Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Idlehanz]

Yea, it's a cool pic.  The camera I have has a button to take stills while filming, so all these shots are essentially from the videos, except the videos are much clearer.

Oh yea, after the show I heard the funniest thing.  Some girl to her friend "I got that motherfuckers hairy ass in my mouth"

Probably something like: "Hey, I'm Buzz, nice to meet you".

Got back two hours ago, had a really great weekend, will post a review soon.

This weekend was a fucking blast!

It was great to meet up with the fellow board members.

I got shit-loads of pictures so if anyone that was there want's a copy of them just give us a shout.

Porn were so brutal! I stood right next to the speakers, without earplugs..... I think my internal organs are still rattling!

Here are some brief highlights!

Melvins 1983



Madlove (Trevor Dunn's new band)



Taraf De Haidouks (Romanian Gypsy band....)



Melvins

[Stone Prophet]

Just got back myself.

I had a great time, nice meeting Idlehanz and the other guys (even though I didn't know them at all, because I'm mostly a lurker)

Torche just slayed.

Apparently it wasn't a security guard; it was a guy who works for atp. But they were the most insane thing ever. The security went crazy lol they locked people in the 2nd stage and wouldn't let them out. So I'm guessing they got them to stop coz the security wouldn't be able to hold a big load of angry fans wanting to get outside and see. I managed to get a few audio recordings from the weekend, I'll be getting them up on dime over the week. Here's what I taped though:

Melvins 1983
Locust
Melvins on saturday
Fantomas on saturday
Teenage Jesus at 1am show
Butthole Surfers on sunday

I hadn't taped at atp before though and I wanted to just chill out with my friends most the time so I only recorded about a third of what I saw. Squarepusher was completely awesome.

YES! I'm glad you got to see them; I've heard nothing but great things about that band.  I can't believe the security guard laughed after being tackled, that's bizarre.

Monotonix.


WAS FUCKING AMAZING[/size]

They start off inside and I had no idea what to expect.  They're on the floor with a huge crowd around them.  I figured there'd be no way to film.  I started filming anyway and held the camera way above my head.  Less than two minutes later, the band came to me.  Fucking singer is everywhere.  Drums flying around in the crowd.  Singer standing on the bass drum while it's being held up by the crowd.  Singer hanging off rafters.  Singer on the handrail.  Singers ballsac hanging out of his Richard Simmons shorts.  Fucking Nuts!  Literally!

Afte 20 minutes inside, the crowd tore apart the drums and took them outside.  Guitar player kept playing.  Crowd is like "Wtf?"  I keep rolling film and go outside and the drums are setup outside and the singer is back on top of the bass drum on top of the crowd.  Big dive and surf.  Then he tells everyone to sit down.  Everyone does.  Hundreds of people, even people who were'nt in the show st down.  Then a guard comes over and says no more.  Crowd boo's, some dude tackles the security guard and they go down.  Everyone laughs.  The tackler laughs and the security guard laughs!  Singer thanks everyone, show over.

We will soon, Idle taped it. The same as the Jello 5-0 show I guess, but a bit shorter I guess. They ended with a song that seemed to have evolved from the guitar riff from Sunshine Of Your Love.

Just got home myself.  It was the same set from the Jello shows.  It just seemed shorter to me for some reason.
