Lucky you... Glice baby

Iain · 04.05.2006, 01:19 PM

Huh....my sister lives in Weston.

I think I might just go to this.

wax · 04.06.2006, 03:22 AM

its pretty safe to say that thurston is gonna put on an amazing line up. i dont think i need to wait and see which other acts are gonna play. i trust thurston, after all, i owe alot to sonic youth for in one way or another getting me into alot of the bands who i ended up loving as much or more than sy.
and anyway, i went to gallo's atp and i didnt care for alot of the bands there but i had one of the best weekends ever anyway just because atp is an amazing festival in every way. no need to get ripped off with everything from food to tickets like you do at every other big festival.
but its sucks that everything happens in the uk when im not in the uk. i know when i get back there , all the good bands and festivals will dry up!
but fuck it, ill probly go back to england early for this atp/

They are still together and they're coming back to the UK this summer.

Hey T thanks for the news... roll on the summer.

In fact roll on the The Nightmare Before Christmas as well because I bought a ticket this morning and I am now very excited!!!!.

Savage Clone · 04.07.2006, 09:23 AM

You liked Charalambides live?
I have seen them a few times and have always been underwhelmed. I really like Christina and I want to like that group, but the only stuff of theirs I really enjoy is the really early stuff where they did super-bleak sounding psych tunes.
I saw Christina do a live solo set once and was prepared to like it even less, but I wound up being pleasantly surprised; she did a beautiful set that I am glad I stuck around for.

toxic johnny · 04.07.2006, 10:00 AM

Yeah I was extremely taken with the atmosphere... as it turned out it wasn't the full lineup, Heather had missed her plane, or something and didn't make it. It was in the afternoon at ATP just the perfect time to see them I think... I was really hung over from the night before and was very receptive to their sound... it really gave me the chills.

I can only wonder what it must be like to experience them with the glorious Heather Leigh Murray as well.

I really like all of their catalogue... but my favourites are the last two studio Lp's... so I guess we must beg to differ!.

greenlight · 04.08.2006, 04:34 AM

argh... exams plans are hard... I'll know if I'd manage to get there just after october... phisiology is massive and difficult to pass at first rollcall...

dp you think there will be still tickets available in october?
those days are perfect-it's also a holiday, plus london thanks to ryan air is just 30euros more or less away!

greenlight · 04.09.2006, 06:42 AM

thanks katy, i've checked that out.

still confused how to get there (and where the hell is that place - have to check map).

sonicl · 04.09.2006, 11:32 AM

It's not possible to buy individual tickets, so I bought a pair yesterday morning, but so far I'm going on my own. Watch this space nearer the time to see if I still have a spare.

Fakediy · 04.09.2006, 12:14 PM

I really want to go but it's so hard to mobilize friends to come with me, especially now there are only 3+ people rooms available. I grew up in devon though, and the whole south west from bristol onwards is just a cultural wasteland, so ATP heading there is like super exciting. It would be a lot more exciting if I still lived in the south west, but hey. I'm lucky to have escaped.

Mudride · 04.09.2006, 06:02 PM

wow, you english are fuckin lucky, you got the ATP with Mudhoney, Sleater-Kinney, Devendra Banhart, The Shins, Dinosaur Jr ... I'm forgettin one ... oh yeah, yeah yeah yeahs ... in a few weeks and now this ...
I'm so fuckin jelous :P

therealglenstyler · 04.10.2006, 04:19 AM

woooo hooooo! jus booked my tix!
Now, Thurston, one word... B_A_N_G_L_E_S.

h8kurdt · 04.10.2006, 08:47 AM

I just wanna say something that's purely down to what I believe and I want to say aloud so no biting my head off afterwards

The thing about this festival is that it's (sorry if this sounds corny) almost a celebration of music and discovering new bands of which Thurston has the honor to do. I keep thinking that maybe Sonic Youth are going to see this a just the same old gig but in a new place (ie/ not london) and by that I mean they're just doing it to promote their new album not just for the fun of the new album. So they'll just be playing the whole or near enough the whole of the new album with a couple of old songs chucked in to keep people happy. I know that if I was in a big band woth a back catalogue of songs like SY I'd sure as hell wanna make this gig special.

Does no one else think for this one gig they should play a wide spectrum of their songs and not just focus on the new songs even if it's for just one gig?

bikinikillbillchillthrill · 04.10.2006, 04:54 PM

COOL!!! cant wait for the rest of the line up tba!!

Glice · 04.10.2006, 07:09 PM

Is it only me that can't get onto the website? I want to find some way of working there. And damnit, I better had work there or I shall not be happy.

Hannah · 04.10.2006, 07:26 PM

May I ask how much a ticket costs?

I'm rather close but if the tickets cost alot then no one would go with me. And I have a feeling no one will be going with me.
