Melvins 'Vs Mike Patton' to curate Xmas ATP Festival

[Andy]

There's only a month to go now. Maybe they'll announce the last few bands soon.

Woo

[norecess]

Is there room for more bands?

[Andy]

apparently so! I guess they could be fairly big ones too. Remember Sun City Girls and Comets On Fire weren't announced for the 2006 until really late on

James Blood Ulmer has been added to the bill today, picked by Mike Patton. we're now very close to selling out.

[Andy]

Here's an innerestin' thing. If you look on Trevor Dunn's myspace gig list thing you have


ALL TOMORROW

[norecess]

I am actually hoping it's either Lombardo or Crover, not the two of them. I know that sounds negative but think about it.

[Andy]

I don't think it does. The way I see it Fantomas is a start/stop on a dime really precise sort of thing and having one less drummer is only going to help in that department. Having said that I haven't seen the Big Band dvd yet. Maybe if they'd modify the songs a bit to include an extra drummer it would be ok. But I agree, one drummer would be best. I'm sure there will be some disgruntled people if Lombardo isn't playing but in my opinion there's always room for  Crover. And a woman's work is Trevor Dunn

We'll have to wait and see. Maybe Dale can do the Slayer medley

i'm watching this thread again

The Slayer tour finishes end of Nov in Russia, I figure that should be enough time for Mr Lombardo to get his ass to Minehead. The double-drummer Big Band doing Director's Cut works just fine to my ears.

from Double Negative's myspace:

THIS IS FOR SERIOUS TAKERS ONLY
"We're playing at All Tomorrow's Parties at Bultins in Minehead the weekend of Dec 5, 6, 7th. We're flying into Bristol at 10:15am on the 5th and need to be back at the airport Monday morning at 8:30ish.
Ok...we have a couple free passes for the day we play, not the whole weekend.
From what we can tell the airport in Bristol is an hour away from ATP at Bultins in Minehead. If you are reliable, can drive and put 4 people(Double Negative), 4 backpacks and 3 guitars in you car or van and get us to the show we'll hook ya up with a ticket or two for the day we're playing and give you some band goodies and throw in for petrol. ...
And we need a ride back to the airport on monday the 8th by 8:30ish.
So, if you live near Bristol or there abouts and wanna see us and need a ticket or two. Just hook us up, we'll make it worth your time.
and we'll thank you on our next LP..DAYDREAM NATION out on No Way/Sorry State Records this winter".

Idlehanz, get in touch with -/-, maybe they found a ride to the airport already!

I wonder what will happen if no one gets in touch with them, I can help them out what train to take

[Andy]

The stage times are up on the site now. Melvins, BHS, Fantomas and a few others are playing twice. And there's no big shite outside stage so it's the same setup as the Thurston Moore one.

Saturday in centre stage is amazing! Mastodon then Melvins then Buttholes then Fantomas.
!!!!!

Oh, and Melvins 1983 are the first band on the centre stage on Friday so be early! 4:45!
Also Double Negative are on last on Sunday. Don't leave early!

Shit, I hope so

Quick calculation: Bristol airport around 10, Taunton around 12/13, Minehead maybe 14/15..... (army time, sorry kids)... should be possible.

Andy, I'll see you in the moshpit during Snake Appeal, OK?
