ATP NY 09: All Tomorrow's Parties New York

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?

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.

more or less?

there was a lot of rooms they didn't even use last year. Mainly because they looked like they were in three inches of water at one point.

staying on kutchers in the best way to go. if anyone is reading this is on the fence about going, go buy that 6-person room NOW and fill it with your friends later

waht

if anyone is reading this is on the fence about going, go buy that 6-person room NOW and fill it with your friends later

Hah! I doubt I'll be able to find two other Texas people to help fill my 3 person room at the Raleigh... much less twice that size at Kutshers, nice as it may be.

"

Sufjan Stevens

Q: Are We Not ATP? A: We Are Pitchfork!

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.

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??!!
