Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Andy]

This is the Nightmare Before Christmas thing that they played two years ago with Flipper, Nurse With Wound and all that. So who would they pick? The Melvins I mean not Mike Patton.

If this actually happens you should all fly across the world to the Melvins fest and we can all drink warm, expensive English beer together.

Here is some unfounded rumour discussion

If it's true, me and Lun will be there for sure.

Who would The Melvins pick? The Locust, Black Heart Procession, Kill Me Tomorrow Big Business naturally, maybe Blue Cheer if they would be down with that, Seawhores, Sir DSS, are the Latin Playboys still active? probably not. How 'bout The Lucky Stars? No idea about them other. Meshuggah? Lustmord (OMG! Did I just say that? I think for a possible Melvins/Lustmord collaboration I'm allowed to!), Zu.... it'd be one big surprise!!!

EDIT: Venomous Concept, Napalm Death, Brutal Truth, Qui, Black Dice maybe? OK... so far all the obvious ones.

At least there wouldn't be any hipster bullshit bands playing.

I'm sure ATP can make the Latin Playboys come back if they made Slint come back. They should wave some cash at the Cows too. I think that particular reunion at that particular event isn't very likely to happen at all though. Maybe Shrinebuilder would play.

People who are too expensive: ZZ Top, Kiss

Mudhoney,Foetus,Altamont,Porn+Merzbow,Butthole Surfers,Hank III,Flipper,Godzik Pink,Jesus Lizard

I'd love to see the Heroine Sheiks on that bill.

I'd love to see the Heroine Sheiks on that bill.

Ooh, seconded.  Lustmord would be amazing as well. All the obvious ones I can think of right now
have been named... OM would be cool too.

Alice Cooper, Cream, Stooges, Pink Floyd ... he he

[norecess]

The Sonics would be more realistic.

Paying homage to some old school hardcore would be cool too, like MDC.

If The Melvins are playing I will have to ask my friends in London about letting me stay with them so they can go to ATP with me.  Plus I should have money and vacation time by then to take.

Throbbing Gristle got back together, and I know that Buzz likes Throbbing Gristle...

[Chomas]

Buzz loves to insult Patton in subtle ways every time he's asked about him, which is hilarious since he plays with him all the time.

It's like he wants to make sure you understand that him and Patton have totally different takes on music, and that he almost doesn't totally respect Patton...

lol

Maybe the people closest to him are the ones who take the piss the most.

Those are all things that can be taken care of later, after you've decided to go!

Btw, not that it's relevant yet, but ATP is actually quite luxurous, being held at a bungalow park, the visitors stay in chalets, you get a bed, shower, kitchen, coffee machine, oven, living room, tv...

[Andy]

Stuff like 'Celebrity Poker in Steve Albini's Chalet' is also available. That isn't something rude by the way, people did go and play poker against Steve Albini in his chalet. I looked in the window. Full of nerds.

The Melvins will program the TV Channel too if past ATPs are anything to go by. Get ready for some epic war films

"I'm not making this up. Barry told me at ATP this weekend. It's Patton vs Melvins. First announced acts are Slayer, Squarepusher and Neil Hamburger. Deal with it."

Goddamn, there I come.
