ATP STEP IT UP

Year after year ATP hold festivals full of the best bands this toxic world has to offer and this year is certainly no exception.
Two new artists have been voted in to play at ‘ATP Fans Strike Back Festival’, one of two weekend events run by All Tomorrow’s Parties, both taking place in May 2009 at Butlins Holiday Resort, Minehead, England.
From the 8th – 10th May, The Fans Strike Back weekend will see half of the festival line-up chosen by ATP and the other half voted for by everyone that buys a ticket.
The fans definitely have impeccable taste as M83 and Marnie Stern have been added to the already chosen Beirut and Electric Wizard.
In addition the bands chosen by ATP so far are:
THE JESUS LIZARD / DEVO / SLEEP performing Holy Mountain, selections from Dopesmoker + more / SPIRITUALIZED / YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS perform Colossal Youth / ANTIPOP CONSORTIUM / GRAILS / SLEEPY SUN / THE CAVE SINGERS / RETRIBUTION GOSPEL CHOIR / HEALTH / SHEARWATER / THE ACORN / THE PINK MOUNTAINTOPS
If you’re not going to ‘ATP Fans Strike Back Festival’ then I’d suggest you get your credit crunch butts down to the Breeders curated ATP festival, which takes place a week later (15th – 17th May)
So far the lineup looks like this:
THE BREEDERS / THROWING MUSES / BON IVER / FOALS / TEENAGE FANCLUB / HOLY FUCK / KIMYA DAWSON / PIT ER PAT / DEERHUNTER / GANG OF FOUR / SHELLAC (House Band) / ZACH HILL / THE SOFT PACK / THE HOLLOYS / STYROFOAM / CSS / SUPERSUCKERS / YANN TIERSEN

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
