Nah I would see why Dirk would do Ki, it's just surprising to see such a machine being asked to play music that requires an almost complete lack of 'machine-ness', or a Duris himself calls it, "Gene Hoglan syndrome".

Oh it's the joke. Dirk's displayed groove ability.

I mean, it makes sense. I'm sure he can groove and he can pull off the end of the title track at the same time. That's pretty awesome.

Word on the street is that Shining (Nor) are supporting on the Decon night.
You can also catch them and Dev at Damnation the Saturday before at Damnation Fest in Leeds.
(I will fix this broken record once the festival has gone, or once everyone here has bought a ticket )

But then you have the 16ths at the end of Ki, maybe he's going to pull off some machinery there.

I wonder what an entire audience simultaneously jizzing in their pants will look like.

a couple quick things..about Dirk playing Ki..dont think so they just wrote 10-13 but the 10th is Ki and the 13t his Ghost...so i think they just put that to show that there are 4 shows...cause we know FOR SURE two turn tables is playing ghost

and also i just talked to Che about the Ki show, she had never even heard of it and asked if it was in vancouver

So the release saying that Ki will feature Dirk is wrong and we should believe you?

im just saying i dont totally trust that release when it contradicts itself like that

Damnit. I was hoping for ages that she'd be brought over for that show. I absolutely adore her parts on Ki... Surprised she didn't even know they were happening. Maybe her and Dev aren't in contact anymore since Ki or something.

I'm just guessing that maybe it'd be too expensive to have her over. There's a lot of guests each night that have to be flown in, fed and put up for the night; maybe Dev is just picking whoever he think needs to be there?

According to Dev on twitter: "still in talks. There's some things that need to be sorted."

Ah yeah, I know it'd be too expensive for the sake of 40 minutes... woulda been cool though. He can get Anneke to do the vocals that night, maybe... Or sher he could bring Floor Jansen for extra epic loftiness.

Dirk on Ki?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... ha... ha...

But at least he's doing the Decon shows. I don't think poor Ryan could handle the title track.

I bet he could!! Ryan is, IMHO, an amazing drummer. He is totally different to Dirk. Doesn't mean that he could blast if he wanted to.

(Dirks great too)

side note...that was me who tweeted him about it
