ATP New York 2010

[TallGuyCM]

9 american certainly includes canada. hellooooo east coast.

I dunno...if they had said "North American" then yeah. But usually if they just say "American" they're talking about the U.S.

At the same time, it'd be weird if they didn't do the whole Montreal-Toronto etc. circuit.

[Courtney]

maybe the reason the "bigger" announcement had to be postponed was because they wanted to announce them as the nightmare curator... i can dream right?

A hearty "yes, please" from ATP's Pacific Fan Club division

[bmack86]

maybe the reason the "bigger" announcement had to be postponed was because they wanted to announce them as the nightmare curator... i can dream right?

That was my thought.

[dorkfish]

I doubt Godspeed will ever play again.
I should doubt things more often.

[MrAmeche]

pretty sure godspeed will never happen again.
Look at Jamie being all coy :)

[dorkfish]

If I was a betting man, I would have put way more money on "never again" than these shows being announced.

[Icemouse]

ATP bringing back GY!BE has caused so much buzz, i can't handle all of this. how do you guys keep this all so silent

[Tylerdurden31]

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

if Godspeed play ATP NY and announce no SF dates. I'll be there with bells on.

[sonofhal]

Get your asses over to a freezing cold English Dec ATP pronto.

[ken516]

I feel less cool for not knowing who Godspeed You! Black Emperor are... :(
What should I check out first?

[Icemouse]

they're pretty much the shining gem of post-rock, the fundamental creators of the movement, and a band whose quality was never matched.

Slow Riot for new Zero Kanada
Lift Your Fists
F# A# inf

honestly though to get the full effect on first listen turn off all the lights in your room and listen to "Dead Flag Blues" off of F# A#

[wmgaretjax]

the fundamental creators of the movement

Stereolab? Bark Psychosis?

[andymcdandy]

It would be awesome if Godspeed would play ATP this year, but I just don't think that will happen. Maybe next?

[kitt kat]

Yeah, I've never listened to Godspeed. I remember them being around and I thought they were like, a metal band --- this is before Wikipedia, ok?

But I think people in this thread know my taste. If it's something you think I'd be down with, holler.

[Birds vs Worms]

so we should expect another announcement regarding lineup additions at the end of this month or early may? i need to know who else is playing

[TallGuyCM]

But I think people in this thread know my taste. If it's something you think I'd be down with, holler.

Even thought I haven't seen you talk much about post-rock bands in the past, you seem to appreciate good music. Which means you'll undoubtedly like Godspeed. Check out Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, and make sure you've got a good few hours to listen to it in its entirety.

[orbit]

just check slow riot for new zero kanada. one of the best eps you'll ever listen.

[dorkfish]

Jesse Sykes will be attending to perform Altar with Boris/Sunn O)))

[stinkbutt]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!!!?!!??!??!

Fuck Yes!

[dorkfish]

Yeah, that's way better (and more plausible) than having Hope Sandoval doing "Sinking Belle"

[wmgaretjax]

FUUUUUUUUCK YESSSSS!!!!!

[MrAmeche]

great find, and great news.

[Icemouse]

Wonder if Jesse & The Sweet Hereafter are playing as well then?? I hope

[dorkfish]

Wonder if Jesse & The Sweet Hereafter are playing as well then?? I hope
doesn't seem like it even though she and Bill will both be there.

[dorkfish]

Atlas Sound just add a random far off date in North Carolina. Maybe Bradford wants a do over set?

09/10 - Raleigh, NC @ the Pour House

oh it's for that Hopscotch Fest. Still plausible, though.

[TallGuyCM]

I'm all for Bradford being there in any way, shape or form.

[wmgaretjax]

ditto.

[J~$$$$]

Yup. Yup. yup. I am buying my ticket next week. There is no way im missing Iggy in that small of a venue. Its done I have made up my mind even if rolling solo.

[wmgaretjax]

So Panda Bear and Broken Social Scene are playing North Carolina that same weekend in September Brad. Both should play atp ny.

[bmack86]

okay, just those two would have me flipping my lid again.

[kitt kat]

return of pandaaaaa

[wmgaretjax]

those two would put it way over the top.

[SoulDischarge]

Or just, you know, see them at Pitchfork.

[wmgaretjax]

with a ridiculous amount of people in the heat on mediocre PAs? nah thanks.

[kitt kat]

Panda in the Starlight Ballroom once more would be nice. But that moment --- it'll never happen again.

[wmgaretjax]

yeah. that was pretty unbelievable. it'd be a whole new set this time though wouldn't it? Other than those one or two new songs he played?

[Icemouse]

NY needs some love.. How about an announcement for an announcement?

[Birds vs Worms]

NY needs some love.. How about an announcement for an announcement?

pleeeease

[kitt kat]

I still want my Raincoats do the Raincoats :(

Or...the Vaselines would be very nice. How can I get hold of JJ and tell him how to "curate" his day?

[dorkfish]

well, the Vaselines and Raincoats could go on the "friends" day, at well.

Hell, either could go on the Don't Look Back albums, day, too.

[whiney]

pleeeease

dude u clearly want to go, just buy a ticket, sheesh

[Birds vs Worms]

already bought my ticket when they announced sleep. i just want to know who else is playing

[bmack86]

[chiapet]

Well, I'm definitely out (not that I'd gotten tickets). Doing Glasto & Roskilde instead.

[wmgaretjax]

talk about polar festival experiences...

[chiapet]

I know. But Prince????
I'm already thinking of abandoning you lot to hang out on the Roskilde board for the next 2 months rambling about Prince. After this week, I may have the highest post count on their board, hehehe.

ATP is still one of the best weekends of my life, but that lineup was tailor made for me (thanks for that, Kevin) and I don't really want to go back until there is another lineup that I'm just as into. Does that make sense? Anything less than perfect might diminish the glory of the first year.

[MrAmeche]

Gotta say, musically speaking, I enjoyed the second ATP NY more than the first. Didn't look like it on paper, but it ended up that way for me.

[mountmccabe]

I honestly can't remember if I have bought a ticket for this or not. I guess I need to search my email? I wanna get this taken care of.


EDIT: And the answer is yes, back in February. I honestly just said to myself, ooh, I should buy a ticket now and almost just went ahead and did it.

[Courtney]

Ha, John.

Also I would be most definitely OK with the Vaselines and Raincoats. Just saying.

[Birds vs Worms]

vaselines and raincoats would definitely be a nice addition
i want tim & eric friday
spiritualized and om saturday
earth and grails on sunday

[miscorrections]

Yes to all of the above.

I just ordered Megabus tickets from Pittsburgh to NYC and back for $1 each way, plus a $0.50 booking fee. In May, they're supposed to add a route from Chicago to Pittsburgh, so I'll order those as soon as they go up. Total ATP travel costs: $5!

[Courtney]

I'm impressed. My total travel costs will be $10.90 for a frequent flyer miles booking charge + whatever gas ends up costing for my friend's friend's car.

Megabus rules all.

[bmack86]

Travel's the only part I've not paid for yet. Think I've gotta wait til I know my school schedule for next year.

Wait, what the fuck, are you going to this? Please tell me you are.

[wmgaretjax]

Travel's the only part I've not paid for yet. Think I've gotta wait til I know my school schedule for next year.

ditto. this may have to be a last minute booking, what with all the interviewing and such that will probably be going at this point.

[SoulDischarge]

Wait, what the fuck, are you going to this? Please tell me you are.

I don't have a ticket yet, but I've got a job and 4 months to pull it together, so I'm dead set on making it. Knowing I can pretty much make it there without worrying about money for a flight really helps too. So yes, I'm going.

[dorkfish]

grinderman would be brilliant.
new album in september, tour in november, according to billions. still technically possible, though.

[miscorrections]

Yeah, I still haven't booked a flight. Waiting for prices to come down to reasonable levels.

[kitt kat]

I haven't bought anything.

I need a job :(

[kitt kat]

$400 round trip!?!?! wtf is this bullshit? i can usually get round trip to jfk from lax for $200 or less :(

[Courtney]

Sign up for a fare alert. It will probably drop at some point.

[TallGuyCM]

$400 round trip!?!?! wtf is this bullshit? i can usually get round trip to jfk from lax for $200 or less :(

It's because you're flying in and out Labor Day weekend.

[suprefan]

This, and..


$400 round trip!?!?! wtf is this bullshit? i can usually get round trip to jfk from lax for $200 or less :(


You do understand that airlines lowered the number of departures each day this year right? So, they gotta make their money back in one way or another, and that includes raising fares.

[Courtney]

Oh yeah holiday weekend, that too. Good point.

But Bing.com (I hate that website) says they are 93% confident that airfares will drop. So I still say wait.

[kitt kat]

well yeah, i figured that. but it's not like i'm flying from buttfuck michigan or something. lax > jkf is a very standard, business-frequented flight. the fares are often low. never seen them this high.

[Birds vs Worms]

Thread reminded me to start looking into booking my flight soon. I just got done signing up for a bunch of different fare alerts. Hopefully something cheaper pops up.

where's jaime been at?

[Boourns]

I've flown from New York to LA for $100 one way, but they wanted to rape me for over $400 for All Points West, which is why I didn't go.

This year for Coachella, airfare from ORF->LAX was under $100 to get there and $140 to return, luckily.

[andymcdandy]

I am ready for a new batch of adds!!! I found the Japanese version of Altar on vinyl at our local store. I'm loving it.

[send me ctrpllrs]

I am fine with the next adds still be a bit off, I haven't had to time to check out most of the other stuff.

Listening now to The Books' Thought for Food for the first time and I love it. Wonderful mix of sounds and strange samples. Very excited about them now and I'm not even finished with the first album.

[andymcdandy]

I wish more than anything that HEALTH will be there!

[jamie_atp]

yo. We're very busy right now prepping for the may atp festivals so i wouldn't think we'll be doing a new NY announcement probably until near the end of the month at the earliest.

[TallGuyCM]

Good to know that at least, thanks!

[kitt kat]

Gives me enough time to find a job post-graduation...

[Courtney]

Thanks for the info Jamie! Don't have too much fun at The Groening and Pavement weekends and Primavera (lucky bastards).

[andymcdandy]

Oh how i wish i lived in europa in may.

[jamie_atp]

By the way we only have literally one or two of the 3 person rooms at the Raleigh left, and then its just the 4 person ones left.

[andymcdandy]

Not too long ago, there was a discussion about Emeralds. I am LOVING their new album. Absolutely amazing and mellow. Thanks for the heads up on this awesome band

Interesting. Timbre Timbre above HEALTH?
It's a SXSW knock off so HEALTH might be opening for someone and Timbre Timbre might be headlining a small show. Who knows how they do billing when there's (just guessing) 500-1000 bands.

[Birds vs Worms]

that stooges video is good

anybody know what's the capacity of the two stages at kutsher's? also wondering how many people are in attendance for each day?

[dorkfish]

Max Number of People for an Event: 4250

but I seem to remember capacity being capped at 2800

[MrAmeche]

I thought I remembered seeing a fest cap of 3,000 somewhere.

everyone can fit in the big room, I believe (ie MBV, Lips) and I don't recall seeing the second room ever get to capacity.

[dorkfish]

Last year, the 2nd room probably got most full for No Age and Bob Mould, but we were up front, so I'm not a good judge of that.

[wmgaretjax]

Last year, the 2nd room probably got most full for No Age and Bob Mould, but we were up front, so I'm not a good judge of that.

even then, there was plenty of wiggle room. not crammed at all.

[dorkfish]

I showed up 5 minutes last to Boris and walked my way to about 5 people deep from the stage.

Hopewell played for about 15 people. 2nd stage was pretty awesome (although fairly segregated).

I really hope that someone plays in the Oneida room.

[Courtney]

Geez I love this festival so much. Thank you ATP for showing other festivals how to do.

I was talking to my mother yesterday and mentioned that I'm traveling in September, and she asked why and I told her Iggy & The Stooges performing Raw Power, and now MY MOTHER WANTS TO COME TO ATP.

[CellarOwl]

Unlike ATP, it should be noted that Iggy & The Stooges are playing Raw Power in Toronto for FREE.

[miscorrections]

Your mom and Zack's mom should hang out.

[MrAmeche]

second room gets pretty crowded for comedy, but that's just because of all the chairs taking up space. speaking of which, is there comedy this time? I personally wouldn't miss it.

[Courtney]

Instant mom BFFs.

[dorkfish]

is there comedy this time? I personally wouldn't miss it.
yes, but it hasn't been announced yet

[Birds vs Worms]

i'd love to see tim & eric take over the comedy stage and get brule and dunn and the rest of the gang to come up with them

[wmgaretjax]

tim and eric would be great.

[Birds vs Worms]

oh, i just saw that the gories are playing shows again. you guys like the gories? i like the gories

[heart cooks brain]

i like your name

[SoulDischarge]

Man or Astro-Man? please.

[Mr. Fuzz]

syperOur6aI

gimme some skin! i guess this vid means they are playing more than just raw power.

[Courtney]

Guys. I'm going to be going INSANE at that set. Warning you now.

[whiney]

Hopewell played for about 15 people.

It was even more dire for Low Lows.

[MrAmeche]

It was even more dire for Low Lows.
I'm honestly shocked even one person wasn't at Boredoms ...

[whiney]

I'm honestly shocked even one person wasn't at Boredoms ...

ha, i ambled over there after boredoms were finished. certainly was not the best time for those dudes.

[wmgaretjax]

Swans 10/8 in NYC. is that close enough? please?

[bmack86]

Swans would be such good news.

[sonofhal]

syperOur6aI

That was from the night I went. Epic show. He threw the mic stand during the first track and nearly decapitated the sax player.

[dorkfish]

so the only known Swans tour dates are

10/08 - Brooklyn Masonic Temple
10/22-24 - Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, UK

?

[mountmccabe]

everyone can fit in the big room, I believe (ie MBV, Lips) and I don't recall seeing the second room ever get to capacity.

I rarely tried to help fill the 2nd room to capacity because of the bad sound if you weren't front and/or centered. The slap back was ugly and distracting. I wanted to see Atlas Sound but only stuck around for a few songs and even then mostly sat a ways back with people.

For the three sets I saw there from the rail and/or one person back - Circulatory System, Boris, No Age w/Bob Mould - everything was great. Oh, wait, I also saw Ak-Ak from frontish centerish but not on the rail; that was great, too. In part because the crowd was way into it.



Hopewell played for about 15 people. 2nd stage was pretty awesome (although fairly segregated).

I really hope that someone plays in the Oneida room.

Oh, how I wanted to see Hopewell again. They and Panda Bear were my two biggest schedule-related losses.

[chiapet]

There was something a little amusing though with the chandeliers vibrating and ceiling rattling through a set. Though the sound was awful from 1/2 way back as you said.

I don't know if it's changed in audience since the first year or with the lineup/curator, but it couldn't have been easier to get a spot at the rail in the 2nd stage. People being standoffish or something.

[chiapet]

Also I miss this and wish I were going this year :(

[Mr. Fuzz]

awe..that looks awesome

[Icemouse]

Now we sit and watch as reviews of how amazing Groening ATP was start rolling in

[dorkfish]

more Swans tour dates. still technically possible, but I wish that there were better evidence:

09-28 Philadelphia, PA - Trocadero Theater
09-29 Washington, DC - Black Cat
09-30 Boston, MA - Middle East
10-01 Montreal, Quebec - Pop Montreal Festival
10-02 Toronto, Ontario - Lee's Palace
10-04 Detroit, MI - Crofoot Ballroom
10-05 Chicago, IL - Bottom Lounge
10-08 Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn Masonic Temple
10-09 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom
10-22-24 Birmingham, England - Supersonic Festival

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I want them to bring Marshall Allen back and have him play sax for Fun House songs during Iggy's set.

[kitt kat]

Ughhh, I need to get a ticket/somewhere to stay :(

Interesting. Where to?

[Birds vs Worms]

seeing as there will probably be an announcement regarding the lineup after the pavement atp this weekend, what do you guys want to see added? i think i remember hearing about a show that fucked up played in nyc for something like 24 hours straight. would be cool if they did something like what oneida did last year. misfits and black flag covers. ghost and method should be added to raekwon. comets on fire or six organs would fit well with the sunday lineup. grails, earth, and om should also play sunday

[Icemouse]

Still waiting for a lot of the stuff I posted in my original list, namely Spiritualized doing Ladies & Gentlemen, Gang of Four doing Entertainment!, Wolf Eyes, Shellac, fursaxa

Where would the second stage get moved to? I'm trying to think of another room large enough... One of my favorite things about ATPNY is that I can go from one stage to another in less than a song's time. Also I feel like the oneida bar would die if there was nothing to draw people over that way

[Pastor Irrelevant]

I want the Bevis Frond!!

[marcosminute]

there are bands playing moe.down in New York the same weekend as this, I probably wouldn't be too surprised if some of them (namely Built to Spill and maybe The Black Keys) played ATP as well.

and my interest is extremely peaked regarding where the second stage will be.

[Icemouse]

Also a newly freed Gucci Mane headlining Sunday??

[miscorrections]

DO I NEED TO DO THE PEAKED TUTORIAL IN EVERY THREAD?

Your interest is not a mountain. It cannot be peaked in the adjective sense of the word. You could say, "my interest has peaked," if your interest is at its highest level. Or you could say "my interest is piqued".

This peaked/piqued thing is going to give me an aneurysm.

Or worse.

[Courtney]

Hahahahaaha.

I hope ATP digs an outdoor ampitheatre for Stage 2. And then bribes the gods into preventing rain.

[rskapcat]

I hope it's less rainy than last year. It was a little unnerving to eat at the food court and wonder if the tarp was going to burst over my head.

[dorkfish]

I just relented and allowed it to drip on my head.

[miscorrections]

I hope it's like 2008 again, the weather was perfect all weekend.

[dorkfish]

I would enjoy perfect weather just so I can explore the place better.

[miscorrections]

Brad you think you're going to explore but then you wake up late and hungover and go out to the diner and come back and it's music time.

[Courtney]

I just want Stage 2 to have an incline of some sort for the shorties amongst us. But I don't think Kutshers has anything like that.

Did anyone actually see inside the skating rink?

And yeah, I'm going to buy snacks and forgo the food court entirely if it rains again. Granola bars and massive bags full of apples, here I come.

[rskapcat]

Skipping the food court would have meant skipping cold sesame noodles and ridiculously good oatmeal raisin cookies, though. I risked the exploding tarp for that.

[miscorrections]

And Asia Dogs! Mmmm, Asia Dogs.

[Courtney]

WAIT: Maybe if they're moving Stage 2, then its former location can be turned back into a dining facility. Yes? YES?

[Icemouse]

I would be shocked if stage 2 moved outside. too much work, too much planning, and it being outdoors just wouldn't be as good, especially during the day. not a big fan of that idea

[whiney]

i was kind of thinking how nice it would be to have like James Blackshaw or someone play by the lake. Or in that outdoor pool with no water in it.

[wmgaretjax]

Awesome that they are moving stage two. Anything they'd choose would probably be a step up from that ricochet chamber. I'm really excited for additions.... Still hoping for Tom Waits. But I'd be overjoyed with a lot less...

[Icemouse]

Also from the ATP NY FAQ

What happens if it rains?

All ATP New York performances take place indoors in intimate venues with fantastic sound systems so there's no chance of us being rained off.

[bmack86]

So, Hey, Y'all should really bring the Clean and the 3Ds over to the US. And get the Chills while you're at it. We could have ourselves a right Kiwi jump off.

[jamie_atp]

We wouldnt move it outside.

If i had to pick a few bands from the groening lineup for NY it would probably be Konono No1, Ponytail and The Tiger Lillies. but bear in mind i have no say in the line-up so i'm not hinting at anything.

[whiney]

Konono would be bangin'.

Jarmusch is a huge fan of Ethiopian jazz kingpin Mulatu Astatke (his sounds are all over Broken Flowers), so I keep hoping he'll be announced...

[bmack86]

I would enjoy perfect weather just so I can explore the place better.

Mike and I did this in 2008. We were both getting up early every day, so we wandered around and saw quite a bit of Kutchers. It's a hell of a place.

[dorkfish]

Man, after hearing the new Aphex Twin stuff on YouTube, I hope that he's interested in playing the Catskills

PnVRp6SXSk4

[Still-ill]

Holy shit. That's nice.

OMG THIS IS TOO AMAZING. I want to see the whole thing (AKA: Panda Bear bro as Simpsons character, Raincoats too)


And Asia Dogs! Mmmm, Asia Dogs.

All my cash went to beer and Asia dogs. I dream about those ALL THE TIME because THEY WERE SO GOOD. I probably wasted a lot of money on them (ie buying two in a row) but I DID bring in Cheeze Its (and my own beer) some days...That's being frugal enough for me.

I bet you they're moving the stage because of the chandelier fiasco during BMSR...That shit was scary. I thought I had glass in my head all day :( Skating Rink would be rad! (Can it be a rollerdisco, though, Jamie?)

[dorkfish]

He did one of Sonic Youth awhile ago for an ATP compilation:

[wmgaretjax]

Burning Star Core, Broken Social Scene, Ben Frost, Locrian, Panda Bear, SIghtings, Washed Out, WOods and Keith Fullerton Whitman please.

[dorkfish]

I would also enjoy seeing Double Dagger

[wmgaretjax]

Will we get a chance to see Emeralds live for ourselves first-hand in Europe this year?

Mark: “We’ll have a number of festival one-off performances in the second half of the year.”

Hey ATP... If you haven't. Do it.

[TallGuyCM]

Seconded for Emeralds. And thirded. And fourthed.

[wmgaretjax]

They are obviously cool with one offs... and I can't imagine them being that expensive...

[TallGuyCM]

Yeah. And there are a good amount of people who would be excited about them being there.

[MrAmeche]

Absolutely, Emeralds really needs to be involved in this

[dorkfish]

I suspect that ATP don't know of Emeralds.

[dorkfish]

Also, wouldn't it be sad if ATP threw the Coachella board attendees a bone and booked Emeralds, but went with the droning metal band of the same name?

[Still-ill]

That would be a hilarious coincidence.

[stinkbutt]

I thought that was the band you guys are talking about.

[wmgaretjax]

Also, wouldn't it be sad if ATP threw the Coachella board attendees a bone and booked Emeralds, but went with the droning metal band of the same name?

The Seattle band? They are pretty solid. Although I went to 3 shows in Seattle thinking Emeralds was the Ohio band... And it only was one of those times.

[miscorrections]

Yeah the metal band is pretty good.

[stinkbutt]

So who is the other band then? I've only heard the metal band, who I think are pretty good

[MrAmeche]

I suspect that ATP don't know of Emeralds.
I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't. I seem to remember them being rumored for one of the upcoming UK fests somewhere.

[wmgaretjax]

So who is the other band then? I've only heard the metal band, who I think are pretty good

Synth trio from cleveland. They are really fantastic. Their new album this year is a bunch of shorter songs, but typically in the past they'd done sidelong efforts. What Happened, Emeralds, Allegory of Allergies, and the new one Does It Look Like I'm Here are the highlights.

I'm sure the folks at ATP are aware of who they are... I'd be surprised...

[dorkfish]

these guys:

syDs9whZsr0

[MrAmeche]

While we're talking Emeralds, I just gotta say "Genetic" on the new album is fantastic.

[mountmccabe]

Although I went to 3 shows in Seattle thinking Emeralds was the Ohio band... And it only was one of those times.

Hahaha. This is awesome.

[dorkfish]

The ATP email said that lineup announcements are coming soon, so that's something.

[Icemouse]

Feed my japanese-noise-rock-aphillia, bring melt-banana!

[send me ctrpllrs]

Finally got around to listening to the new Emeralds yesterday, that is a wonderful album upon first listen. Definitely need more time with it though. I've only listened to one oother album of theirs, one time. Would love to see them at ATP. I think I first checked them out around Coachella time though, so that's why I haven't listened more.

Lineup additions soon is good news, I'm finally starting to get impatient for more haha.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

A combination of school and work obligations are conspiring to prevent me from attending all three days of ATP 2010. I'm banking on Friday for sure at this point, trying to wrangle Saturday still. Argh, that's the negatives of having to plan so far in advance, you never know when your circumstances will change.

[Icemouse]

It's (actually) on labor day weekend, you should have Monday off of work and school... This year is the easiest yet imo

[Icemouse]

Also I think it's safe to assume that Shellac hasn't been announced because Big Black is going to play instead, right? :)

[Birds vs Worms]

can we get an announcement on an announcement?

[miscorrections]

They're probably quite busy with their involvement in Primavera right now.

[Birds vs Worms]

oh yeah
is that this week?

[miscorrections]

27th-29th. I imagine once that all ends we'll hear something.

[Birds vs Worms]

alright then
see you guys next week

[liquidsnake28]

I'm seeing Thee Silver Mount Zion tonight. I'll try to ask them about Godspeed at ATP.

[wmgaretjax]

Grinderman plays Euro shows in late September. They'd fit in on Saturday. I'd be ecstatic.

[dorkfish]

Grinderman plays Euro shows in late September. They'd fit in on Saturday. I'd be ecstatic.
They're supposedly touring in the US in November, but a one-off before Europe would be great.

[TallGuyCM]

I'm seeing Thee Silver Mount Zion tonight. I'll try to ask them about Godspeed at ATP.

Oh god (no pun intended) if GYBE was added, ATP would sell out instantly.

[liquidsnake28]

So that show was fucking awesome. That was one of the best shows I've eve seen there (Southgatehouse) and I've seen several great ones there. They were hesitant to answer any questions about ATP or Godspeed in genneral. Between every song there was a short little Q and A session. That was a fucking great show.

[itsallgonnabreak]

According to Brooklyn Vegan today re: Belle and Sebastian

"with more shows being added all the time, we thought it timely to offer an update on this year's touring calendar. It's beginning to look like a pretty busy year and we still have more shows up our sleeve...

For various reasons we cannot announce all the shows at the one time, but (all going to plan) in addition to these listed below we will be squeezing in shows in Canada, Mexico and the USA as well as a trip to South America between now and the end of the year. Of course we will also have some more European festivals and a few UK shows to announce later in the year too..."

Could a Saturday appearance be possible!?

[whiney]

ugh

[bmack86]

I'd love to see Belle and Sebastian there.

[rskapcat]

I would make it my mission to hug Stuart.

[miscorrections]

I would love it if they showed up. I've always missed them for various reasons and they're one of my iconic bands.

[wmgaretjax]

i'd be in.

[bmack86]

They're so much fun live. And really charming and nice people the two times I briefly spoke with the bandmembers.

[rskapcat]

I would love it if they showed up. I've always missed them for various reasons and they're one of my iconic bands.

Same here.

[send me ctrpllrs]

I doubt we'd get Belle & Sebastian because of their own ATP, but it would be nice.

My friend and I have had our 6 person room for quite some time now, but with only the 2 of us having bought our tickets. I gave up on some of my friends, thus Chris(tallguy) will get one of the spots. Two more of my friends bought theirs today though, just need one more to fill. Another friend will be trying to join, I'll come to the board first if I need to fill it though.

[dorkfish]

Silver Mt Zion add a date in Mexico on 9/30, so I bet that we don't see Godspeed playing a show while they're still touring. Maybe we'll get Silver Mt Zion, though.

[wmgaretjax]

all for that add as well.

[liquidsnake28]

Oops, I was far from sober after the show last night when I posted so some of that didn't make sense. I was just really excited because it was such a great show.

After the first song Efferim asks if anyone has any questions and I put my hand up, he nods to me and I ask if they're playing ATP. Before he can even answer somebody else yells out another question about Godspeed without raising his hand so Efferim shakes his head and says he's not answering any questions about Godspeed tonight because it's a different band (even though 3/5 of the band is also in godspeed.) I wanted to ask if Thee Silver Mount Zion will be playing ATP but I didn't get another chance. After the show I talked to Dave (the drummer) and he said he really doesn't have any idea if any of them are going to be involved with ATP this year or not.

[dorkfish]

remember the setlist, at all?

[liquidsnake28]

No, I'm not familiar enough with them.

[TallGuyCM]

My friend and I have had our 6 person room for quite some time now, but with only the 2 of us having bought our tickets. I gave up on some of my friends, thus Chris(tallguy) will get one of the spots.

:thu :thu :thu

I'm so looking forward to this.

[cs5000]

Read this thread a few times, had to wait a while to enable posting. I'm a fan of speculation so here goes . . .

Bands touring nearby and ATP "friendly"

the week before :

LouFest, Louisville
Built to Spill, Broken Social Scene, She & Him, Jeff Tweedy, Titus Andronicus (maybe for Jarmusch and Fucked Up/Vivian Girls connection)

Rock The Bells, New York
Wu-Tang Performing 36 Chambers (maybe Friday night or other Wu members for Sunday)

Rangda (playing Knitting factory Aug 27)
Mix of ATP favourites, could be interesting

The weekend of:

Moe.Down, Mohawk New York w/ Tortoise already so no worry of exclusivity
Built to Spill (seem like a guarantee add), Black Keys (don't seem to fit but maybe)

Bumbershoot, Seattle
No one announced yet, but likely anyone playing this will have difficulties getting to NY

Others to count out already playing in Europe:
Modest Mouse, LCD Soundsystem, the National

The Week after:

Hopscoth festival, Raleigh already w/ Tortoise, Fucked Up, and Sleepy Sun

Panda Bear (don't know how this would fit having played last year), Broken Social Scene (lots of shows around NY area for the month), Public Enemy, No Age and Atlas Sound (last seen at ATP NY playing a song with Jarmusch), Marissa Nadler, Harvey Milk (I really wanted them added to the previous years), Akron/Family, and Kylesa

Dirty Projectors (Playing Terminal 5 Sept 11)

Aziz Anzari (Playing Town Hall Sept 16, maybe host for comedy but not likely)


And finally, my unlikely but possible choices that would be awesome:

-Swans, playing New York in October, maybe some collaboration with labelmates Akron/Family
-Grinderman, Europe tour starting a few weeks after, but Nick Cave showed up as a surprise last year just to play keys for Dirty Three
-Tom Waits, Jarmusch connection, would be perfect for Mr. Waits to appear from the smoke of Sunn O))) and Boris
-Apex Twin, playing London the week before, would be amazing on the Stardust ballroom soundsystem
-Grizzly Bear (last year had Iron + Wine and Panda Bear on Friday, combine these two and you get Grizzly Bear), they're have some dates spread out around this weekend but nothing in the way, playing in LA with Phoenix later who are also open but not likely (maybe Bumbershoot)
-Pavement, the bassist will already be there
-Michael Rother, Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth so the drummer will already be there) and Aaron Mullan performing as Neu!
-Jeff Magnum/NMH, played in NYC last week, Explosions in the Sky said in an interview that every artist who curated tried to make this happen, played in New York might be time for this to happen.

[bmack86]

I was talking with my mom about Suicide yesterday, and i realized that the set at ATP last year was about as punk rock as they could have gotten. I expected them to be a certain thing, and their approach was the only way that could have riled me up and really fucked up what I wanted to see. It was one of the coolest things I've seen, in retrospect, and I respect them a hell of a lot for being badass enough to completely go against what someone like me expected.

[mountmccabe]

I honestly found how much you were pissed off by their set to be quite amazing, after a fashion.
