1. Blonde Redhead please. Thank you.

   Comment by penn — 29. 07. 08 @ 11:31 am

2. Mono would be good, they are killer live!

   Comment by Harriet — 29. 07. 08 @ 4:30 pm

3. Sunn O))) Boris, Weedeater/Bongzilla, & if you pay them enough money to reform Les Rallizes Denudes (best band ever imo)

   Comment by Russell Smith — 29. 07. 08 @ 5:32 pm

4. Silver Mount Zion, Venetian Snares, Birchville Cat Motel, Melvins, Lightning Bolt, Jackie O Motherfucker, Black Dice, Colleen. Any of these would make Supersonic reach new levels of brilliance imo, though it would still be damn hard to top ‘08.

   Comment by Paddy — 30. 07. 08 @ 2:53 am

5. supersilent or spunk (norwegian ladies) please, they are unpredictable/exciting improvisers.

   Comment by skarabee — 31. 07. 08 @ 11:10 am

6. Supersilent definitely or Deathprod solo, Orthodox again but much later on the bill, Wolves in the Throne Room, Torche, Cave, HEALTH, Circle, Deerhoof, Burning Star Core and if you could get Can to reform and play Future Days that would be lovely.

7. I’m pretty new to the genres generally featured at Supersonic, but I do totally love A Silver Mt Zion. They have become one of my alltime fave bands after a friend introduced me to them.

   Also love live drum and bass.

   Comment by catnip — 01. 08. 08 @ 10:40 am

8. I also vote for A Silver Mount Zion or could we have Stereolab please - pretty please. Colleen also gets my vote

   would like to see berg sans nipple again. Shellac, Sonic Youth (we could all club together for the fee), Terry Riley and John Cale playing Church of Anthrax - sorry went a bit Don’t Look Back there, Steve Reich, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Breeders, Feu Therese, The Evens (Ian MacKaye and Amy someone).

   if you want pets playing instruments victor is really good on the guitar - maybe the girls would like to form a rock band with him and two or three small squirrels

9. The cat kicks the dog’s arse in the theremin stakes, I’m afraid, but then cats always will beat dogs.

   I hate to make suggestions for Supersonic as the joy for me is seeing stuff I’d never heard of, or even conceived as possible, before but when I saw this madness it did make me think of you:

   http://www.pinktentacle.com/2008/07/circuit-bent-pikachu-instruments/

   If not the Pikachus then maybe some more circuit bending people to join Brian and co?

   Not sure if they’re a Supersonic band (not sure what a Supersonic band is, to be honest) but I’m quite taken with Whipping Cats at the moment.

   Pete out.

   Comment by Pete Ashton — 01. 08. 08 @ 11:59 pm

10. Shellac, Machinefabriek, Xela, Hood, Tarentel, Growing, Gareth Hardwick, Zettasaur, Black Dice. That lot would make me very happy.

    Comment by Nick — 02. 08. 08 @ 1:28 am

11. I think Ulver would be awesome as would Aidan Baker/Nadja or something Justin Broadrick related like Jesu or Final. Anything Neurosis or Melvins sounding will do the trick. Transitional should come back again and Kling Klang, PCM and Scotch Egg. What about Zeni Geva seeing as they couldn’t play last year and some of the Deawood recordings bands?

    Comment by Jums — 02. 08. 08 @ 6:39 pm

12. CORRUPTED

    Comment by Kunal — 03. 08. 08 @ 8:00 pm

13. How about that ace new band the Solway Fifth boys are in? They’re so good they don’t even have a name yet! They’re about to come back and remove folks faces. This is not a plug. Oh no.

    Comment by Darrun. — 04. 08. 08 @ 1:46 pm

14. […] Suggestions for Supersonic Festival 09 Yours are requested. Also, videos of a small dog and a cat playing theramins/thermamii/whatever. […]

    Pingback by Created in Birmingham » Links for August 4th — 04. 08. 08 @ 6:55 pm

15. Seems greedy to even make suggestions after it was so good this year. But hell! you did ask, Circle & Nadja are great shouts (never managed to get to see either). Then maybe Keith Kenniff in his “Goldmund” guise, I could just go some stark, emotional piano and then back to some howling power chords!

    Seriously though, one of the great delights of Supersonic is turning up to see an act you don’t know and getting blown away (then nipping back to the Merch hall and blowing more money!). Actually how fantastic the merch area was, should be mentioned as well - I better start saving now if it’s going to be that great again next year!

    Did wonder if there was any chance of building on the DIY thing and trying to find some room for a micro brewer to sell their stuff (Don’t know if that’s possible with the Custard Factories Bars though? or maybe if that just proves I’m now an old F**t! yeah it’s probably the later aint it?).

    Comment by Mike — 04. 08. 08 @ 8:14 pm

16. Just thought of some more - Wraiths, Gnaw Their Tongues, Burial Hex, Moss, Sleep Research Facility, Pita

    Comment by Jums — 04. 08. 08 @ 11:19 pm

17. …..TenhornedBeast, Marzuraan……..

    Comment by Jums — 04. 08. 08 @ 11:20 pm

18. Maybe - with a year to organise it - the petting zoo could be achieved.

    Also a charity for pygmy goats.

    Comment by Russ L — 05. 08. 08 @ 7:10 am

19. The Twilight Sad (loud scottish shoegazer) and A Forest Of Stars (black metal victoriana). I agree with #16 Jums on the evil ambience suggestions ie Burial Hex, Wraiths, etc. How about some dubstep like Burial, Jazzsteppa, DJ Distance, Innasekt, etc or more live drum n’ bass like poster #7 catnip suggested. I would reccomend DJ Scamp for the job. Albino Ghost Monkey (this weird and wonderful american video game musician) would make an excellent Supersonicesque act. I would say Crystal Castles too but i’m afraid that they wouldn’t go down very well due to their ‘nefarious’ practices. / But all these suggestions aside… If you could get The Knife and/or Current 93 to perform here I would actually sell my soul to Capsule.

    Comment by Belly Button — 05. 08. 08 @ 11:37 am

20. Oooo suggestions, suggestions, probably shouldnt but will anyway, British Murder Boys live - birminghams finest purveyors of industrial strength techno for Friday night.
    Boredoms, Boredoms, Boredoms Boredoms, Boredoms!!!!!!!!!
    Mammatus are kinda wrong but very right at the same time and would fit in fine methinks
    Bohren und der club of gore would be a perfect way to mend broken ears on a sunday evening. Mike Pattons fantomas, Right I’ll stop now before I get carried away…. oh and I’ll put in any spare cash ive got to go towards a sonic youth show…(sara) and then theres Liars would be good…erm sorry,
    Whatever it’ll be my favourite weekend of the year whoever you book. Thanks Girls…!

    Comment by Atomic — 05. 08. 08 @ 12:10 pm

21. Boredoms - Yes!!!!

    Comment by Jums — 06. 08. 08 @ 1:06 pm

22. jazzfinger current 93 michael cashmore nurse with wound six organs of admittance comets on fire throbbing gristle any of them would be amazing

    Comment by compact col — 06. 08. 08 @ 1:26 pm

23. My mate Phil wants to know if you can book the cat playing the theremin. He says he would pay good money to see that.

    My guess is that the cat would be cheaper to book than the dog, as the dog seems to need a human accompanier, whereas “king cat” can play solo!

    Comment by Helga — 06. 08. 08 @ 3:42 pm

24. Any of these would be amazing:
    Throbbing Gristle, Black Dice, Skullflower (or any Matthew Bower!), Agaskodo Teliverek, PRE, Chops, Grouper , Chris Corsano, Mindflayer, NAPALM DEATH!!!!

    Comment by Dan — 07. 08. 08 @ 12:53 am

25. Oh, and Ikue Mori too!

    Comment by Dan — 07. 08. 08 @ 12:54 am

26. I hate to make suggestions, that kinda takes the fun out of the “wait and see” game. That and the fact you’ve always done superbly well without my assistance.. hahaha…. Firstly, I am in full agreement with a number of the commentators above that you need to book the cat playing the theramin, I’d pay to see that. Cats rule…. If you could get Old Man Gloom across I’d be a very happy bunny, in fact a very, very happy bunny. Or maybe Battle of Mice, or a bit of country doom with Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots… Whomever is on I shall look forward to it whatever….

    Comment by H — 07. 08. 08 @ 10:44 am

27. Ooh, give Acid Mothers Temple the Space2 warehouse (or any big space really) for a few hours and tell them to bring their friends. Maybe an all nighter - 2-6am or something?

    Comment by Pete Ashton — 07. 08. 08 @ 7:27 pm

28. Would like to see Sion Orgon live
    or we could have a whip round and get the knife??

29. aluk todolo - corrupted - earthless - circle - bardo pond - comets on fire - zombi (again) - seefeel (back together already) - darsombra-maserati-the entire roster of psf records

    that’ll do!

    Comment by eyeshakingking — 12. 08. 08 @ 7:49 pm

30. Zombi would be awesome if they are still together? Nurse with Wound, Faust……

    Comment by Bod — 13. 08. 08 @ 5:34 pm

31. Hans Joachim Irmler`s Faust ,Bolt Thrower ( Karl Willetts played a blinder with P.C.M. this year ),.Throbbing Gristle and a performance from Amon Duul 2 would be wonderful. Just a thought, if you could get Dave Stewart to reform Egg for Supersonic I could die a happy man . Thanks again for this year .

    Comment by Dave Kelly — 14. 08. 08 @ 11:03 am

32. Massive +1 for Acid Mothers Temple. Seen them thrice over recent months - best live band in the world!

36. just thought that these guys may shake things up a bit. everyone loves a heavy metal cover band

    I give you Tragedy - a heavy metal Bee Gees tribute band

    http://www.letsmaketragedyhappen.com/

    ohhhhh the Knife - yes please - pretty please with sugar and cherries on top

    Comment by sara — 19. 08. 08 @ 2:39 pm

37. ooo yes, how could I forget The Knife, currently in my top 10 and special to me because I discovered them all by myself after hearing Karin’s amazing voice on the Royksopp’s What Else Is There

    Comment by catnip — 23. 08. 08 @ 9:18 am

38. Optrum, Shellac, Wolfgang Voight, Jim White, Hair Police and I can vouch for The Knife being amazing live. Oh and if we’re going down the line of kidnapping peoples relatives and holding them at gun-point until they reform and agree to play then Big Black would be nice. As ever though I have all faith in the Capsule girls so do whatever you want!!

    Comment by paulinho — 25. 08. 08 @ 8:28 pm

39. gotta second The Knife and Wolfgang Voight, would be good to see some more electronic stuff to balance out the metal . also how about stereolab or better still a stereolab vs broadcast vs ghost box hauntology face off, spooky.. and i wouldn’t mind seeing panda bear, animal collective, panasonic or Matthew dear either..

53. Hi. I’d like to see some metal that wasn’t droney/doomy so how about A Forest of Stars (UK Victorian-themed black metal) and Fen (heavy post-rocky BM) or if you can bring someone over then Wolves in the Throne Room (US) or Darkspace (Switzerland). All atmospheric and heavy and wonderful.

    Comment by hello — 25. 09. 08 @ 6:12 pm

54. Wes’s suggestions are nearly all spot on, Sightings and Shit & Shine especially.

60. I’ll add a vote for Ikscheltaschel (http://www.myspace.com/Ikscheltaschel) Danish rap miesters where one member is a 12ft dragon. They don’t rap in Danish, but some sort of made-up language - fantastic.

    Comment by Jums — 18. 10. 08 @ 3:43 pm

62. After seeing both David Scott Stone (sometime Melvins cohort) and Lucky Dragons play some of the most bewitching, captivating performances i’ve seen in a while this weekend, definitely book them! Another shout for Foot Village too!
