ATP Camber Sands Event DEC O4

Talking of cunts, well done to Planet Sound, the Teletext-based music news service, which reports that a new Shellac album is released in December to coincide with the UK dates. By all accounts it should be an event to compare with last year's MBV comeback album and the Big Black reformation dates they also reported

There's a rumour going round that only the Throbbing Gristle and Vincent Gallo weekends are going ahead next year, and the Chapman Brothers one is being rearranged... which would kinda make sense if that's the weekend that Shellac are playing, but moving it eariler

Camber Sands in the winter would be horrible though.

more fantastic organisational skillz from foundation

mmmm so tempting. and it's the weekend before my birthday!

but it's going to be bloody freezing in that chalet..

Q- Are Slint actually playing and is it the line up that performed the album Spiderland?
Yes, it is all four memberswho performed the masterpiece Spiderland.

*pukes with excitement*

'line up to be confirmed'

'there is currently no news to report'.

Not ALL that promising. The line-up would have to be bloody fantastic for me to brave that chalet in December.

But Camber in December sounds potentially horrible.

where does it say this?

Although I did find:

Q- Are My Bloody VBalentine actually playing and is it the line up that performed the albumLoveless?
Yes, it is all four members who performed the masterpiece Loveless.

I heard a rumour Fugazi are on the bill this year as well !
*fetches coat*

News ATP’s Christmas present to YOU!
The date: 3rd August 2004
Artists: Slint All Tomorrow’s Parties have announced a special Christmas festival to take place between 3rd and 5th of December at Camber Sands.
The event, delightfully named ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, is to be curated by Dinos and Jake Chapman who, as yet, have only confirmed one band: Slint - yes all four members responsible for the masterpiece known as 'Spiderland', woo!

The rest of the line-up is expected to be announced soon and tickets are now on sale! Run my children, run.

"Back tracking from a previous news story (now removed), we at DiS would like to set the story straight and inform you that Slint are definitely NOT confirmed for All Tomorrow’s Parties this Christmas.
There will indeed be a special Christmas festival to take place between 3rd and 5th of December at Camber Sands, but details of bands playing are yet to be confirmed. It does however, seem unlikely that Slint will be playing.

We do know that the event, delightfully named ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, is to be curated by Dinos and Jake Chapman.

The line-up is expected to be announced very soon, and Drowned in Sound have been promised an exclusive list of all those playing first, so stay tuned.

We certainly don’t condone wandering through other people’s servers and taking half-formed information."

And reading information directly off ATP's website is hardly 'wandering through other people’s servers and taking half-formed information'

i thought hacking, porn, and sharing grime mp3s was all people used the interweb for though, no?

So that's at least one confirmed band.

But I'm holding off until I get a Slint confirmation, or a pile of other good bands, since I'm going to one fo the Scala nights.

I am stupid.

I am still stupid.

DECEMBER SPAWNED A MONSTER
Jake & Dinos reveal their ATP
06 Sep 2004

After much specualation, details are emerging about December's Jake and Dinos Chapman-curated All Tomorrow's Parties.

The three day festival, called The Nightmare Before Christmas, runs from the 3rd to 5th of December and will take place in ATP's customary abode of Camber Sands Holiday Camp in East Sussex.

Headlining will be Throbbing Gristle and Mercury Rev, with other confirmed acts including The Fall, Peaches, Shellac, Lightning Bolt, Wolf Eyes and Violent Femmes. Sounds cracking, doesn't it?

There'll be no liquers for your hairy-eared uncle at Christmas, mind, as you'll need to fork out £120 for a ticket - as usual though, this includes accommodation in one of Camber Sands' luxury apartments. Tickets will be onsale from www.atpfestival.com, as soon as they fix it.

But this may well be worth braving Camber in December for, if this is actually true.

Hogan promised on the drownedinsound boards (4th August) that it would all be announced "in the next two weeks". And three weeks after that deadline...?

http://uk.news.launch.yahoo.com/dyna/article.html?a=/040906/340/f20ka.html&e=l_news_dm

Headline acts already confirmed for the weekend of December 3-5 include Mercury Rev and industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle.

Other artists set to perform include Shellac, Peaches, The Fall, Violent Femmes, The Minutemen, Carl Craig, Wolf Eyes and Lightning Bolt.

There will also be rooms dedicated to Manchester's Skam Records and Austria's Mego Records.

THE (sic) LIARS
THE SILVER MOUNT ZION ORCHESTRA
DESTROY ALL MONSTERS

No complaints about any of those, personally.

This could be a lot of fun - provided we can all convince ourselves it isn't as completely fucking freezing as it will be.

SLINT REFORMS TO CURATE ATP 2005

All Tomorrow's Parties are very proud to announce that legendary Louisville, KY musical pioneers Slint will surprise and delight fans by reuniting to perform at and curate the first weekend of All Tomorrow's Parties of 2005, on February 25th, 26th and 27th at Camber Sands Holiday Centre, East Sussex, UK.

Core Slint members Brian McMahan, David Pajo and Britt Walford will be selecting an eclectic line-up for the weekend and will themselves be playing music from their albums "Tweez" and "Spiderland" as well as the posthumous untitled ten-inch single. Soon after the 1991 release of the acclaimed "Spiderland," Slint disbanded but their remarkable music went on to inspire and influence an ever-widening legion of fans. Now, for the first time since their separation, Slint returns for this very special edition of All Tomorrow's Parties.
line-up details will be announced in the coming months.

I really love ATP, but experience has taught me that prefab chalets in February are never a good idea.

I think I'll wait 'til the second weekend in late April.

Anyway, money constraints have convinced me December is a non-starter (and I already have Scala tickets) so February looks OK to me.

Absolutely. I fully expect this entirely unloved band to attract no interest whatsoever on their return

Cool, apart from the fact they can't get ...AYWKUBTTOD's name right

I would like to point out that Mr. Ewing and I have yet to be properly signed by them.

i'm disappointed with foundation and their organisational skills. but then again, it's not that surprising.

It's great quality so far, but not nearly enough acts, even with 3 TBC's. I'd hope they get some good DJ's in the pub in addition to the 'club' like they normally do as well.

I used to make that mistake all the time.
