Sad news from the Carter USM facebook page......
Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine play their last ever show at Brixton Academy on November 22nd 2014
Tickets on sale 9am 21st February 2014
‘All good things must come to an end’ – Geoffrey Chaucer
These bittersweet announcements are alwa...ys difficult.
Let’s start with a quote. Let’s blame it on Chaucer, old Geoffrey C with his silly glass half full all good things being destined to end theory.
Here goes.
On November 22nd this year at Brixton Academy a very good thing will sadly come to an end when we play our final ever Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine live show. I say ‘sadly’ but the sad element will come afterwards. On the 22nd we’re going to have a big party. We’re going to celebrate all the fantastic Carter shows that have taken place since we got back together in 2007. Those first two ‘one off’ shows in 2007 that completely blew us away and made us desperate to do more. The Drum Machine Years gigs where we played the first four albums from start to finish, even ‘Evil’, which I completely fucked up. There was the incredible Beautiful Days festival, the Glasgow King Tuts benefit show, all of them, all of the reunion gigs have been amazing. I’m sure other bands say it but we genuinely have got the best audience in the world.
That’s you that is. It wouldn’t just not be the same without you it would be rubbish. Join us for one last time this November. Come and meet old friends, make new ones, dance yourself lame and sing yourself hoarse. Let’s go out on a high that makes Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic project seem subterranean by comparison. Have a bloody good laugh, shed a tear, raise a glass or two and let’s see if we can break the venue’s bar record one more time before we go.

I know there's a a lot of Carter fans amongst our ranks, the scrum for tickets next Friday will be intense.

Already seen this and there's going to be a crowd of us going down for the weekend.

Sad. Love that band, but I'm glad I saw them a couple of times over the last couple of years...
So, what do you reckon the chances of true fans getting hold of tickets are? Or will be another case of tickets going on sale... completely sold out two minutes later... and hundreds of tickets available for a MASSIVE mark-up price on those ******* awful rip-off sites within a half-hour?

I'll certainly get tickets (well, try at least), but I don't believe it'll necessarily be their last gig ever... pretty much every single one of the Brixton gigs since the come-back in 2007 has been their 'last ever gig' - eventually it will be, but it doesn't necessarily have to be this year ;)

In response to my last message...
It looks like tickets for the last ever CUSM gig are going to get to the real fans thanks to, yes, the dreaded Facebook...
But if you don't want to do that, get on the Carter website, but do it tonight, looks like the presale goes on line tomorrow (Wednesday)... I can't make that gig but I hope that some of you do...

Got my ticket :) :)

Me too :)
-
Sold out now.
