Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Andy]

I'm pretty sure they are! To be entirely honest Maarten it's all about the travelling/people tradeoff. I am quite happy to head to Bristol with some of my friends but i've been unable to convince anyone to travel all the way to Roadburn with me (even though Down were playing this year). I'm sure it will happen eventually. And yes, I'm aware that Idlehanz is travelling halfway around the world 

ATP themselves seem to squeeze a couple of bands on. Fuck Buttons seem to play every ATP event these days, if they squeeze onto the bill maybe ATP are picking a couple of bands. Who knows.

I'm hoping some bands that aren't on Ipecac will be picked. Some curveballs! Something like Halo Of Flies or a reformed Cherubs (they like Ed Hall right?) would be amazing. As would Melvins/Lustmord. Rather that than Eggnog/Lysol, although that would be incredible too.

Get Greg Sage up there, with Coady and Jared backing him.

I'd like to see them add duh, that would be an interesting addition.

Hm, I'm just being skeptical. It just seems more like an Ipecac showcast so far. And I just think the Melvins could have pulled this one off without Patton - let them have their own curatorship, you know? It's a bit like The Netherlands AND Belgium organizing a European Champsionship Football - what's the point?

Ha, understood. Yeah I have found myself in the same boat so many times. I remember I really wanted to attend Supersonic two years ago. And it's already hard enough to find people who agree on the amazingness of the line up, let alone to find those who can afford an expensive (British!) festival that also requires a plane ticket. Roadburn should be eaiser though. It's inside, which is convenient, it's not more than 70 euros for two days, pre-party and afterparty excluded, and a beer costs about 2 euro, and smoking inside was allowed, until this year unfortunately.

That's be a funny one. Very unlikely too, which means not impossible at all in Melvins land.

So, if anyone is thinking of going but hasn't booked anything yet, the chalet I booked has one spot left, and I don't think I'm going to be able to find someone to go with me in the physical world - they all agree: too damn expensive. It's a 4 person chalet and so far it will features Idlehanz, Lunica and myself. Shoot me a pm if you're interested. I'd prefer someone I know at least a little bit, someone I once quoted or pm'ed with - something to that extent. You also have to trust me with money, but I, as well as some others here, can garantuee you I am officially themelvins.net certfified trustworthy.

[Lunica]

It should be someone who doesn't throw up inside.

[FartLips]

if i could just win that damn lottery!

[norecess]

In the unlikely case you will, can I charge you twice the price then?

[M i C H e L L e]

When is the final date for official word?  I would be totally be up to going, but I won't be able to book anything for a couple of months, when I get my next bonus check.

[norecess]

Pooh, I don't know. Today a good friend of mine actually told me he would consider it. And usually he never has the money, so that came a bit by surprise. But if he decides not to go, then I'll still have that extra spot left of course. I don't mind if you would pay me a bit later after you will receive your bonus check, 'cause I've spent my money already anyway. But keep in mind the money it will cost you! It won't be cheap, and you'll be more on your way than sitting down! But yeah, it'll be fun of course and if you can afford it, then why not?

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

I'd trust norecess with my money.
