So A Terrible Splendour have been asked to play the Exit Festival in July. It will be in a Serbian fortress on the Danube, and there will be Duran Duran, Miss Kittin, Felix da Housecat and Guns'n'Roses!
Below the cut is the poster from the website, to prove I'm not making it up:
( Now we've got Europe )
We are on the Elektrana stage, which specialises in electronic music. We are opening for a band called Detachments, who are quite good and can be seen here:
The opportunity came from a nice Serbian guy who has a synth-pop blog and has liked us for a while, recommending us to his friend who does the Elektrana stage. It's quite exciting and still feels slightly unreal. I have never been to Serbia and have not seen Duran since 1997! I imagine it may involve quite an organisational effort, but I think it will be worth it to reach new audiences who aren't confined to the London scene, which isn't really very big in terms of electro-pop. I am going to try and learn a bit of the language.
