Edit: In case you're wondering, the last edit was on May 1st. Screenshot. It was for a class, so it's not amazing, stellar material. Just neat how it's being mentioned now. I mainly wrote it because of Under the Coke Sign, which always reminds me of that large Coke tower.

What the?

But how?

What are the chances?!

It's good to know that people have signal out there to get online.

Coincidences. Though, I am curious why things might be happening there specifically.

It may have just made good business sense - the "new owner" is apparently trying to drum up investors, and having Warp rent out a place that ties into the BoC aesthetic for a night might be helpful in getting them off the ground.

I keep thinking about the band's description of The Campfire Headphase: "and 'The Campfire Headphase' is pretty much an imaginary road trip in a rusty pick-up heading west through the brain. So we’re re-setting the clock now to a point where it’s all about structured tracks with simple, instantly gratifying melodies again."

That, partnered with the related imagery out there in the desert (Coke sign, Skyline, hexagonal salt flats in Badwater, etc.), makes me very intrigued as to how they tied all this in together.

Oh man they are going to play a live set aren't they. Ohgodohgodohgodohgod

This isn't the first coincidence I've had with this ARG, but I won't mention it because it sounds unbelievable. Feel free to PM me if you're curious, though. It was just a "you had to be there" moment, if that makes sense.

In the desert? As awesome as it sounds I doubt it very much, unless it's for die-hard fans and I just don't see that happening but heh, who knows

It's almost too much to hope for - if they do, I hope they are pro-recording devices, ala most jambands. I have a feeling it will just be a projection system where they either play Cold Earth or the full album. I seem to remember them mentioning at some point that international shows would be a no go for personal reasons (maybe one of them is afraid of flying?)

My guess is that since they have people drive out to that desolate spot there are likely going to be some perks, t-shirts or thingies, it's not for the average fan who just says cool, some people will have driven half a day to get there, to just watch a projection would seem a bit rude, however they will meet other boccers so, yeah that's nice!

Well the beauty of the internet is that even if only 50 people show up, either Warp will professionally record it, or the attendees will, and it will serve its purpose to a larger audience. I'm sure a small audience is what they would want anyways!

I am pretty skeptical about a live set though, as overdue as we are for one!

I'm probably just getting carried away. I agree, it's probably gonna be a listening party type thing. It just seems like too big of a deal to have all these people turn up just to hear Cold Earth though.

Nothing of value to add to the speculation - but just have to wish those who make the trek out a safe trip!

Take care, and enjoy yourselves! Hopefully, for the rest of us, you guys have a great time and can share your experiences!

Good luck, everyone. Be safe.
