ATP Nightmare Before Xmas '07 (1 Viewer)

[broken arm]

True. Probably still going strong from Friday night by then anyway. Hope the Aphex shows don't turn into the Stooges farce of last year.

what was that?

 

[Beak]

what was that?

Mad queues followed by mass disappointment for some. Without the wristband scheme they're doing for the Portishead shows it'll just be down to luck or a long queue to get in (though I hear the sorted the queues a bit for the spring festivals).
Gonna catch Jah Shaka on the Saturday and hope there's enough faders on Sunday to get to Aphex without much bother.

 

[broken arm]

i've just noticed that they cut the capacity by 600...

 

[Beak]

Yeah, pretty good news - it's a big cut when there's only 5000 odd in the first place.

 

[corksongs]

well they announced it was sold out a few weeks ago
so I reckon they're saving face moreso than cutting numbers

 

[Gambra]

Well thats a pile of bollocks. I'm going missing Sunn o))), Crippled Black Phoenix, Aphex Twin, Madlib. Cunting exams.

BAND TIMES FOR PORTISHEAD ATP


Please note Portishead and Aphex Twin opted to present their shows in Centre Stage and will be doing 2 performances each so they could perform their sets with no restrictive sound issues due to the bottom end frequencies. To make this work we have cut the capacity of the festival by over 600 people to allow much easier access for all fans to be able to come and see the shows of their choice.
The Portishead show will be wrist-banded so all fans are guaranteed entry. At check-in please choose your preferred show day (Friday or Saturday) The wristbands will be on a first come first served basis, however if there are special circumstances that means you are arriving late on the Friday evening or not until the Saturday morning and can only attend the Saturday show please contact us on [email protected] with "wristband" in the subject line and let us know and we can make arrangements to hold back wristbands.
The Aphex Twin shows will be on a first come first serve basis on the night - once the room is at capacity we will let people in on a one out one in basis.

[Jill Hives]

Wow, out of three days there are only 4 bands I would bother seeing.

It certainly does.

Gah, your officially not doom enough for this so.

 

[ratmonkey]

Gah, your officially not doom enough for this so.

Or else going only for the doom and nothing else.

 

[Gambra]

Or else going only for the doom and nothing else.

Then she's be what we call too doom. There's some fine examples of hip hop there. If she was too doom she'd hate that. And not be allowed in.

 

[I Bleed Black]

Just out of interest which 4? I think there's about 20 i want to see hopefully not too many are clashing

Imagine the confusion if MF Doom were playing.

 

[Gambra]

ONE MORE DAY PEOPLE!

 

[Buzzo]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

*atchoo*

 

[Gambra]

You've got the sickness?

 

[Buzzo]

I have, but I think I'm over the worst of it.
Trying to compose a thesis proposal through a veneer of snot and tears while also trying to keep a lid on the excitement for the weekend is hard work.
Bleedin ATP! Owwwwwwwwwww!

 

[ratmonkey]

Less than 2 days 21 hours to the GZA.
