Hey all, I'm back...I'd left for a while, but checked the list out over the weekend... What prompted me to post was the question about female KW Fans... I'm a female Kraftwerk fan, cause Kraftwerk are the best! I am really excited about the upcoming Kraftwerk shows. Yes, I can't go to any, but just knowing they are playing, are touring, and that my fellow fans will get to enjoy their music, is just fantastic. pat __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

2002 Concert Dates
by anthony.ristic＠btopenworld.com 28 Aug '02

Hey all, So now the dust has settled and hundreds and hundreds of people have bought tickets for the 5 shows (is it 5?, I think so), what is the likelihood of KW cancelling? I might start to 'run a book' on it. Here are the odds: 7-4 Kraftwerk cancel all shows with no reason 2-1 Kraftwerk cancel/postpone all shows with a reason 3-1 Kraftwerk themselves appear, do the shows on time and everyone goes home happy for ALL shows 10-1 Kraftwerk do not appear in person but their robots do for at least ONE of the shows any takers? It seems to me that KW are appealing to French-speaking nations on this mini-tour. Perhaps they felt that they had neglected this group within Europe? As far as I am aware, KW have played in France and Belgium frequently during their history. T a disgruntled English fan who is not happy about having to travel to Paris and who will no doubt read that a UK date has been announced on this list tomorrow having already bought tickets and made arrangements and who will then be told by someone on the list that "I should not complain because at least I am going to see KW" moan moan moan whinge whinge moan complain whinge moan KRAFTWERK ANNOUNCE TWO LONDON DATES (yeah - in yer dreams

Diskodiktator
by Der Automat 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

The following is quoted from the SIDE-LINE NEWSLETTER 20/08/02 N °155: Ex-Spock member debutes with new band "We Are..." is the debut album from Diskodiktator, a group with members from bands like S.P.O.C.K, Anton Weber and Driller Killer. With a full length album 'totally financed by criminal activities, male prostitution and just plain luck' Diskodiktator gives the listener 17 tracks of electronica, disco and rhythm. The band itself calls it "a weird mixture of Kraftwerk and Village People with a dose of Beck-ish vocals and lyrics." The 17 track album will be issued in a strictly limited edition of 300 copies which will make this an instant collectors item. Diskodiktator is Johan Billing (ex S.P.O.C.K), Magnus Johansson (ex Anton Weber), Daniel Silwerfeldt and SvennAntenn (Driller Killer). - Diskodiktator - http://www.diskodiktator.com --unquoted-- DER AUTOMAT __o _ \ <_ (_) / (_)

They want to play in Belgium because they want to be able to have some REALLY good beer. Although the Alt beer of Dusseldorf is sublime.......... :) I'm going with the "they play all shows and everyone is happy "scenario, they have to start planning for their retirement. kraftwerk-request(a)mailman.xmission.com wrote: > Send Kraftwerk mailing list submissions to > kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kraftwerk > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > kraftwerk-request(a)mailman.xmission.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > kraftwerk-admin(a)mailman.xmission.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Kraftwerk digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
