ATP 2009 - ATP vs. The Fans and The Breeders to curate

[El Jefe]

indeed. i'm seriously considering it.

yeh, but I still reckon Wayne will pick some absolute crap, bless him

 

[ethel]

i fancy a trip to NY next year anyway, i have a $300 flight voucher to use up. they are only curating one day anyway.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

They're only curating one day though - I want 'em to do a whole festie!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Sorry! Just read the post above my last one

Doesn't look too bad at first glance.

edit - oh, that would be because they're on the days the Lips aren't curating.

Ignore me.

 

[asbestos]

Got a ticket for ATP Sydney, curated by Mr Cave.

Suncream and Fuck Buttons at the ready.

 

[belboid]

three of us now have the cash to pay for a chalet, but our fourth has backed out on us, and, of course, there are no three person chalets available. grrrr.

and it seems fugazi are likely additions to the fans' weekend

Aren't they just likely to be the next band to be asked, don't know how likely it is they'll say yes.

 

[belboid]

tis info from the man who sorts out the ATP bands' visa's, so is quite plausible

 

[g force]

Yeah but they also said that about Interpol and Guided by Voices before now then realised neither could do it! However...I will ask some ATP peeps as well and see if they will spill the beans..

 

[The_Reverend_M]

As much as I'd love it to happen I seriously doubt it will

 

[Dr_Gonzo]

Well Fugazi aren't playing.

 

[Dr_Gonzo]

Got a ticket anyway, the rest of the line up is strong enough for me.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Bands being asked to play weekend 1 this week...

1 Beck
2 Harvey Milk
25 Jeffrey Lewis
50 Errors
75 Xiu Xiu
100 Parts & Labor

...not bad!

 

[MightyAphrodite]

that will probably never, eveeeeeeeeeeeeer happen.

but you never know eh.

I was gonna say something about the flaming lips curating the next ATP in NY, but i see ive been beaten to it, as usual.

I will defo go to that...i went to the one My Bloody Valentine curated and it was excellent...The Flaming Lips one will just be fuckin great...ive no doubt.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Fugaz are already listed on the ATP site as not playing

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Fugaz are already listed on the ATP site as not playing

Well, thats a surprise.



If Fugazi ever play ATP i would be well shocked...but still, you never know.


(well most people do know it aint likely ...)

 

[The_Reverend_M]

We can but pray that one day they see fit to grace us with their prescence once more.

Amen.

That's awesome, I was so surprised Xiu Xiu weren't higher up and was going to vote for them but was waiting for this round to see who'd be invited. And Parts and Labor only just didn't make it onto my list, now I don't have to feel bad

Really need some stuff that isn't just guitar based though I wan't someone like Kode 9 or High Places to mix it up a bit.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Yep, some Dubstep would go down a treat

 

[belboid]

aaah well, Fugazi were only ever a pipe dream I guess/

I'll have to vote for some practical instead. Original Dead Kennedys, maybe

 

[The_Reverend_M]

They do tour still ... just without Jello

 

[belboid]

hence the word 'original'

 

[Dr_Gonzo]

Yep, some Dubstep would go down a treat

Although I think the line up is looking great, I am genuinly surprised at the kind of bands getting lots of the votes. Do people really want to see Eels, Justice, Postal Service, !!! etc that much and not acts like The Bug who is way further down or any interesting electro or dubstep.

I guess if it's not Aphex Twin or Squarepusher the hipsters aren't that bothered.

I thought newer smaller acts like Rolo Tomassi and Dananananakroyd would be a lot higher up as well.

Hopefully the organisers might invite some more varied acts to mix it up a bit.

 

[CNT36]

I'm going to the first weekend mainly because of the Jesus Lizard though the 2nd weekends line up looks good. Both maybe I could sell an organ.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

New adds for weekend 1...

Errors
Parts & Labor
Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard
Qui



...and weekend 2...

X (original line-up)
Whispertown 2000

 

[Dr_Gonzo]

The invites that have just gone out are a bit of a joke, well maybe not a joke but too optimistic: Eels, Pavement, Killing Joke, The Mae Shi, Neutral Milk Hotel and School of Seven Bells.

Would really like Mae Shi and School of Seven Bells to play though, which is lucky because they're porbably the two most likely on that list to say yes.
