AWWYEAHH

[Wonderbot]

[kvnty]

This will be a major highlight this year. Give them a closing set (Mojave) Friday or Saturday night. Hipsters, scenesters and other wannabes be damned!

[kvnty]

Also, the ATR fans will destroy any other band's fans.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

This is extremely unexpected.

[sonofhal]

Is the dead guy playing with them?

[the walrus]

sorry but meh, not my first choice of people i need to see at chella, and i dont even know who else is going.

[Gribbz]

I've never heard the term "digital hardcore" before.

[faxman75]

Sounds like a porn term

[travelfan]

Well at least we know who will be providing the sound bleed this year.

[ghettosteez]

that is the worst shit i've ever heard

[Bumblebee]

I saw their full Bumbershoot set in September. It's fun watching 75% of the crowd leave within 20 minutes.

[kvnty]

Jealous bitches die.

I've never heard the term "digital hardcore" before.

It was a whole genre in the late 90s. I've personally never liked ATR but having them booked is pretty cool. Kind of a rare act.

[kvnty]

that is the worst shit i've ever heard

then by all means please fuck off to another thread - and quit polluting this one with your bad taste.

[travelfan]

Where would they be billed?

[kvnty]

closing set either Friday or Saturday night, please!

[Pea]

I saw their full Bumbershoot set in September. It's fun watching 75% of the crowd leave within 20 minutes.

Which made that long ass line we had to wait in just to get into the concert hall even more annoying. Those people had no fucking clue what they were in for. Hell of a set though.

[Phenomena]

People see shitty music but I see a fun ass show. Too bad I won't be going this year.

[Donaldj]

Where would they be billed?

My guess would be somewhere in the late afternoon, probably in the Mojave.

[cuauhtemoc723]

they played september 9th @ the key club and did a us tour september 2011.

granted, before then i had not seen them around for some time. i saw them back in 2001 at the whiskey and it was intense! loud! and fun as hell!

Where would they be billed?

i'm guessing they'll play in GOBI. doubt it'll be a closing set, but i wouldn't be surprised if it is.

[kvnty]

And you definitely will lose all your water weight sweating that shit out while raging your ass off. Fuck, I can't wait for this set ... or Coachella now. If at least two of my other wishlist bands make the lineup, I will do backflips at my work cubicle.

[kvnty]

Would be sweet if they got the Sleigh Bells or Cut Copy time slot in Mojave on Friday - or the Scissor Sisters slot (again, Mojave) on Saturday.

[pachucasunrise]

Welp, looks like we've got our first obligatory hardcore/metal group. This could be fun.

[kvnty]

Another rousing song from their new album:

confirming Atari Teenage Riot for Coachella right now...

the facebook post read, "Atari Teenage Riot is officially confirmed for Coachella now! Everyone leave a message on the Festival message board!!! "

does that sound a bit sarcastic to anyone?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I predict, they will not be there.

[nyarlathotoats]

I predict, they will not be there.

Agreed. That many bands self-confirming? No way gv does their business like that.
