Excellent. Thank you for your text re: same.

Was it froze with the cold then?

 

[dudley]

yeah, tons of snow too, which was actually pretty nice, stuck to the ground unlike here

 

[telford collier]

slint were deadly as were mogwai, deerhoof and need new body
top moment: david yow performing with the melvins (who were deadly).|..|

i thought everyone else was severely boring.

i met pajo but didn't have the guts to tell him he put on a prety rubbish line-up instead opting to tell him that it was "brilliant"!ninjaaaa

 

[shidheat]

Brilliant

Highlights: Deerhoof completely blowing my mind. Slint living up to all (high) expectations. Endless boogie rocking endlessly. Bad Wizard were pretty good too. The StareMaster I found entertaining. Rye is a lovely place. Great ATP atmosphere and facilities. Even the bouncers were sound. Seriously bad B-movie on the telly at one stage.

Lowlights: It was a bit chilly which led to a bit of jacket carrying at hot gigs. The Melvins.

Other stuff of note. Matmos were decent enough. Mum were nice to flake out on the ground to.

 

[Wheels]

Highlights: Slint, Deerhoof, Bad Wizard, Sons and Daughters, Miighty Flaslight, bits of Matmos, Melvins (for a while)

Lowlights: All the other shite. Rednails and Love as Laughter in particular. So many nobody sludge pub rock bands. I couldn't even get in the downstairs venue half the time to check out how bad the folkie stuff was. The one off one on stage system was an absolute disaster.

And don't get me started on Staremaster....

oh the pain. had to drive almost the entire london orbital yesterday. in rush hour. why do I do this shit to myself?

did anyone see the guardian review yesterday. atp curated by "david tajo" and his band "flint"

musically, a weak atp (almost all of sunday licked serious balls). but much fun, despite many logistic/organisational disasters.

chin strokey electronic "nerds" matmos rocked like fuck. even though you had to get right to the front to really appreciate it. and endure loud talking from everyone who was merely camping out for the slint gig. grr..

so tired..

All the reviews above make me very glad I opted to go to the Vincent Gallo-curated one..

Even the bouncers were sound.

dunno about that, seems like they were a different security firm than before. with 10% added cuntishness I noticed.

Seriously bad B-movie on the telly at one stage.

anyone see the star wars mockumentary on sunday? fucking A


and whaddabout neil hamburger? .|..| .|..| .|..|

Had a brilliant time at this .... though the line-up was pretty weak we still had a lot of fun ... the general level of crack was good.

Best: The Melvins. Unbelievable band. Totally surpassed my expectations to the extent that when they brought Yow out I thought "Oh cool. David Yow. Great .... now get lost so we can go back to normal Melvins stuff". And I love The Jesus Lizard. I was in heaven. The whole weekend was worth it just for this.

Great: Bad Wizard (and Dudley their album is really good!), Deerhoof, and Slint.

Good: Spoon, Pearls and Brass, Ronan Coldspoon's "dancing" on Sunday night in the bar.

Bad: Need New Body, White Magic, Faun Fables.

 

[taubstumm]

bad wizard were astonishing. if you do not like bad wizard, you do not like music.

other great stuff: melvins, slint, matmos, need new body, limerick people breaking their chalet, snow.

bad stuff: sub-zero temperatures.

i had a great time.

 

[Super Dexta]

hooray! this is making me feel better about forking out more than 30 euro to see slint this weekend. hooray.
