ATP / IBYM 2012 - Asbury Park, NJ

It was never really expected to be exclusive, he said in an interview there would be a full 20-30 show tour

True but you know how ATP are known for getting reunion bands (ex: Godspeed, Portishead, MBV) to play their shows first!

[Icemouse]

Technically they are, in May

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I really do not understand why people get so flustered over the exclusivity of sets they see.

From DIY:

You're curating the New York ATP, right? How've you gone about picking the bands for the line up?
I made a giant list that I sent to Barry, and then he and I went back and forth. It was an interesting process, obviously I was a fan of all the groups and individuals that I asked to perform. We used the contacts that he had, obviously some were available and some were not. But I think we've put together a good show.

Is there a notable 'one that got away'?
I don't think we've got Prince! There are a couple of others that I'm still holding out hope on, but Prince was a notable pass. I think I have a few left to go, so I'll keep that open, I don't want to put a whammy on it.

[Icemouse]

[TallGuyCM]

I'm not sure if she ever posted about it in here, but according to legend Courtney saw Bruce walking on the boardwalk last year during ATP.

[Icemouse]

I saw him play putt-putt with Thom Yorke and Jimi Hendrix

[fastmusicfan]

I'd never heard of these guys before this post, checking out their first album right now. So far so fuck yeah.

[fastmusicfan]

Floor is the dude from Torche's old band. I literally did not know you could tune guitars that low. Two guitarists, one drummer, all bottom end.

[Birds vs Worms]

Their show here in Houston with Mammoth Grinder and Black Congress was criminally underattended.

[fastmusicfan]

Yeah, I'm finding that alot of knowledgeable music heads don't know who they are/were. Which is a shame because they're awesome. New Torche is disappointing at first listen, by the way.

[Birds vs Worms]

That dude uses a Travis Bean guitar, right?

[fastmusicfan]

I don't think so. It looked like a Gibson SG, but wasn't. I know Albini and Duane Denison use Travis Bean, and it's a totally different tone than that. I could be totally, totally wrong, though, I'm not a guitar guy, just a rock geek (and how).

Upcoming Floor tour dates, for anyone like me who had never heard of them but are now intrigued:

This was last year

[fastmusicfan]

I almost drove 6 hrs. to Orlando once to see a Naked Raygun/Hot Water Music show that was the year before.

[Icemouse]

Ahh.. Grandaddy is on Outside Lands Fest - that'd be a nice grab

[artex]

so is neil young.

The guitar was made by Electrical Guitar Company:

They've built guitars for Steve Albini, Duane Denison, Buzz Osborne amongst others. I'm having one built by EGC right now.
