Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Ministry Fiend]

The Damned are STILL one of the coolest live acts around. I 've seen them twice over the last 5yrs and each time they've been superb. Great addition. Now they just need to add Killing Joke and the Rezillos.

[Lunica]

And Lightening bolt?

[jamie_atp]

another addition today:

MadLove

which is the new project from Trevor Dunn (Mr Bungle, Fantomas, Trio Convulsant, Melvins and many more)

as for Lightning Bolt; there's always a chance, but if you dont wanna risk it we're putting them on in london for halloween (with shellac, les savy fav, om, wooden shjips, pissed jeans all for

[Lunica]

I live in Amsterdam, so its a bit too far away! I'm only heading over there for the Nightmare before Christmas. They'll probably play somewhere closer though.

According to the DVD commentary on the Fantomas Melvins Big Band DVD, Patton wanted Tony Bennett and Melvins wanted Pete Townshend (acoustic) and Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan and Tom Waits are at the top of every ATP wishlist every single time we do it.
surprisingly they're a bit above our budget!

The Damned?!? White Noise?!?! Mark Lanegan?!?!  Woah, Hanz is in for a treat.  Oh yah, same for Norecess and Lunica!

Lets see Halo of Flies added, as well as Los Lobos.  As well as Merzbow.  Cmon!

[norecess]

Halo of Flies would be really cool. I'm guessing you mean Latin Playboys but accidently typed Los Lobos. I can see Patton picking Merzbow, but I think he would pick an artist a bit less obvious/surprising? I'm still waiting for that confirmation of Lustmord.

Melvins wanted Pete Townshend

Now that's just ridiculous.

[Lunica]

They should pick Nardwuar to do interviews.

[Andy]

Maybe he'll be on the tv channel.

I saw Bob Dylan in 2006. He was shite.

I remember seeing Pete Townsend play solo on the tv years ago. He still attacks that guitar.

I might finally buy tickets today.

I would absolutely love to see Latin Playboys and Halo Of Flies. Haze said on the amrep site that a Purge Of Dissidents screening is more likely than Halo though.

How quickly can you gain 100 lbs?

Oh yea, Norecess has my ticket
