THE SKATERS

Yep....this is shaping up very nicely so far.

I've not seen two of them, but the one's I have seen are pretty neat. Especially MCIAA, who are quite, quite brilliant live.

shit, i've seen like all of them bar two... pretty predictable line up, more or less what i expected... still very tasty! skaters are totally awesome live....

mmmm, im in the process of organising getting my ticket, looks like i will probly end up going with my friend Sophia and her mate. they are both into SY and her mate has a car so it will be fun. if i definately go we should arrange a meet up.

fuck
great line-up
MCIIA
BARDO POND !!!!!!!

ahhh
i wan´t to go

have to get myself a job to be able to afford tickets and train´n stuff

Bardo Pond!
:D :D :D :D

bardo pond, jackie-o, and charlambides all rocked atp 04 if memory serves... actually, someone on this board was really desperate for charlambides to play so they'll be totally psyched! (think it may have been toxic johnny...)

woo HOO!! six organs of admittance and bardo pond are my latest aural addictions!!! THUSTON keep IT comin:)

i would love to see arthur doyle... fuck, that would make my year... any sort of free jazz performance would be most welcome... i saw corsano mcphee at subcurrent and its really opened my ears up to free jazz in ways i never thought possible...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Loren Connors performance. If I get that, then everything else will be a bonus.

Yeah, the linup is sort of predicatable in a way but so far it's very nice indeed. I dare say there will be a few obscuro treats to add to that, maybe some free jazz action, and there might even be some sort of shock mainstream-ish addition maybe. Olivia Tremor Control would be a nice surprise.

It'd be odd if it was all this sub-underground noise/drone/free-folk kind of stuff. ATP's always a mix of that and the more straightforward/rockin'/poppy kind of stuff, and I'm sure they'll FORCE Thurston into doing that this time too, whether he likes it or NOT.

he said on the BBC radio interview that it was mostly going to be experimental noise bands, whether or not he gets his way we will have to wait and see.

I guess if I could handpick a few bands to play ATP, I'd select: NNCK, Picks & Lighters, GHQ, and Jandek.

For anyone who hasn't heard the Picks & Lighters cd on ecstatic peace, do yourself a favor and get ahold of one.

ATP is 100% artist curated... previous festivals have been a mixture of underground noise and more mainstream shit due to the fact they have had more mainstream curators in the past... but this is fucking thurston ecstatic peace moore and as he stated on the BBC it's gonna be mostly harsh noise! (yes!) I would expect Bardo Pond would be as about as mainstream as it will get..

Also, it's ATP, Nightmare Before Christmas, don't forget which was previously curated by the CHapman brothers who put on Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Wolf Eyes et al...

damn, that sounds like an amazing show. I can't believe America doesn't host these kinds of shows. Very dissapointing. Fuck you, America!

yeah, but that event also had Mercury Rev, The Fall, Liars, Shellac and some others. I'm sure that at least the third day headliner will be someone a bit more "mainstream". I don't think it's entirely artist curated either: the artists are supposed to give the ATP people as big a list of desired bands as they want (probably with particular preferences), then the ATP people get choosing from that. Apparently two curators have asked for Animal Collective and have had them mysteriously vetoed by Barry and co.
