
for anyone interested in this thread (and i think that might just be ... er ... me ahem ... tumbleweed floating across the screen as i type...), ed told me the other day that clockdrops is a very similar pattern, and then it actually does launch off into space!! totally forgot about it... really must start getting back into the first few albums again!! was so obsessed with there is nothing and the bits between the bits and tantric obstacles when i first heard them... need to reunite myself with them again
Re: Dream Set-List for 30th Anniversary Tour... « Result #13 Yesterday at 2:14pm »
hey beatbass... i definitely agree that it would be amazing to hear some tracks that have never been played live before... for me i reckon symmetricum in particular would be something of a dream come true, as well as a few others... and then there are the old classics like sniffing dog which although have been played before, have not in ages... what's also nice is hearing completely new tracks from an upcoming album that have never been played live before... fingers crossed that that will happen!!
wow, yeah the hidden step would be amazing to hear live... and plant music too (not least cos i am playing darbuka on it haha!!)
loworbit... yeah oddhamshaw would be nice too!! i love how raw those early live tracks sounded...
damien, that's the most chilled out encore ever lol!! would be really nice though, although i must admit i like the set to be more like..... really rocky.... then more ambient / maybe acoustic (saucers / sunscape kind of tracks maybe, with jams).... then really rocky... then an even more really rocky encore!! totally with you on dance of the loomi, one of my all time favourites, and space bass too...
here's another suggestion... the om riff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! would love to hear the ozric's cover it again, i missed it first time around cos i was too young, but love how ed plays it... bet brandi would have fun playing the bassline ) silas showed me how to play it on the guitar... it's a lot of fun!! by the way.... going totally off tangent, but silas is an exceptional guitarist... if you ever lucky enough to hear him you will be very happy!!

Being a '30th Anniversary' tour lets hope there's going to be a wide range of celebratory t-shirts for sale at the gigs. Last tour there was nothing at all, not even any bootleg sellers.

Re: Dream Set-List for 30th Anniversary Tour... « Result #17 Yesterday at 10:28am »
hehe some good choices there. Would love to hear Sniffing Dog live, I know it used to be a live classic but never heard it myself. A few regulars like Jurrasic , Eternal Wheel , The throbbe would be great but i would love to hear Oddhamshaw , last track from Erpsongs, sounds like a live recording on there anyways.. cannee wait to see them again

I Love the first couple of minutes, very moody & atmospheric. It makes me imagine a massive Alien Spaceship gliding menacingly across the Medieval English countryside in the early hours. The locals wake because of the noise & watch in awe as its slowly moves off into the distance & into the dark night sky...

Re: Dream Set-List for 30th Anniversary Tour... « Result #19 Yesterday at 9:51am »
It would be good if they did a lot of stuff that hasnt been done before or has only been played live a few times. I'm sure there's some tracks that because of the studio enhancements couldn't be performed live at the time of release but with all the software & gizmos available these days i'm sure most tracks could be performed live in some form or another.
As for a set list Spyroid777 you can cut yours in half as i think @ Birmingham last May they only did 8 or 9 tracks. Opening Track; AYURVEDIC followed at some point during the evening PIXEL DREAM; THE HIDDEN STEP; PLANT MUSIC; OAKUM; ARBORESCENCE; SPIRALMIND; DISDOTS; OOLITE GROVE; SPIRALS IN HYPERSPACE; Encore JURASSIC SHIFT.

Re: Tours UK « Result #24 on May 24, 2013, 3:27pm »
cool vid... especially as it is from a gig in Naples! I support Napoli football team and have watched them play a few times; their fans are just simply the best in the world...An Ozric gig there would be wild!!! *FORZA NAPOLI!* *fORZA OZRIC!*
Re: Dream Set-List for 30th Anniversary Tour... « Result #28 on May 24, 2013, 2:33pm »
Oolite Grove would be really fun to hear again too actually, good point!! Aramanu would be a nice chilled out blissed out track to play... before... SnIfFiNg DoG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )))))))))
Coily is amazing too...
too many to chose from!! (= we are spoilt for choice )
Re: Dream Set-List for 30th Anniversary Tour... « Result #30 on May 24, 2013, 2:11pm »
Sorry Dom, I've enjoyed Dissolution most of the times I've heard it live but it would probably sound a bit random to my ears today. Dots Thots would be great, I'd think I were living Underslunky if I heard it live As for Trees of Etenity, they did use to play it in the 80s. Out of the rest you mentioned I'd go bananas ( ) if they played Symmetricum, Shima Koto, Splat and Disdots.
Some other suggestions would be post-Joie/Merv tunes like Oolite Grove, Aramanu, Coily (Coily!) and maybe even Spice Doubt.

Hey Yiannis.... 'Could do without... Dissolution.......................' noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Actually, you know what I forgot but just realised we all would LOVE to hear live again??????????
DOTS THOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But actually, yeah, add in Trees Of Eternity though it's such a lush track!! listening to now again for first time in ages... WOW!!!!!!! why has it never been played live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Dream Set-List for 2013 tour... « Result #33 on May 24, 2013, 1:51pm »
I 'd love most of those (could do without Snakepit, Dissolution and Kick Muck though, with Trees of Eternity added). That setlist would be about four hours long though!
Dream Set-List for 30th Anniversary Tour... « Result #34 on May 24, 2013, 1:45pm »
Hello there...
I know this thread has been done before, but I have been dreaming of a setlist for the tour later this year and wondered if anyone else has any tracks that are really special to them that they would love to hear??
Of course, if I had my way the set would be 6 hours long ... but then I don't think that the band would have much energy left after that to play any other gigs
So... here is my dream set-list:
(Note how rocky the opening is lol)
Intro Jam Myriapod Jurassic Shift Cat DNA Symmetricum Eternal Wheel Shima Koto There's A Planet Here Tidal Convergence Papyrus Sploosh! Lost In the Sky Paper Monkey's Erpland Snakepit Sniffing Dog Dissolution The Throbbe Splat! Disdots -------------------------- ENCORE:
OI White Rhino Tea Kick Muck
Yeah so that's kind of how I am feeling right now... but then again, if you asked me tomorrow it might well be completely different!! One thing I know for sure is I am dreaming of hearing Dissolution again ...
Ed... it's been wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!
Re: 30th Anniversary Tour « Result #35 on May 24, 2013, 1:25pm »
hahaha er brandi i think you've mistaken me for a certain synth playing hippy who likes to fill merch-stall types bunks with bananas and other assorted produce ... er ... at least i am *so* sure he was the culprit ... at least once... but then again it could have been that weird guitarist who looks like the erpman on the jurassic shift cover... unless it was that ... but, maybe then it was the ... er ... and i *still* have not forgotten what happened in the lobby of that hotel in istanbul brandi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! er....... arrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh!! everyones plotting against me again......... !! this is going to be very interesting tour...........
Wicked! ...I saw Rush at Red Rocks last year with Bill and Mandy, ( do you remember them? Mandy used to do the Rush fan club, and they bring us all kinds of amazing organic homegrown food everything we play Chicago? They say "HI!" too. ) The show was epic, something went a bit wrong with their intro and you could tell Geddy had to enter a bit quicker than he desired, he was a bit shaky for the first track, but after that it a like someone had pushed the quantize button, and Neil was like a train, or an android, or something out of a sci-fi film, he's so dead on it's like he's not human and therefore can not be distracted by mere mortal thoughts.
Fantastic show the time machine tour. Unreal. Neil has always been my guide and inspiration..long may it continue Yes i remember syrinx69 and bill they gave me a load of fanzines etc of rush. Very sweet folks. Hugs back at them. Briliant dvd the rio show and the last 2 for that matter. Good old david nothing wrong with that . Only gotta wait one more day and im 6 rows from neils kit.Smack bang in front. I get to be the rush fan drumming nutter staring at him all gig for a change.lol
Yeah i was very happy to play toronto on a tour for obvious rush reasons and wanted a yyz luggage ticket for ages. Didnt get one until years later. Fortunately we got a new bus that gig instead of the deathtrap rust bucket we were on at the time. Ask ed as to how shot it was and how hot it was in the desert! YYZ main musical theme comes from the beacon pulse emitted from the cn tower i believe.

WARNING - I've done something very bad. I got over excited, Glasgow and Manchester are NOT confirmed as of yet! Hopefully I will have an ok from Glasgow soon, but the booking agent for Band on the Wall (which I will never be able to say with out getting that wings track in my head, I know it's on the run, not on the wall, and I thought it would stop after a while, but every time, there it is), anyway, their agent is away for a few weeks before we know if it's actually for sure confirmed. I knew I was announcing the tour too soon, hopefully nothing will change though...

HI B!! Nice to see you here! Maybe now I have someone to help me deliver the news! (I think unlike a lot of former members Balázs is not as afraid of the Internet, and if you ask him questions about drums, chances are he might actually answer.) Oh and B, just so you don't get confused. There are two Dominics here, one is Birdyhop who is lovely and sweet and wonderful and I'm sure you will agree with me when you meet him on tour... and the other is Dominic Monkeysmile (spyroid) who will be with us selling merch on the tour, you've got watch out for that one, he get's these crazy ideas that your plotting against him, when it's not even you, and the next thing you know you wake up in your bunk covered in bananas... He seems sweet at first, but...

wow, i havent checked out the board for a long while, but what a surprise to hear a tour on its way. fantastic!!! big love to you all xxx Hiya Brandi please send my love to Ed too, cant wait to catch up. new drummer? bimey...: -) sounds fun. Dom
Hey there, is Balázs here! This is my first message on this board and I just wanted to say "Hi" for you all!! It is the biggest honor in my life that now I can write to you as the drummer of Ozric Tentacles, but the main thing for me is that after Oli - who was really amazing - I just hope you'll enjoy my playing too on the stage and on the next albums! I promise I'll do my best! Have a wonderful day for you all and keep watching Brandi's news!
Welcome man... and all the best/congrats, your playing on the youtube vid is great, great focus in your face too !
So before anyone goes buying their plane tickets, I suppose their is one more little thing that I should add to the equation. I'm not really sure if I'm meant to mention this yet, so don't spread the word until it's confirmed, but it is possible we will also be appearing in December for six shows, ...in India.
That would be awesome, December is a good time to be in India. Interesting promotional situation that must bring about. The Mrs. here did a group creative show in India.
I am sure you know the score but expect things to be less than smooth and not work like clockwork, even in official capacity things can take time and be a tad frustrating. Make sure you all have your visa's sorted that can be an exhausting task in itself.
