ATP (UK version) 2009 - who's in?

No thread yet?

Stuff announced, both at Minehead this year.

Weekend 1 - The Fans Strike Back: 8 - 10 May, featuring Devo, Sleep. Spiritualized, Grails. (http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/TheFansStrikeBack/News/View/0810310923.php)

Weekend 2 - The Breeders: 15 - 17 May, featuring The Breeders, Throwing Muses, Bon Iver,Teenage Fanclub, Holy Fuck (http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/ATPBreeders/News/View/0810310931.php)

I am as yet undecided, and will probably end up going to neither, but please corral in here and convince me, and others, which (if either) is worth the hassle of traipsing to Somerset.

weekend one looks great

1st Weekend >>>>>> 2nd Weekend

1st weekend has a reformed Sleep >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything else

proviso re: picking groups who have never played atp before bodes well for weekend one. a lot of people voted tom waits and bjork for the last ones. that would be dreamy.

<3 that the Breeders like J-Zone.

Is he still doing basketball blogging and sports stuff? Since he declared hiphop dead will he just tell more funny stories about that

I was hoping that Harvey Milk would do the fans one, hooray!

I agreed to go the Breeders wknd for my friend's 30th, but for me, it's a less than thrilling line-up so far. Would love to see Harvey Milk added.

Still waiting for an ATP New York lineup update...

Is there going to be a Nightmare Before Xmas this year? I don't think I can afford any festivals this summer but I might be slightly better off by the end of the year.

ATP Vs. Fans looks better and better every day. But I'm saving my money on the hope that Nightmare rules again this year.

Yeah, there is a Nightmare Before Xmas. If you win the write-the-programme-introduction competition for the Vs the Fans one you can win a chalet for Xmas.

I am excited as my friends' band was number 100 on one of the last lists, so they should be being asked to play. Woo!

wow @ YMG playing that whole album

new york announcement coming veeeery soon. i know we said that before, but this time it's truer.

:D

wow @ YMG playing that whole album

I would love love LOVE to see this at ATP New York but, you know, not sure that'll happen.

Still not sure if I'm gonna make it to this but Lords were one of the best bands I saw last year no messin' 'round - they deserve more ILM luv

Yeah, I'm praying for some UK/USA crossover irt YMG and Jesus Lizard.

pass on the whole thing, the remaining tickets are out of my price range.
will console myself with the london jesus lizard gig come may 11.

Lords have indeed been confirmed today along with Jesu, Grouper, Nico Muhly, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Sian Alice Group all for fans event. plus added Giant Sand, Th' Faith Healers, Madlib & J. Rocc, Heartless Bastards and Juan Son to the breeders one. nice lot of stuff there.

Yeah I got myself a London Jesus Lizard ticket yesterday, tbh there's not many other bands on that weekend I haven't seen already that I want to. xpost

It's a good job I can't afford (and am too much of a sad no-music-geek-mates loner) to go to either, because having to decide between Grouper + HEALTH vs Th'Faith Healers + Holy Fuck would make me sad

Hooray for Lords! Also hooray for Grouper and CFTPA. Don't know much about Nico Muhly but it could be interesting.

Th'Faith Healers are the sort of band I would have loved to see back then but am not that bothered about seeing now. I'm just sick of reformations, basically. Really really sick of reformations.

I'd go and see then now - I'm sure they still have plenty of aptitude for rocking - I just wouldn't put a lot of importance on it

For some reason normally I hate this current mania for reformations but would still like to see TFH. I have no idea why they'd be different (they were very important to me, like, 5 years after the fact, but then so were the similarly recently reformed Polvo, who I didn't bother to see).

Might just be that I didn't know about it until today, but I am quite happy to pass on the Jesus Lizard, so...

Personally, I know I'd be very pleased to see Th' Faith Healers at ATP New York (hint hint)!

Still undecided, still working on getting a chalet-load together for the Fans one, with an offer of a room for The Breeders if I want it. There's nothing making me go OMG MUST GO yet, though plenty I would enjoy if I was there. Hmmmm.

Have been booked in for The Fans Strike Back for a while and a bit hmmmm about the lineup, but Grouper, Lords, Casiotone, Harvey Milk etc over the last couple of weeks are getting me all excitable.

if anybody is interested in purchasing a 4 person self catering chalet for MBV ATP, let me know and i will make it happen with or without the waving of a magic wand (buyer chooses).

by the way dont think there was a thread on here about our Ten Years Of ATP fest we're doing in december featuring old curators, atp favourites and people from our label. lineup so far:

* Explosions In The Sky
* Tortoise
* Shellac
* Dirty Three
* Melvins
* Mudhoney
* The For Carnation
* Papa M
* Deerhoof
* Fuck Buttons
* The Drones
* Sleepy Sun
* Bardo Pond
* Battles
* Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks
* Sunn O)))
* J Mascis And The Fog
* Apse
* Alexander Tucker & Decomposed Orchestra

^^ reason for sale tbh

we just added Modest Mouse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Breeders to the ten years one.

OMG please somebody buy my MBV tickets

loooooooool

futbh

Surely Modest Mouse alone are worth the price of oh hang on

I will buy your tickets for £0, you must agree cuz otherwise this will be the first year since 2004 that I haven't attended at least one ATP :o(.

have to decline, sorry. you should attend, though.

i have only your best interests at heart.

I miss Autechre '03. That was my fave. No obligatory Shellac!!

^^^

wouldn't mind obligatory lightning bolt though.

in, um, seven? ATPs I've managed to get away with only seeing Shellac once. But Lightning Bolt I did four times in one weekend.

£1, g-kit? I think that's as high as I can go if I want to pay the rent, boo hoo.

Keep going...

This always sounds like it would be great festival if it weren't for the music.

Sunn O))) performing The GrimmRobe Demos
Sunn O))) performing from Monoliths & Dimensions
The Magic Band
Lightning Bolt
múm
OM
Porn
Edan
Tall Firs

confirmed for the ten years one. lovely.

Lightning Bolt + múm = win

i switched up my tix now btw

gonna announce a few ex-curators on friday too hopefully

would snap up 2 berth if they weren't gone already.

Sunn O))) performing The GrimmRobe Demos
Sunn O))) performing from Monoliths & Dimensions

Plz to add Sunn O))) to ATP New York plz plz?

That whole 'if Jabberwocky had gone ahead ATP wouldn't have survived afterwards' was probably a better option looking back.

Damn this is a car crash. I hope at least all the stand up gets bootlegged and makes extended reference to the situation

Looking at who the second tweet was made by: if Lower Slaughter are there get them to do an impromptu chalet gig... they're fucking awesome!

who oh who could have foreseen this???

Not all of them are there. But I'm sure Barn could pull something together. They'd probably pull the age range of the performers down a fair bit.

Apparently Roky Erickson band have played/are currently playing, said this onstage: "We may not see 100% eye to eye with a certain organisation. It's not been resolved. This is for you."

Seeing eye-to-eye with a two-headed dog

Yeah they're doing it alright

Mick Collins from The Gories has just put on Twitter the DLJ weekend is cancelled, then apologised because it's supposed to be embargoed till tomorrow.

why do they keep going

Tweet now deleted but not before some things were said.

fuuuuuuuuck

Statement from Drive Like Jehu:

Officially cancelled now per ATP's Facebook page.

Seems like Barry hasn't got round to telling all the artists yet:

Stuey Braithwaite is Cap'n Save-A-Barry:

stuart braithwaite stares into the distance and imagines people morally inferior to himself

*thoroughly audits self*

Whos being gleeful?

https://twitter.com/The405/status/721958317074026496

Found one.

I would still buy an ATP ticket tomorrow just because it something I want to see in the world

There should be more people like you in the world, Whiney

Incidentally can I interest you in paying me $200 for this cool festival I'm putting on? All the cool bands are playing, it'll be cool

http://inputerror.co.uk/2016/03/24/poor-barry-hogan/

please keep clodhopping drivel like that on drownedinsound where it belongs thx

I read a review on Drowned In Sound just there. They compared something favourably to Feeder. So it's still ITV's Teletext music review section in online form, then

God, Feeder! I saw a greatest hits CD in a charity shop, thought "Oh, Buck Rogers was OK" but oh! I had literally forgotten all of their hits and what they sounded like except for one. That'll show me.

You know how many hits they had?

Wrong.

Twenty five! Why?

2015 accounts pretty brutal. £16 cash in bank or at hand, £119k of creditors.

Hmm. That link isn't working properly. Click through from here.

Did they save the Iceland festival was a different company. I wonder if their accounts can be viewed?

Iceland was always underwritten by the Iceland Tourist Board iirc.

Found that story:

http://grapevine.is/news/2014/12/09/reykjanesbaer-deny-atp-festival-funding/

ATP Iceland still has the announcement that Fabio Frizzi was added to the line-up with Dirty Three as their pinned tweet.

Meanwhile Fabio Frizzi is tweeting:

It is with great regret that we have to announce the cancelation of Fabio Frizzi's upcoming dates as part of
ATP ICELAND on the 1st and 2nd of July.
We've made every effort to make this show happen, but unfortunately the lack of communication
and the failure to honour any of the agreements that we made with Barry Hogan (ATP), made it impossible for us to perform
at this year ATP ICELAND.

Jesus christ this is like the longest death scene ever filmed, will someone just put this failed endeavour out of its misery please

mass intervention for the punters necessary imo, get em out of this unhealthy relationship for everyone's sake

From Facebook:

ATP - R.I.P
It is with deep sadness we are announcing that ATP Festivals and live promotions are closing down. After months of speculation, our funding for Iceland has been pulled and we are no longer able to continue so will be closing down the entire live side of ATP festivals and live promotions with immediate effect and going into administration.

ATP Iceland festival is no longer happening, but all our other UK shows will have new promoters appointed and tickets transferred (all purchased tickets remain valid with the new promoter). We will post details of the administrators and what to do for festival ticket refunds over the next week.

We are very sorry we could not make this work and have tried to survive throughout all our recent losses but we are no longer able to trade and have to accept we cannot go on.

Thank you to all our loyal customers who have supported us and incredible artists who have performed or curated for us over the years and made ATP so special while it lasted.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Picked the right day to bury 'bad' news.

don't worry, I'm sure it's just a miscommunication

something something dickmilk something something

RIP please

I held on hope. I will miss them dearly.

I missed them dearly years ago. It's been tough waiting for the life support to be switched off.

it's sad he was a Ponzi scheme

The band I'm in played one and the experience of playing & being at the fest was awesome. Like a total mind blow. On par with when I got married and my child being born. It was that good.

The other stuff, was not.

I'm sad that they burned so many friends, both in bands and people attending fests, recently, and I'm sad to see the idea of this kind of festival end. Not as sad for the poorly managed and deceitful business practices .

RIP
