The latest addition to the September 20th lineup curated by ATP are Newtown, Connecticut's APSE.

Apse are set to re-issue their stunning Spirit LP on our own ATP Recordings label very soon, and we're pleased to be able to bring such a great band to the New York festival.

So any word on who is actually in the lineup of the band?

Kevin Shields & most of the members of Gene

Shieldsy and the bassist from reformed texas band called Complete.
Additional guitar is going to be a sweet contribution from the original axe slayer from Pillsbury Hardcore.
Ringo is on drummings

Kevin Shields & most of the members of Gene

"Sleep well tonight
For tomorrow we die
At the hands of Ned
Oh fuck."

Has anyone that's going to the Glasgow gigs received their tickets yet? They're cutting it pretty fine.

Hey, Leigh, which night are you going to?

(cannot help re ticket arrival as someone else is getting mine for me, but can find out, I guess)

I'm going to the first night on 2nd July.

Ah, there's a crowd of us going on the 3rd. Still no idea if my tickets have materialised either.

This whole tour has become some sort of action/thriller movie.

(lol irony, given the movie of the same name as the band)

The line up is: Kevin, Bilinda, Deb and Colm.

Shieldsy and the bassist from reformed texas band called Complete.

dream line-up

So Colm really is on board, Steve? Interesting!

i wanna go!

Where was it ever implied that Colm was not on board?

Quite honestly I was under the impression you said he wasn't, but my brain is notoriously soft these days.

someone here said he may not be but it seemed baseless speculation based on his living in the US

Noooooooooo, someone said he was living in the bay area but that wasn't true at that moment as he was in LA. But he's definitely playing the drums for MBV.

Clarity and thanks. Well, that's good then!

well that was good. it sounded like a cross between elephants and planes.

I wondered if someone on here went tonight. So...?

Yay elephants and planes!

Anyway, setlist or whatever?

setlist here if you wanna ruin the surprise. i would heartily endorse waiting for the added thrill of omg they're playing ___.

also, none of them have aged.

I peeked. Mainly wondered if they'd play any of the pre-YMMR stuff, doubted they would but y'know. I've been out tonight so probably won't remember the setlist tomorrow anyway. What was that about blackouts?

i have no idea what blackouts are/were/refers to but they didn't seem to figure? it was pretty great ... i forgot what a super thrashy guitar band they are. so sweet on uhhh the fifth song, too.

Oh never mind, I was making an oblique reference to an ILE thread from a few days. xpost

SPOILERZ :D

Oh god, that is a monster set! Although, pretty much any combination of songs from anything after Ecstasy and Wine would make me say that.

Hahaha, figures -- it's almost the same setlist as last time around, just reordered.

"So this is the third leg of the Loveless tour..."

i thought of this whenever someone hit me in the face with a camera

"You Made Me Realize" crowd reaction 1992: "HOLYFUCKINGSHITITSSOLOUDICANTMOVETHINKGAARRAAGGHH"
"You Made Me Realize" crowd reaction 2008: "Dude it's the part where it gets loud and crazy! I'm going to blog about all this via my iPhone. OK, I'm going to go get a beer"

it was at the ica, which is a nice cultural events venue in london, and the crowd were pretty snappily dressed. that's not a bad thing or anything, it's just like the jamc thing of the audience being pretty different.

Oh god, that is a monster set! Although, pretty much any combination of songs from anything after Ecstasy and Wine would make me say that.

THIS ^^^^^^

( i wonder if they're gonna do the same setlist the whole tour? did they switch it up in 1991-92 ? )

interesting they're playing 4 of 5 tracks from the YMMR EP. and only 5 out of 11 songs from Loveless (two of which overlap with EPs prior). no "Sometimes" is surprising to me. ah well, great show anyway i'm sure.

i especially miss "Loomer" and "Come In Alone" on the setlist there

might i add before i stop posting: i'm burning this setlist to a CDR right now. gotta listen to it sequenced properly. will report back soon. (anyone else doing the same?)

((( six tracks from Loveless it looks like, not five, sorry )))

I'd love to hear "What You Want", bootlegged. If this ever happens, please notify me here. I don't need the link, I'll find that myself.

Also, if anyone can bring over a new bag of coffee, I'd appreciate it, I'm running low. Thanks guys.

The only notable difference is a little less Isn't Anything than in 91-92, but that's made up for in the EP B-sides.

Well, at least the wondering is over, for better or worse.

And glad to see that they kept "Honey Power"... the song that should have been on Loveless and a hit but wasn't... sorta.

"Honey Power" roooooooolz

so how long do i have to wait for a boot of this gig

glad to see they haven't done anything productive in 16 years!

one word, Curt1s:
