ATP NY 09: All Tomorrow's Parties New York

Likewise. Very psyched. New 3x album is one of my favorites of 2009.

Do you know if they're gonna take over the dining room or something?

i fucking LOVE the new album. seeing them in a 100 capacity pub in brighton next month, very exciting.
i'm not sure to be honest, but from the way they described it i'm sure they've got something pretty good planned

oh shit sufjan stevens, boris and oneida have just sealed the deal. i'm going. jamie: if i don't need hotel accomodations, should i still be worried about tickets selling out and buy mine soon?

sorry dude i dont have the figures available, but those were big announcements today so i wouldnt wait too long
if you want to guarantee getting tickets.

ILX contingent at ATP, now officially 3/2,800

first person to do the Attack Attack dance in the poolside bar wins a free drink from me.

Just saw this update on the ATP site:

BORIS TO PERFORM FEEDBACKER AT ATP NEW YORK

Thursday July 16, 2009

We're very happy to announce that Boris will perform their fantastic 2003 album Feedbacker in its entirety for their special set curated by The Flaming Lips at ATP New York 2009.

On Friday 11th, David Cross has picked Eugene Mirman, Jon Benjamin & Jon Glaser - 'The Fuggedabuddies' and Derrick Brown and the Navy Gravy for the comedy stage.

On Sunday 13th, The Flaming Lips have picked Black Moth Super Rainbow, Birds Of Avalon, Menomena and Hopewell. We are also incredibly excited to confirm that for their set performing the songs of Husker Du, No Age will be joined by none other than Bob Mould.

We are also happy to announce that Ian Svenonius will bring his Soft Focus show to Kutshers for live interview sessions with Suicide, Melvins and more TBC!

Underwhelming lineup on the Flaming Lips day. Would've thought they would pull in a couple bigger names than Black Moth Super Rainbow on their final lineup announcements. No worries, though, should be great fun anyway.

jon benjamin is amazing

Co-sign Benjamin love. Hoping the comedy doesn't conflict too bad with my desire to see Jesus Lizard and Suicide. Last years comedy stage was a traet.

yeah ... patton oswalt talking about kutshers as a creepy david lynch stageset was classic.

Hoping the comedy doesn't conflict too bad with my desire to see Jesus Lizard and Suicide.

Please oh please overlap with the Drones set and nothing else...

Jim Jarmush is gonna present Mystery Train in the cinema (full schedule now up on our site). Ian Svenonius hosting a dance party after hours one night. Steve Albini hosting the cards room again. Eric White doing an art exhibition. The Pop Quiz will be back too. Oh my.

Nope some tickets left.

The only accommodation we have is for the weekend and the rooms hold 4 people.
There are nearby hotels/motels though, or you could ask about spare room places on the last.fm event page / flaming lips forum / our facebook page (www.facebook.com/atpfestival)

Is anyone else still waiting for tickets to arrive? I admittedly didn't buy one until August 20, but thought they would be here by now.

They went out a little late but people should get them in the next few days.

Thanks!

Still haven't received my ticket... hopefully it comes before my Tuesday AM flight to NY.

I made an ATP warmup CD-R mix:
http://rapidshare.com/files/275415199/ATP_2009.zip.html

27 tracks!

Sufjan is going to play Seven Swans, just confirmed

So, which ilxors are def. going this weekend? Whiney, I know you'll be there. Too lazy to read through the rest of the thread on my mobile (on the ATP bus right now). Who else can I expect to see there?

The best of Day 1 (in order of descending greatness):

Suicide
Dirty Three
Panda Bear
The Jesus Lizard
The Feelies

Liz Harris/Grouper was fucking incredible.

sitting at the merch booth eating free ice cream = good festival

Fucking excellent:

El-P
Shellac
Grouper
Melvins
Akron/Family

Solid, if not spectacular:

Animal Collective
Antipop Consortium
Autolux
Sleepy Sun
Black Dice
Deerhunter

Yaaaaaawn:

Atlas Sound (enjoy the records, but didn't translate well live)
Sufjan Stevens (not a fan; this shit was PACKED though!)

Just one word: ONEIDA.

Best of the best:

Oneida - "presents the Ocropolis," aka 10+ hours of krautrock inspired free improv., a total mindfuck
Boris - performing Feedbacker
Boredoms - 9 drummer Boadrum

Really damn good:

Caribou Vibration Ensemble + Marshall Allen
No Age + Bob Mould - performing Husker Du songs (oh yes)

Enjoyable enough:

The Flaming Lips (great showmanship, lacking in actual tunes)
Super Furry Animals
Deerhoof + Martha Colburn

Weekend top ten, loosely ordered:

Oneida - "presents the Ocropolis"
El-P
Suicide - performing first LP
Boris - performing Feedbacker
Boredoms - 9 drummer Boadrum
Shellac
Grouper
Caribou Vibration Ensemble + Marshall Allen
Melvins
Dirty Three + special guest Nick Cave

What exactly did Oneida do? Did they do a bunch of sets or was it one long set?

It was one long set, they had their own stage and played for about 10-11 hours. All but the last hour or so was improvised, and they had guests at different points come in and sit and play with them for 10-20 minutes apiece. I saw them play with members of the Flaming Lips and Boredoms, a jam with drummer extraordinaire Zach Hill, and a couple other people I didn't recognize. The last hour was billed as "Oneida Plays Oneida," and they did a bunch of (mostly shorter) songs from albums past and present.

Having their own stage was a really great concept. I was never bored during the day, in between sets of other bands I'd just go see Oneida for a few minutes or half hour or whatever. I dropped in maybe a half dozen times over the course of the day.

Thanks for the quick answer!

I love Oneida. But I love them even more live. Or just hanging around with them. Super nice guys and total bad-asses on stage.

I first crossed paths with them on tour a few nights in '99. Then really re-discovered them when Anthems on the Moon came out.

Was only there for a few hours, seeing Boredoms and Caribou. Thought both were fantastic - best shows I'd seen be either of them. Boredoms overrunning and having their equipment broken down while they played was kinda funny.

I didn't hear a lot of the WFMU broadcasts.

At the NYC Boredoms show last Wednesday, about 5 minutes into the piece, the older of the core drummers was suddenly brought in from the rear of the space perched on a fucking litter with a drumkit on it, borne by 6 or 8 dudes. Did they do that shit at the ATP performance?

thank god I was playing a show so I didn't have to agonize over whether or not to drop $75 to see suicide

that oneida thing sounds incredible. dudes must have been exhausted, though, by the time their actual "set" came along.

god.

fucking amazing weekend. maybe the best atp i've been to, and i only got to see little bits of a bunch of bands. good bits:

* ten or eleven hours of oneida jamming/recording/rehearsing with collaborators including aaron from tall firs, members of flaming lips, boredoms, no neck blues band, zach hill and tons more
* no age / bob mould was amazing though i only got to see three songs :-(, but one was with brandon cox helping them do a cover of chinese rocks so that was pretty sweet
* the low lows playing an extra gig next to the lake, and then their trombonist accompanying the kutshers regular entertainer guy on covers of showtunes and time of my life from dirty dancing
* insane party on saturday night with some couple having sex in the walkin closet with 100+ people just outside
* boris feedbacker absolutely incredible
* 9 drummer boadrum fucking insane, included some crazy 8 necked electric guitar that kept being smashed every now and then. drummers included kid millions from oneida and zach hill
* sufjan seven swans set was beautiful
* last night in one of the hotel lobbies which has a grand piano there was a massive jam session featuring punters and band members including brandon cox playing some microcastles stuff on piano, circulatory system people playing, and most weirdly ryan schrieber from pitchfork playing tiny dancer by elton john
* ian svenonius dance party on saturday night = ridiculously fantastic
* generally lovely crowd
* nick cave played piano with dirty three
* another great jesus lizard show, and the main stage has no barrier thus tons of good crowd interaction
* dj last night playing 4/5 smiths/morrissey songs in a row

exhausted now.
