Anyone else from Britain taking a trip over the pond for it?
Reply
me me me
i feel so smug.just remembered i got a ticket.that makes me feel so much better after the come down of primavera.thankyou!!!
cool!
i didnt know you were coming. good work.
Jamie...
...any idea when the rest of the line up will be announced?
How was Primavera by the way.
wish i could have been there but i was skint and still recovering from EITS
sorry not sure, sorry
primavera was incredible, highly recommended. i am now very very skint.
I want to
but I haven't been able to convince any friends. Cost and distance are a big obstacle for most ...
yeah..
Its gonna break the bank for me and im gonna be a hermit for most of the summer in order to save for it but i need to do it. Need a long overdue holiday. The lure of a week in New York and taking in that line up too is far too much for me to miss out on
Anyone with a spare bed
please?
Me and Mrs me are going.
I was her cunning way of dragging me to New York. If friends back out we may have spare places in our room.
Ok
well, I'd definitely be interested, let me know!
I'm definitely thinking of going!
But don't know anyone else who is - anyone? I need to get a room sorted!
I finally
found some people to go with but now it seems both hotels are full, so it probably won't happen ...
Sh!t
really? ;'(
There are other hotels in Noo Yoik
Its an expensive city but there hostels and stuff that are pretty reasonable if you hunt around.
I might go to this. Cant make my mind up. And I have friends there I could stay with.....
uh
you realise the site is like 150 miles or something from New York City?
Is it?
Oh piss!
Note to self - read stuff more closely. Where is it then?
90 minutes drive so not really that far from manhattan. not much longer than taunton to minehead really!
How many people
book their hotel in Taunton when ATP is in Minehead?
plus
Taunton - Minehead = 24 miles
Manhattan - Monticello = 106 miles
i.e. about 4 times as far and more like a 2 hour drive
true
but there are hotels and hostels nearer as jgjug mentions below. just saying its not THAT far from NYC to the site.
also comparing the types of roads connecting taunton and minehead and the types of road connecting manhattan with monticello probably wouldnt make the journey that different timewise. plus it would be much more pleasant ;-)
Just had a quick look,
there's a Best Western and an Econo Lodge in Monticello. Either of those are worth trying.
Enough miffling!
Look what I found: Americas Best Value Inn @ Kutsher's Marquis - "The Catskill Mountains' newest hotel located adjacent to Kutsher's Country Club, this 60 room property features use of many of Kutsher's facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, and an 18 hole golf course."
This is 10 times better than staying at the Raleigh 3 miles away (the other option previously offered by ATP).
They have rooms available, and you can reserve online and still cancel up to 3 days before the festival. About 240 pounds for 2 people/3 nights.
See for yourself at www.americasbestvalueinn.com
ATP NY here I come!
.
East village bed and coffee looks like it should be totally wicked nice. i'm going to new york in a couple of weeks time and was gunning for this place but am staying elsewhere as it was fully booked in march.
new additions!
Bardo Pond perform Lapsed
Alexander Tucker
Apse
Les Savy Fav
Bob Mould
Sonic Boom
Le Volume Courbe
Gemma Hayes
Wounded Knees
PLUS MORE TO COME :D
Man,
I so want to go to this...!
do it!
there are more goodies to be announced soon, that are so good they redefine the boundaries of goodness.
The Wounded Knees?
I'll have to dig out those old Rollerskate Skinny records in that case ...
is too late to book tickets
and hotels, I live in manhatten but sounds like going there and back every day is not an option but need to go to this
3rd batch of tickets
and hotel rooms going on sale 23rd july.you can make it to the ball!!!!
third batch
of tickets with accomodation at Raleigh hotel on sale now. also we've got some info on other hotels nearby. checkout the news stories at http://www.atpfestival.com/events/atp-ny/
also
we'll be announcing more bands and other stuff after the weekend!
Now I'm getting all excited.
I may have to buy chequered slacks and a v -neck sweater.
Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and Brian Jonestown Massacre for MBV day
for the friday we have a comedy night curated by and featuring Patton Oswalt
we also have a cinema hosted by Criterion
and a games room with Steve Albini at the card table!
oh
and there are still more acts to be announced
Don't bet any money against Steve
You will lose it.
i think anyone
who'd even try would have big big balls.
Wish
I could go :(
I'll live in New York one day.
bump
for the daycrew
Lightning Bolt !!!
That's great as I can't make Release The Bats.
If you're stuck
for somewhere to stay, try the Chelsea hostel, not quite the chelsea hotel but I stayed there earlier this year and it was great and only £10 a night!
I stayed at the Chelsea Hostel last year
not sure what's "great" about it, but since the festival is 4 hours away from New York City I don;t think it'll be of much help anyway.
*90 minutes
Lightning Bolt.
I am ecstatic.
My wife, probably less so !
£10 a night for the Chelsea Hotel, in Manhattan?
When we looked into booking there it was over $330 a night. Where did you sleep, in a cupboard?
for a little one? I'll supply midget times and BOOZE!
Hang on... that sounds sinister...
Probably....
Two places in a four person room.
^
this person is trustworthy and friendly and stuff. give her a room!
I wouldn't doubt it.
Feel free to get in touch Lucy.
Aaah
thanks Jamie!! :D
How about renting a Campervan
...and then parking it on premises?

Sorry
I was talking to alvion. And I'm leaving San Francisco on 26 August or something. It's a mammoth road trip.
you should come.
come on.
might as well
you're richer than the queen.
can you pay for me to come?
cause i would like to go.
i'll donate 10p to your fund
okay 12p
:)
hero.
(more announcements for nbc too, please)
widh
i lived there!
.
And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead added, picked by My Bloody Valentine. limited tickets are still available.
*cries*
*buys lottery ticket*
Good choice!
ToD are always a treat live.
and one more
band to come and then the lineups done
please good lord
let it be the boredoms!!!
the comedians
picked by Patton Oswalt are:
Maria Bamford
John Mulaney
Eugene Mirman
more news coming soooooooon
Eugene Mirman
Oh, he's gonna get so fucked off with me rabbiting on about Flight of the conchords!
John Mulaney
has had to pull out i'm afraid.
for people going 17th 18th
mogwai,fuck buttons playing webster hall on the 18th.
and on the monday my bloody valentine at the roseland vs a evening with low at the mercury lounge.got tickets for low but may have to see mbv again.bonnie tylers playing on the monday also.she may win!
oh and mars volta playing 17th.
3 weeks-no money but got flight and hotel.woo!
Christmas on mars
is screening while we are there!!!
well
the winner for the monday before is Andrew WK at santos party lounge. OMGS.
on another note; Joe DeRosa replaced John Mulaney at the comedy, and the criterion film programme is pantwettingly stupendous.
There are loads
of interesting gigs in New York City on the 2 days before ATP NY.
17th
Sigur Ros @ United Palace Theatre
The Mars Volta @ Hammerstein Ballroom
Sunset Rubdown @ Mercury Lounge
18th
Sigur Ros @ United Palace Theatre
Mogwai+Fuck Buttons @ Terminal 5
Why? + Mount Eerie @ Bowery Ballroom
The Stills @ Music Hall Of Williamsburg
Oppenheimer @ Mercury Lounge
Flying back on Monday night but MBV, Low et al play ATP any way so not too bothered.
I was under the impression,
both Low and sigur Ros were sold out.We fly out on the Monday, a few days up in camping in the Catskill Mountains after ATP. And back to New York for the weekend. A proper holiday like.
as if lightning bolt need 15mins or are gonna wait 15mins till they start playing after shellac.
Fantastic., no major clashes for me.
That bus ride seems incredibly cheap.
The regular bus
is $58 return and then you will have to pay for a cab from the bus terminal to the hotel/venue. This is an excellent deal.
so is anyone going to
the mogwai/fuck buttons gig on thursday.also 3 days...... FUCK!!!!!
i think i'll be up at the site
by then! arrrrrrgh!
No.
But I did manage to get Sigur Ros tickets for Thursday.
We fly out on Monday. FUCK indeed!
jamie
you going to that "an evening with low"
thing on the monday?
and is anyone replacing
Autolux?
sorry no replacement for them
no i wont be at the low thing, probably seeing Andrew WK that night
No
because they both play at ATP NY.
I'm leaning towards Why?/Mount Eerie at the moment for Thursday.
yes
I'll be at that.
oops
I meant the Mogwai/Fuck Buttons gig on Thursday
i am totally off tomorrow
to NYC.
see you all in monticello!
fucker
I'm not jealous. At all
I'm also on an early flight tomorrow.
If you see an older chap, in glasses, probably wearing a Lords or Nervous Kid t-shirt(I can't imagine there being that many)at ATP, feel free to come say hello. I may even buy you a shandy.
sounds good
see you there :D
i saw you
i was like,oh wow a lords tshirt.i was this close to talking to you
10/10
Best.Festival.Ever.
(more tomorrow)
totally the best festival ever
i"m still on a high.
Highlights
- Thurston Moore and his nonchalant delivery of Psychic Hearts: “You do realise I wrote this record in one morning?” But with Chris Brokaw and Steve Shelley in his backing band, it sounded probably even better now then when it was first recorded
- Patton Oswalt, his Uncle Touchy Naked Puzzle Basement and other acerbic gags unsuitable for politically correct audience
- Built to Spill first running perfectly through Perfect From Now On, and then closing their encore with a blistering version of Car, my favourite BTS song of all time
- Apse proving to be a lot more meaty than on record, driven by urgent rhythms and creating fantastic triple guitar-based droning rock.
- Harmonia and the greatest irony of ironies, as they overlapped with Fuck Buttons, who appear to have borrowed more than one influence from these kraut-rock legends. People left the venue in tears afterwards.
- Low having recovered from the trauma that was the End Of The Road festival. A chatty Alan Sparhawk, instead of trying to decapitate his fans with his guitar, invites everyone instead for an early Sunday morning jog around the lake (only two people took up the offer). And they played their new, slightly dark Christmas song, Santa’s Comin’ Over
- Les Savy Fav’s Tim Harrington creating his now customary pandemonium. Dressed up like a madman? Check. Adolescent fan being sexually molested (simulated)? Check. Carried around the hall by the audience atop a giant step ladder? Check. Massive stage invasion finale? Check. The choice between this and the beard-stroking qualities of A Silver Mount Zion wasn’t too difficult in the end.
- Lightning Bolt at ear piercing volume getting very intimate with an ecstatic audience. And did you know that Brian Chippendale used to go to school with Tim Harrington? An emotional reunion ensued.
- The Wounded Knees and their strangely hypnotising fuzz-driven folk. Led by Kevin Shields’ little brother Jimi and being joined by J Mascis for the final song.
- Mogwai kicking off with two new songs before hitting hard with more or less a greatest hits set. Stuart Braithwaite smiling from ear to ear and gushing how honoured he was to play with his heroes Dinosaur and MBV. Nothing indicated the drama that was about to follow immediately after.
- My Bloody Valentine taking revenge for the relatively disappointing London shows. This time it was just as loud, but clear and crisp as well, so you could actually make out what was being played. And it did help that standing about 10ft away from Kevin Shields meant being able to watch each and every move. A brilliant finale to a brilliant weekend.
Also: the lovely staff at Kutsher’s who did their utmost to help their visitors, from calling taxis to advising which diner to have breakfast in (go for the Miss Monticello Diner, not the Blue Moon, which is overpriced and not as good). The most unobtrusive festival security ever. The Deep End Bar with its kitsch 60s interior and rubbish DJs. The semi-circular Stardust ballroom and its sloping terrace layout, ensuring a good view for everyone. The rather louche barman in the Sportsbar. The tacky chandeliers in the stage 2 room. The boating lake. Free ice cream. Non-stop sunshine.
Best.Festival.Ever.
You've made me
incredibly jealous. I might have to sacrifice Primavera an go to this next year.
Scrifice eating and do both!
:D
I went to both
but no other festivals at all this year. I like to think I picked wisely.
shit
i wish i'd been there.
:-(
i'd like to add
- karoake with kii in the art gallery on sunday night
- seeing so many people using the piano in the marquis lounge including alex tucker and members of trail of dead (playing songs from dark side of the moon??)
- being made some sort of crazy drink by wooden shjips who were all stellar fellows
- handing out earplugs to members of mercury rev, spectrum, trail of dead
- the relief of the crowd actually being about the same as the uk one; relatively few hipsters and mostly really nice appreciative music geeks
- golf cart fun
- seeing a skunk
- criterion cinema being amaaazing
- serious look on indie rock fans faces as they faced albini at poker
- boating lake of goodness
- the pop quiz being just as hard as it is in the uk ones
- MBV AGAIN!
- many more things
- see you all next year?
Does sound very good
Although I just don't think i'd be able to bring myself to buy a ticket and book a flight for an event that's thousands of miles away :(
I had to walk
past that grand piano every time I had to go to the room. The later it got the more wasted the people playing were, culminating late on Sunday night with a guy who hit a single key about once every 30 secs, wobbling dangerously without actually falling of the stool.
As far as the crowd goes, it reminded me a lot of the people who were at the Bowlie Weekender and the early ATPs, attentive when required (you could hear a pin drop during Low) or riotous when appropriate (e.g. during the Les Savy Fav antics).
Incredible weekend
Additional/personal Highlights:
- Arriving at 2am Friday night/Saturday morning to find the Deep End bar full of grinning and quite mashed friends. It set the tone immediately.
- Mogwai,Fuck Buttons, Shellac, MBV, Lightning Bolt and what I saw of Growing.
- Kutschers. The Lake. The freedom to move between rooms and bars with drinks without being hassled. Sunday afternoon at the lake was on a par with hanging around outside the Queen Vic at Camber back in May.
- The party in room 709 on Saturday night. Possibly the best non-band fun I've ever had at ATP. Even the security guys there were hilarious. Thanks to Adam and the other guys hosting that one.
- The crowd. I was stuck doing merch for a while but I met so many amazing people there that it was a highlight rather than a drag.
- The last three hours in The Deep End bar on the last night
- The weather being an ATP fan
Lowlights:
- Monday morning
- Martin Bulloch being taken to hospital
- The Deep End ceiling paint falling like snow onto my vinyl when I DJed on Friday
It really was brilliant, on a par with Primavera
can i just say thankyou to
barry,deborah,jamie,shaun,adrian etc etc for such a brilliant time!!!one day i think a festival should be held just for you.so you actually get to see the bands you love!!!!
we won the quiz
apparantly!nightcock!!have no recelection of this!!but we got a hotel room and 4 tickets for next year.WOO!!!
damn
see you then.
THANKS
jamie
wow
that's amazing that you won the quiz. Even better that you didn't realise.
Are the prizes for the quiz
normally that good? I've never tried it before. Think I'll have to arrange with my friends to give that a go in december now..
number one prize
is always a chalet for the next fest, runner up / bonus prizes usually cds/posters/tshirts
Got home today.
An absolutely fantastic weekend.
Probably too many highlights to mention.
With the only downers being missing most of Bob Mould, and having a hissy fit at MBV and walking out after the first song. To be honest, I thought the wait was taking the piss. In 5 years of going to ATP's, I've never witnessed a band pull what appeared to be a "rock star" keep em waiting move.
I apologise to anyone who happened to me (I have hazy memories of meeting Jamie) as I got seriously hammered, on Sunday night. And anyone who was unfortunate to witness my attempts a dancing in the bar.
The Rayleigh is probably the most scary, funny and bizarre hotel I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The school bus as shuttle bus was a work of genius.
Thanks to all involved.
the rayliegh
was a work of genius.but will be glad to stay in kutsners next year.the bus driver taking an hour and a half to do a ten min trip on the sat so he could drop random friends off seemed funny at the time.but thinking back.........
so back in manchester...boy it sucks here:(
I think you are right about Kutshers,
for next time.
I have no recollection about the trip back on Sunday, but my wife tells me we detoured into Monticello to drop people off. She also tells me, it was partly my idea...
Anyone know who the bear was yet.
me me me
i feel so smug.just remembered i got a ticket.that makes me feel so much better after the come down of primavera.thankyou!!!
cool!
i didnt know you were coming. good work.
Jamie...
...any idea when the rest of the line up will be announced?

Lol
as if lightning bolt need 15mins or are gonna wait 15mins till they start playing after shellac.
Fantastic., no major clashes for me.
That bus ride seems incredibly cheap.
The regular bus
is $58 return and then you will have to pay for a cab from the bus terminal to the hotel/venue. This is an excellent deal.
so is anyone going to
the mogwai/fuck buttons gig on thursday.also 3 days...... FUCK!!!!!
i think i'll be up at the site
by then! arrrrrrgh!
No.
But I did manage to get Sigur Ros tickets for Thursday.
We fly out on Monday. FUCK indeed!
jamie
you going to that "an evening with low"
thing on the monday?
and is anyone replacing
Autolux?
sorry no replacement for them
no i wont be at the low thing, probably seeing Andrew WK that night
No
because they both play at ATP NY.
I'm leaning towards Why?/Mount Eerie at the moment for Thursday.
yes
I'll be at that.
oops
I meant the Mogwai/Fuck Buttons gig on Thursday
i am totally off tomorrow
to NYC.
see you all in monticello!
fucker
I'm not jealous. At all
I'm also on an early flight tomorrow.
If you see an older chap, in glasses, probably wearing a Lords or Nervous Kid t-shirt(I can't imagine there being that many)at ATP, feel free to come say hello. I may even buy you a shandy.
sounds good
see you there :D
i saw you
i was like,oh wow a lords tshirt.i was this close to talking to you
10/10
Best.Festival.Ever.
(more tomorrow)
totally the best festival ever
i"m still on a high.
Highlights
- Thurston Moore and his nonchalant delivery of Psychic Hearts: “You do realise I wrote this record in one morning?” But with Chris Brokaw and Steve Shelley in his backing band, it sounded probably even better now then when it was first recorded
- Patton Oswalt, his Uncle Touchy Naked Puzzle Basement and other acerbic gags unsuitable for politically correct audience
- Built to Spill first running perfectly through Perfect From Now On, and then closing their encore with a blistering version of Car, my favourite BTS song of all time
- Apse proving to be a lot more meaty than on record, driven by urgent rhythms and creating fantastic triple guitar-based droning rock.
- Harmonia and the greatest irony of ironies, as they overlapped with Fuck Buttons, who appear to have borrowed more than one influence from these kraut-rock legends. People left the venue in tears afterwards.
- Low having recovered from the trauma that was the End Of The Road festival. A chatty Alan Sparhawk, instead of trying to decapitate his fans with his guitar, invites everyone instead for an early Sunday morning jog around the lake (only two people took up the offer). And they played their new, slightly dark Christmas song, Santa’s Comin’ Over
- Les Savy Fav’s Tim Harrington creating his now customary pandemonium. Dressed up like a madman? Check. Adolescent fan being sexually molested (simulated)? Check. Carried around the hall by the audience atop a giant step ladder? Check. Massive stage invasion finale? Check. The choice between this and the beard-stroking qualities of A Silver Mount Zion wasn’t too difficult in the end.
- Lightning Bolt at ear piercing volume getting very intimate with an ecstatic audience. And did you know that Brian Chippendale used to go to school with Tim Harrington? An emotional reunion ensued.
- The Wounded Knees and their strangely hypnotising fuzz-driven folk. Led by Kevin Shields’ little brother Jimi and being joined by J Mascis for the final song.
- Mogwai kicking off with two new songs before hitting hard with more or less a greatest hits set. Stuart Braithwaite smiling from ear to ear and gushing how honoured he was to play with his heroes Dinosaur and MBV. Nothing indicated the drama that was about to follow immediately after.
- My Bloody Valentine taking revenge for the relatively disappointing London shows. This time it was just as loud, but clear and crisp as well, so you could actually make out what was being played. And it did help that standing about 10ft away from Kevin Shields meant being able to watch each and every move. A brilliant finale to a brilliant weekend.
Also: the lovely staff at Kutsher’s who did their utmost to help their visitors, from calling taxis to advising which diner to have breakfast in (go for the Miss Monticello Diner, not the Blue Moon, which is overpriced and not as good). The most unobtrusive festival security ever. The Deep End Bar with its kitsch 60s interior and rubbish DJs. The semi-circular Stardust ballroom and its sloping terrace layout, ensuring a good view for everyone. The rather louche barman in the Sportsbar. The tacky chandeliers in the stage 2 room. The boating lake. Free ice cream. Non-stop sunshine.
Best.Festival.Ever.
You've made me
incredibly jealous. I might have to sacrifice Primavera an go to this next year.
Scrifice eating and do both!
:D
I went to both
but no other festivals at all this year. I like to think I picked wisely.
shit
i wish i'd been there.
:-(
i'd like to add
- karoake with kii in the art gallery on sunday night
- seeing so many people using the piano in the marquis lounge including alex tucker and members of trail of dead (playing songs from dark side of the moon??)
- being made some sort of crazy drink by wooden shjips who were all stellar fellows
- handing out earplugs to members of mercury rev, spectrum, trail of dead
- the relief of the crowd actually being about the same as the uk one; relatively few hipsters and mostly really nice appreciative music geeks
- golf cart fun
- seeing a skunk
- criterion cinema being amaaazing
- serious look on indie rock fans faces as they faced albini at poker
- boating lake of goodness
- the pop quiz being just as hard as it is in the uk ones
- MBV AGAIN!
- many more things
- see you all next year?
Does sound very good
Although I just don't think i'd be able to bring myself to buy a ticket and book a flight for an event that's thousands of miles away :(
I had to walk
past that grand piano every time I had to go to the room. The later it got the more wasted the people playing were, culminating late on Sunday night with a guy who hit a single key about once every 30 secs, wobbling dangerously without actually falling of the stool.
As far as the crowd goes, it reminded me a lot of the people who were at the Bowlie Weekender and the early ATPs, attentive when required (you could hear a pin drop during Low) or riotous when appropriate (e.g. during the Les Savy Fav antics).
Incredible weekend
Additional/personal Highlights:
- Arriving at 2am Friday night/Saturday morning to find the Deep End bar full of grinning and quite mashed friends. It set the tone immediately.
- Mogwai,Fuck Buttons, Shellac, MBV, Lightning Bolt and what I saw of Growing.
- Kutschers. The Lake. The freedom to move between rooms and bars with drinks without being hassled. Sunday afternoon at the lake was on a par with hanging around outside the Queen Vic at Camber back in May.
- The party in room 709 on Saturday night. Possibly the best non-band fun I've ever had at ATP. Even the security guys there were hilarious. Thanks to Adam and the other guys hosting that one.
- The crowd. I was stuck doing merch for a while but I met so many amazing people there that it was a highlight rather than a drag.
- The last three hours in The Deep End bar on the last night
- The weather being an ATP fan
Lowlights:
- Monday morning
- Martin Bulloch being taken to hospital
- The Deep End ceiling paint falling like snow onto my vinyl when I DJed on Friday
It really was brilliant, on a par with Primavera
can i just say thankyou to
barry,deborah,jamie,shaun,adrian etc etc for such a brilliant time!!!one day i think a festival should be held just for you.so you actually get to see the bands you love!!!!
we won the quiz
apparantly!nightcock!!have no recelection of this!!but we got a hotel room and 4 tickets for next year.WOO!!!
damn
see you then.
THANKS
jamie
wow
that's amazing that you won the quiz. Even better that you didn't realise.
Are the prizes for the quiz
normally that good? I've never tried it before. Think I'll have to arrange with my friends to give that a go in december now..
number one prize
is always a chalet for the next fest, runner up / bonus prizes usually cds/posters/tshirts
Got home today.
An absolutely fantastic weekend.
Probably too many highlights to mention.
With the only downers being missing most of Bob Mould, and having a hissy fit at MBV and walking out after the first song. To be honest, I thought the wait was taking the piss. In 5 years of going to ATP's, I've never witnessed a band pull what appeared to be a "rock star" keep em waiting move.
I apologise to anyone who happened to me (I have hazy memories of meeting Jamie) as I got seriously hammered, on Sunday night. And anyone who was unfortunate to witness my attempts a dancing in the bar.
The Rayleigh is probably the most scary, funny and bizarre hotel I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The school bus as shuttle bus was a work of genius.
Thanks to all involved.
the rayliegh
was a work of genius.but will be glad to stay in kutsners next year.the bus driver taking an hour and a half to do a ten min trip on the sat so he could drop random friends off seemed funny at the time.but thinking back.........
so back in manchester...boy it sucks here:(
I think you are right about Kutshers,
for next time.
I have no recollection about the trip back on Sunday, but my wife tells me we detoured into Monticello to drop people off. She also tells me, it was partly my idea...
Anyone know who the bear was yet.
