ATP NY 09: All Tomorrow's Parties New York

the line up's like three groups in, and d3 playing ocean songs is part of standard atp entry price (in fact, isn't it horse stories they usually do?). i'm sure the line-up'll be pretty great.

yeah, time will tell. still, that poster doesn't exactly have me clamoring at the bit.

chomping at the bit?

I'm for some reason really, really eager to see more of this lineup. Last year was incredible.

Thinking of another flight from Texas, would be very fun!

we've actually got something else coming up first, on the 17th we've got a party at Emo's in Austin celebrating the premier of the ATP film. octopus projects, the drones, sleepy sun, micah p hinson playing and atp founder barry hogan djing. lots of film clips to be shown. wish i was flying over for it :-(

I will be there for sure.

update! FINALLY!

Today we're pleased to announce the second group of announcements for our second ATP New York festival which runs from 11th-13th September 2009 and is co-curated by The Flaming Lips. The first event received widespread rave reviews and the second is shaping up to be just as good.

On Friday 11th September, joining the previously announced Dirty Three performing Ocean Songs, Suicide performing their legendary first LP and David Cross curating a comedy stage, we have:

THE JESUS LIZARD - their first New York show in many many years
THE DRONES - performing Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of The Enemies Will Float By

On Saturday 12th September, joining the previously announced Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Black Dice, Antipop Consortium, Autolux and Atlas Sound we have:

MELVINS
EL-P
DEAD MEADOW
AKRON FAMILY
SLEEPY SUN

We will be announcing some of the bands that THE FLAMING LIPS, our Sunday headliners, have announced in the near future.

Tickets are on sale now for $235 with or without accommodation at an extra cost.

We are also placing on sale today a VERY limited amount of day passes for this festival. Friday day passes cost $75, Saturday and Sunday passes cost $95 per day. These are on sale now and due to high demand are not expected to be available for very long.

Been waiting for that Jesus Lizard New York date, and pumped it's at something I already have a ticket for!

Whiney you should attend dressed like that.

he might get beaten up by that Rude Bear guy for stealing his limelight

Perhaps, but it could also be a cue for general shenanigans. (That is what happens, surely.)

Yeah what was up with that bear dude?

he does it at tons of shows: http://www.rudeny.com/

sort of the new york beatle bob / big jeff (shout out to all my brizzle homeboys or something)

Another great addition to our Don't Look Back day which will open the 2009 ATP New York event comes in the shape of The Feelies performing their classic second LP The Good Earth.

Awesome.

there was a bit of a mistake there actually; they're doing Crazy Rhythms instead!

!!!!

Even better!

i know :-)

got yr sitemail, ilxor. dunno anyone who fits that bill yet. ask closer to the fest.

fun Q&A with ATP founder:

Thanks, Whiney, good read!

Jamie, when can we expect a lineup announcement for ATP New York's Sunday lineup curated by the Lips?

and even Sigur Rós, who played for £500 back when they were making good music.

Ouch.

hard to say, hopefully within the next month. i've heard some possible names and it
all sounds good.

just added:

Iron and Wine
Deerhunter
Boss Hog
Bridezilla
Boredoms perform 9 drummer BOREDRUM
No Age perform Husker Du (with special guest vocalist)
Caribou perform as Caribou Vibration Ensemble
Stardeath and White Dwarfs
Deerhoof with Martha Colburn

Caribou Vibration features a 4 piece horn section, 4 drummers and a choir and guests that include Kieran Hebden (Four Tet/Fridge/Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid), Koushik (Stones Throw Records), John Schmersal (Enon, Brainiac), Kathryn Bint (One Little Plane), Ahmed Gallab (Sinkane) and more.

Boredoms perform 9 drummer BOREDRUM

Hmmmm... not bad!

I wonder where boredoms are gonna do that performance. I hope it's around the lake

It's really a bummer sign of the American economy that the uk December ATP is selling out already and the US one gets every single incredible band in the world and still has tix to spare. Esp since anything with the words "animal collective" sells out in new York within 5 minutes

any significance to GGD at Bumbershoot the week before?

Goddamnit... anyone want to share the room with me?

any significance to GGD at Bumbershoot the week before?

Oh good Lord I hope so, that would be killer.

Also, Jamie... can we please get Kieran to do a Four Tet set while we're at it? ;-)

Melvins and Jesus Lizard aside, last year's lineup KILLS this year's pathetic excuse for a lineup so far.

Last year had better headliners. I feel like Animal Collective and Deerhunter are not quite sufficient for a Saturday headlining duo; hoping there's more to come in that regard.

Animal Collective, Melvins and Deerhunter as Saturday 2009 headliners
vs.
Lighning Bolt, Shellac and Silver Mt. Zion Saturday 2008 headlines

that seems pretty fair imo, guys.

Yeah... fair enough.

I still think ATP NY 09 needs a third heavy hitter for Don't Look Back on Friday. I'm looking forward to Suicide and the Feelies, but Dirty Three and the Drones (much as I enjoy both at times) seem a bit weak to me.

This lineup, on the other hand, just seems incredible:

Devo
The Jesus Lizard
Spiritualized
Sleep - Performing Holy Mountain / selections from Dopesmoker and more.
Grails
Young Marble Giants - Performing Colossal Youth

I think ATP NY has a bit of catching up to do...

You're comparing the heavy-hitters of one day of ATP US vs an entire weekend of UK

are me and ilxor the only ILXers who have tickets? this convo is kinda lopsided.

Whiney, that's just Saturday of UK as far as I recall. xpost

quit yer bitchin anyway

haha

:oD

Nice!!

for those interested, 7 Berth Rooms are now sold out at kutshers, other room options going fast: http://www.atpfestival.com/Events/ATPNewYork2009/News/0905270901.php

Appx what % of ticketholders end up staying somewhere besides Kutschers and Raleigh? Last year someone broke into my friends car and slept in it!

Not sure to be honest; i think the number of rooms has changed a bit this year.
a majority of ticket holders can get a room though.

i'm bet iggy and sleep don't come as cheap as Bardo Pond

I'd really like to be able to hate on this year's fest (since I can't go ;_;) but I mean, can you *really* hate on a fest where THE HEADLINER IS BORIS AND SUNN O))) PERFORMING ALTAR?!?!!!?!?! Also I would fucking love to see Sleep headline day 1 for two hours... Jesus!

Yeah, getting sooooooooooooo excited for this. I naysayed the lineup but there is plenty of greatness to go around...stealth Thurston Moore solo set added early on Sunday last minute. Plus they're having a book club - so nerdy and great.

never gonna finish this damn book in time

The Luc Sante or the one about Tesla? I just finished the Sante today, not gonna make it through the Tesla one I fear.

Halfway thru Tesla. Maybe a Sante essay or two on the bus ride up!

Hey Whiney, how's the fest? How was SLEEP?? (I'm catching their Austin show in a week or so, really excited.)

everybody knows that denver, and not new york, is the artists haven of america. atp in new york is blasphemy, righteous blasphemy chaps!!

Sleep were immense, they played for over two hours. You're in for a treat in Austin, ilxor. Other highlights: Sonic Youth playing a set of only '80s material on Saturday night, T Model Ford doing at least two impromptu sets and being everywhere all the time (not bad going for a 90-something dude in a wheelchair), Beak> being a perfect early Saturday wake up call, Hope Sandoval telling us we all looked "quite tired" (are her and Colm from MBV an item? I'm assuming they are?), Wooden Shjips obliterating any need for a Spacemen 3 reunion, Papa M being one of the few acts to grasp that we don't need to be bludgeoned to death by volume all the time (and proving that Pajo is really wasting his talent on turds like Zwan and Interpol). I guess the Sunn/Boris thing was good but it's not really my thing. I snuck off to see GZA instead, who put a lot more effort into his set than Raekwon's very brief will-this-do main stage appearance. Oh, and Ron Jeremy was there.

There's loads of stuff I'm forgetting but I just got back to NYC and need sleep after dancing the night away to DJ Kool Herc's set.

man, what a great time

Thanks for the detailed account! Very interesting!

fine,

Highlights

1. Iggy & The Stooges - Straight up bonkers crowd, Mike Watt totally digging in, Scott Asheton swinging his grooves, and 60-something Iggy just climbing all over the crowd. Total fuckin madhouse. I was in the second row for about 45 minutes and was just soaked and ruined and dehydrated, my shirt completely unbuttoned. Wow.

2. Text Of Light - These guys just obliterated me. Strictly face-melting noise. Was such a good break-up to the more indie/psych stuff. People packed the room ("Hey! Lee Renaldo!") and then there was like 30 of us at the end. But it was so textured and intricate, i just got lost in their goo.

3. Fucked Up - I've seen these dudes before, but it was such a caffeinated jolt. Young kids spazzing out, PinkEye just commands a room.

4. The Breeders - A little nostalgic, totally fun

5. The Food! - Man between the outdoor BBQ ribs melting off the bone, the lateral-minded flavors of Steve's Ice Cream (Protip: lemon meringue with marshmallow), and of course the porkbelly Asiadogs, I was just in heaven all weekend. It's hard to believe just three years ago it was just fried bullshit and now it's like something worth making the trip for alone.

Other highlights: Ricky Powell's slideshow was a riot, T-Model Ford in the lobby was unreal, getting to see Five Easy Pieces and Underworld in the Criterion Cinema was great. Fuck Buttons had ridiculous bass, the book panel was chill

Other stuff I saw!: Beak>, Sleep, The Scientists, Mudhoney, Sian Alice Group, Hallogallo 2010, Shellac, the Breeders, Explosions In The Sky, Sonic Youth, Fursaxa, The Books, Thurston, the Greenhornes, Hope Sandoval, Girls, Raekwon, SunnO))) and Boris, White Hills, Wooden Shjips, Dungen...

and then a few hours with the mighty KOOL HERC

Sounds like I need to check out Text of Light, that's one of the only names on the bill I'm not familiar with. Very jealous of the Stooges set, that sounds IMMENSE. Would welcome details on Neu!/Hallogallo, Sonic Youth (all '80s setlist??), Sunn/Boris, Sleep... although I'm sure everything was great.

I'm seeing Sleep in three days in Austin (my small consolation for not being able to hit ATP this year).

• Ricky Powell showed up 30 minutes late and then pretty much went for three hours. Also, he bum-rushed the stage during Raekwon's set and Masta Killa pushed him off.

• Fucked Up poured a giant bag of cereal on everyone and made the ballroom smell like chocolate

• SunnO))) and Boris was really beautiful, not as loud as i hoped, but fantastic.

• Kool Herc did this amaaaaaaaazing set of like rocksteady, into funk, into 80s/90s wedding-ready rap, into reggae and totally had the room packed. Then he closed with B.o.B, some song that sounded like "Blame It" but wasn't and Eminem's "White Trash Party" and totally cleared the room. Probably the only club on earth where that would happen!

I had organized a big pool party in the middle of Sonic Youth's set and everyone was psyched to go, then they played an all-80s setlist and people were so transfixed that i was the only one in the pool

Hallogallo was actually a little dull and marred by bad, bassy sound. Sucks cuz it was one of the things I was looking fwd too. But they played some of my fave Harmonia jams, which was great

not as loud as i hoped, but fantastic.

This is how I feel every time I've seen Boris since the first, in 2007. They were louder from *outside* the venue, waiting in line, back in 2007, than they are nowadays. But that's a small complaint and I'm sure my ears are thankful, even if my heart is not.

I had organized a big pool party in the middle of Sonic Youth's set and everyone was psyched to go, then they played an all-80s setlist and people were so transfixed that i was the only one in the pool

Hold up a sec, I mean, swimming is fucking awesome, but you skipped an all-'80s SY set for a dip in the pool???

i don't really like Sonic Youth all that much iirc. I saw about a 1/2 hour of their set and certainly enjoyed it.

Were Sleep as brain-rattlingly loud/heavy as advertised?

they went pretty big. neurosis drummer has kind of a light touch, but it was otherwise explosive

i mean, it was a delirious weekend. the whole ILX crew of "lolconcerts? I would rather be CUDDLING with my WIFE and a BOOK" is just missing the fuck out for real

Books and wives have their proper place and time. As do lolconcerts.

Brooklyn Vegan sez:

The 10+ minutes of Text of Light was a bust - squalls of guitar feedback with wailing sax made for a fascinating few minutes, but grew tiresome quickly.

^_____^

It def could have been a little shorter for sure, but certainly held my interest for a lot longer than 10 minutes

how were the scientists?

a little dry and tame but ultimately rewarding

Oh so this Text of Light project is feat. Lee Ranaldo, Alan Licht, DJ Olive and a few other interesting names. Well then. I will be investigating v. much so!

I think I'm right in saying that the most recent Sonic Youth album they plundered was Daydream Nation. Everything else was from before that. They sounded fantastic. An Evol or Sister tour would be great. Unlikely though. Disagree with Whiney on Fucked Up, I thought they were like a Wal Mart vision of pre-packaged punk rock rebellion, just completely lame and pointless. Sunn O))) and Boris seemed pretty loud from where I was standing, I shudder to think how loud they could have been at that 2007 show mentioned up there.

The Jim Jarmusch/Thurston Moore Q&A was a highlight. The story of how they met at a copy shop in the LES was fun - it was a place where everyone used to go to copy flyers and make fanzines in the pre Kinkos era. Moore worked there for a while until he got fired for making copies of his own 'zine on the sly.

I went to the Sunn/Boris show in Brooklyn last night. Was absolutely fantastic despite 2/3 of the power blowing out. It killed the mood a little bit but after trying to fix the situation they came back and did a kick ass show without any fancy lighting. It was great. It was totally loud enough from where I was. Loved it. I'd see them anytime either band comes back to the city. Sunn is the shit.

This is how I feel every time I've seen Boris since the first, in 2007. They were louder from *outside* the venue, waiting in line, back in 2007, than they are nowadays. But that's a small complaint and I'm sure my ears are thankful, even if my heart is not.

your ears probably just adjusted. it's like mbv's "holocaust" section that at first deafens, but eventually one's brain starts to tune it out.

Sonic Youth set available here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129749867
Greatest hits set, sure, but sounds like they're fucking killing it to my ears.

So regarding the ATP documentary.... fitting my own bill, is there any MBV footage on it? AT ALL??!!
