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

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

Lightning Bolt + múm = win

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?

BEAK, which is the new band featuring Geoff Barrow of Portishead, now confirmed for the Ten Years event along with The Mars Volta and Afrirampo.

omfg would you guys stop booking Edan FFS!

Maybe if you gave him some time off banging chicks at ATP he'd be able to record some new material and stop rehashing the same boring live show.

Plenty of other, better, rap you could be booking!

Yes but not much that's previously featured at ATP which is the remit of this one

Granted but I still think I'd rather see Thirstin Howl III again

"I still live with my moms" > Edan's 2 albums

so whos is actually attending 10 Years?

other than Matt DC

Us.

Thirstin Howl wrecked it at that one ATP he played but let's be honest, no-one gives a fuck about him

Yay @ "Us"! I figured you'd be doing MBV.

I'm going to the nightmare before christmas.

Despite whinging upthread I'm now going to the ten years one. Not particularly ecstatic about the lineup but I haven't been since the Thurston Moore curated one so I'm due one. The Mars Volta though - why??

strongly considering

Posting this on behalf of my flatmate. He's thinking of organising a bus from Glasgow to the Ten Years of ATP bash. It's non-profit, so will be much cheaper than the official chartered bus. He's successfully organised buses to ATP before, so I can vouch for the righteousness of this enterprise.

As some of you may know, I'm looking into organizing a bus from Glasgow to the second All Tomorrow's Parties in December, the `10 years of ATP' one. I've recently decided to go to this and, although I know there's a bus already scheduled to go from Glasgow, I've found out it's a private company that's charging more than double what we got it for per head the last time I ran the bus. I'd like to do this cheaply, and I'm sure a bunch of other folk will too, so I want to gauge possible numbers before I go about organizing it properly.

For those of you who don't know the details: I'll book a bus to run from Glasgow directly to Minehead, leaving at 3am-ish on the Friday, getting there in time for the doors opening, and it'll leave Minehead at kicking out time on the Monday, getting us back in early evening. The previous busses have been £45, then £33, then £35 (I think? perhaps £37?) per head for the return; the cost depends on how many people go, so the more the merrier. I'd need to get the money from everyone for about a month before we leave. It's a great way to get there, as it's hassle-free, without any connections or lugging luggage about, and it's cheap too.

So, if you're interested, please let me know. If you know anyone who would be interested, please share this note or forward it on to them. Any help would be appreciated.

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
