Faust, Luke Vibert Play UK Festival

The 2007 Venn Festival in Bristol, UK will be held from May 31 to June 3rd. Looks like a lot of good downtempo/electronica/space rock/atmospheric type bands. i also see some vaudville acts in there as well. should be worth it for the Faust set alone! Faust play "krautrock" but really spacey type stuff. like spacmen3 meet neu! or something. i am still kicking myself for not seeing Faust when they came to SF in 1999. i think it had been 14 years since they had last played here, and it will probably be another 14 before they make it back! who knows how much longer they will be playing as a group, so definitely check this out if you are in UK.
