ATP festival! - Page 11

Tokolosh · 12.13.2006, 06:30 AM

Only kidding. I'll probably wear a suit that matches my mask.
Check out bodyweaver if you're interested sonicl.

Now, let's get back to the ATP topic.

gambra · 12.13.2006, 06:35 AM

I know this is my first ever post here but whatever.. To the people that were bitching about the size, the queues etc etc can they please shut the fuck up? What the hell are you taking about "populist approach" and "glastonbury unsigned tent"?? There were only 6,000 people at ATP, not the 200,000 that arrive at galstonbury.. What other festival are you going to get to see all these bands (this is just an excuse to post what I saw myself)

Friday:
Ashtray Navigations, Nurse With Wound, Hive Mind, Deerhoof, Iggy & The Stooges, Sonic Youth, Dead C

Saturday:
The New Blockaders And The Haters, The Melvins, Deerhoof (again!),Hair Police, Mats Gustaffason & EYE, Corsano/Flaherty/Yeh, 16 Bitch Pile Up, Leslie Keffer, MV/EE & The Bummer Road, Comets On Fire

Sunday:
Bark Haze, Aaron Dilloway, The Skaters, My Cat Is An Alien, Wolf Eyes, Negative Approach, Six Organs Of Admittance, No-Neck Blues Band, MC5, Sunburned Hand Of The Man

Glastonbury-lite? Yeah right..

Excellent first post!

sonicl · 12.13.2006, 06:48 AM

I think Moshe's being a bit shy... Come on Moshe, I know your ATP stories, and they need to be shared with the rest of the board...

Yes it's weird... that shot is some kind of optical illusion... if anything I've been putting on weight recently!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was taken right after NNCK so there was obviously some shape shifting going on.

Why thank you screamingskull... it's nice to know that I can still turn a head or two

I have to say that it was really, really great to meet some fellow boardies... and it was a real shame that we didn't get a chance to hang out more... (Whorefrost I hope that your journey home wasn't too nightmarish!... also I meant side C of Melbourne Direct and not side B.)

Peace and love to you all!

(fuck I've turned into a hippy now...)

I just realised sonicl reminds me of the bad guy from "roger rabbit"....argh!

sonicl · 12.13.2006, 08:06 AM

Just you wait, I'll get you...

nicfit · 12.13.2006, 08:14 AM

Okay, now this thread can go on.

Moshe · 12.13.2006, 08:21 AM

Must have been one of the best times I ever had. So many highlights I don’t know where to begin. It was really cool to meet other board members.
Sonicl – what a super cool guy. If it wasn’t for him I don’t think we would have mange to meet each other. Thanks for everything.
Greenlight – you wouldn’t believe how much this guy eats and still stays thin
Tris 1979 – well, you don’t snore but you do speak in your sleep. Too bad I can’t understand French
John boy –Thanks for financing the first word of my book
The rest of the guys seem so nice: Pokkeherrie,Toilet, Nefeli, Whorefrost, o o o, Bastian,Toxic Johnny,Naomi, Jennthebenn,Pantophobia, Iain and simpsonic.
I wish I had more time to speak with you. Maybe we could do that in the forthcoming Ecstatic ATPeace (2007 U.S. or Japan)?

One other boardie I was really happy to meet was Lee is Free. He managed to get me a backstage pass. While the others where waiting in long lines I was chatting with Deerhoof (cool guys), Nels Cline ( a big SY fan who was so happy to hear candle) and with the sonic dudes.
It was so cool sitting next to Kim on the side of the stage watching the Dinosaur gig. She seemed to enjoy it so much. I think that the Dino/ Lee collaboration was a last minute thing. Saw Lee and Lou talking about it a few moments before the show started. Maybe it was some inside joke (Lee was laughing about it). I was feeling like a teenage groupie but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Sonicl and I met Steve and Lee a couple of time and they were so friendly. They laughed when I told them I know the sonic youth news before they do. They said they know it all but they can spread the word like I can before it is all confirmed.
As for sonic news, we got this info: Steve is working hard on the DDN deluxe edition and there are early plans to release a soundtracks box set. The sub pop single never happened. Steve “accused” me of National Inquirer reporting .

Music highlights: The Stooges (twice), SY (twice) –second show was way better, Ibold told me they felt a little rusty for the first show, seemed to me that Thurston was too excited from the whole thing. Dead C were great but too long for that time of the night. other great acts: Deerhoof, Wolf eyes, Corsano/falherty/Yeah, Gustafson/Eye, Dino Jr. (twice), Bark haze and sunburned which were a perfect way to end the festival.

sonicl · 12.13.2006, 08:26 AM

At last!!!

But I can't believe you missed the bit of news that Steve told about joining Melvins...

that reminded me, there was one guy who had a handlebar moustache and looked like a member of an emo band

well at times Barry Hogan can be a little over ambitious, in choosing certain acts on some stages, Deerhoof was a big suprise with that line

just weird math at times, 6000 people, 2800 capcity main stage, non-wristband specific bands like Dinosaur, Gang of Four

but he pulled it off and deerhoof, dinosaur, melvins and gang of four all had second sets, and thats the point

sonicl · 12.13.2006, 09:40 AM

My only disappointment of the whole weekend was being unable to see Bardo Pond. Perhaps some sort of official wristband exchange system could have been set up so that people could know where to find people who wanted to swap.

Apart from that, no complaints at all.

A Thousand Threads · 12.13.2006, 09:52 AM

wow
you guys seem to have had so much fun
wish i could have been there too.

A Thousand Threads · 12.13.2006, 10:00 AM

^this was the "envious" post
now the angry one -
a big BOOHH to all you atp-fuckers who bought all the Bardo Pond - Ticket Crystals CDs and LPs,
they haven´t had any left in Brussels

sonicl · 12.13.2006, 10:04 AM

It wasn't me. I bought a Clint Takeda CDR.

Well, he said it is not official and it is only for the melvins spring tour.
I didn't understand if they going to have 3 drummers on the stage or he is going to replace one of the drummers.

sonicl · 12.13.2006, 10:09 AM

He was talking about stages having to be strengthened, so I assumed it was going to be three drummers.
