On the Kristin Hersh forum - her husband says Tanya Donelly would rejoin Throwing Muses at the ATP show if asked. Jamie, can you ask your boss to tell the Breeders people to sort this out, please? Thanks.
(PS - A Belly reunion and Tanya Donelly solo show would also be great, while you're doing the asking. Ta!)
I actually tried to post on this very subject before, but the internet wouldn't let me.
I am sure I have heard that Kim Deal is totally into this idea, also. If it happens, I absolutely swear, I will shit my pants. Then I'll take them off, put them on again inside out, and shit them again.
I was completely set on buying tickets for Fans Strike Back tonight, and now this happens. As long as Trail Of Dead aren't announced, I'm all about the 'fans' one.
Six berth booked for Breeders-stock. Don't suppose that means we're allowed to vote for the other one? I don't mind if none of the stuff gets booked, I just like voting for things.
was attempted here last night. I was pushing for the cha-ladies to go to the Vs the Fans weekend instead/as well. Want to see what their votes would be. Cud, Echobelly and Lenny Kravitz never played ATP before did they? We'd have noticed.
I see from flyers handed out at the roundhouse show last night that they are over in May as support for the rescheduled Counting Crows tour. And they have free dates on 15th and 17th May - around the cardiff show. Ideal opportunity for them to play ATP, yes?
but if it were, at least they would still be worth the attention.
Call me an ungrateful cunt, but that's one pair of underwhelming selections Kim + co have made. I do hope it's cos the big offers are still under consideration...
although I hate to also sound ungratefull but I hope there are less foals/css type selections as I can always skip a band I'm not into, but I fear it may attract a proportionate amount of twats to the audience...
Er yeah but other than that can't wait to see Deerhunter and Teenage Fanclub! More 4AD lovelyness such as Cass McCombs and It Hugs Back would be ace, would love to see Fog play an ATP too.
big brouhaha about it on their website, might as well pop over to Minehead while they're at it, right? I want it to happen so much that I've made it a fact in my head.
I was at the Patton/Melvins atp and the pavillion wasn't in use for bands.
It seems like a shit place to have bands on.
Does it become the second stage? and Reds the smallest stage then?
Is it not really echo-ey and drowned about by the arcade machines at the back and all the people trudging past?
Are they even using it for the May ones? I hope not.
It worked out fine at the last NBC and that had 40+ bands on.
to see more female oriented stuff at this really.
Stuff like Evangelista, Laura Veirs, Amanda Palmer, Camera Obscura, Nina Nastasia etc
In mah opinion.
I reckon we'll get our announcement tomorrow/thursday.
And yes, Wedding Present would be amazing.
Gedge said somewhere that they've never been asked to do an atp! Shocking.
Depends if Breeders are even into them of course.
Hopefully they are, and Stereolab for that matter.
I'd kill to see the master list of bands they submitted for this.
Where you with me for that Wedding Present show at Portsmouth Pyramids where Gedge was talking about the flumes? In conclusion - Gedge bloody loves a fun pool.
I just breathed a sigh of relief that Xiu Xiu can't do vs the fans.
That would have pissed me off. There's still a bunch on that line-up I'd like to see though that will hopefully play Manchester aswell.
Can you not lock Grails in their chalet for a week and make them play at this one too?
Anyone have any experience of the Taunton Station to Minehead bus service that runs? Does it take ages? How big are the queues? Can you book tickets in adv. etc - TIA
people complain about waiting but if you book in advance and turn up at the right time it's never a problem. takes about an hour and a half depending on traffic.
at a recent gig?
According to a few people on lastfm, Melt Banana are down on the flyer as playing at this.
No offical confirmation yet but this happened with Harvey Milk for the fans one the other day and they've since been confirmed for that.
If it is true then it's excellent news! They're definitely the kind of band we need at this. It's gonna be mosh pit time again like Taraf De Haidouks and The Locust at the last one!
Thank you muchly, that's made my day.
I think they're now the band I'm most looking forward to seeing at this.
It's gonna be ACE!
I want to go home now and stick Cell Scape on stupidly loud.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa...
if you want to be on a waiting list to get one of a bunch of 2 berth chalets that were previously held back for production purposes, email feedback@atpfestival.com
have suspiciously ATP-shaped hole in their UK itinerary. Admittedly, their spare UK date is down as London TBD on their site, but Americans think everything south of Glasgow is London, so mabe they can be duped.
on all the other bands we have heard of!
Dianogah and Distortion Felix both sound very promising from their bio's though.
How many more artists should we expect to be announced, roughly?
i am looking forward to seeing lots of new bands, but jamie please could we have an easter treat and have the final few bands being more of a popular draw? wedding present are twiddling their thumbs now that their appearance at red live festival is cancelled.
I'm thinking of starting a rumour that Pixies will be playing at Minehead - would you be able to confirm whether or not the value in doing so will be in:
a) It actually happening and me looking like a semi-coherent Nostradamus, or,
b) That there's not the slightest possibility of it ever happening but I will be able to wind up friends and acquaintances good and proper.
...that the ATP website refers to the three venues as Centre Stage, Reds and Crazy Horse - so, nothing in the Pavilion this time then? Does this mean the capacity of the event is smaller this time (compared to EITS, which was the only other Minehead one I've been to)?
I didn't watch anything at the cinema at the last NBC but I may end doing this time.
Seeing as it looks like it's going to be raining all weekend.
So the beach is out then, ah well, atleast there's shitloads of decent bands to be watching indoors!
BirthdAyTP
amazing :D
Mine too!
when the hells your birthday, Siobhan?
may 16th
yours?

Well well

^ not going
now
Right definately going
to the other one in may now!
No way...
...am I sharing a chalet with you again if you do this.
two new additions to the lineup:
http://www.atpfestival.com/atp/Events/ATPBreeders/News.php
Cool
They should ask adam green to show up though, but kimya dawson is still a good 1 to have all the same.
tickets!!
http://www.lastminute.com/site/entertainment/theatre/event-product.html?skin=engb.lastminute.com&eventID=707741423-1&ticketOnly=1&pageSize=25&catID=95901&sortBy=nameASC&intcmp=music_hero_metallica
:p
Deerhunter
added to the lineup. fucking aceness.
good work
it's turning out to be a real 4AD fest. Now can we have Stereolab please.?
ivo?
yes, and while we're at it, any chance of healing old wounds and getting the cocteau twins back together come may?
GANG OF FOUR
and
SHELLAC (house band)
confirmed
what do you mean by (house band)?
for fuck sake
I was completely set on buying tickets for Fans Strike Back tonight, and now this happens. As long as Trail Of Dead aren't announced, I'm all about the 'fans' one.
Aces
I am assuming House Band means they are gong to play between every other act every day.
I. Can't. Wait.
deposit scheme ending today
get in there quick if you want ti
*it
In!
Six berth booked for Breeders-stock. Don't suppose that means we're allowed to vote for the other one? I don't mind if none of the stuff gets booked, I just like voting for things.
in!
sixer just booked here too. Can we have the chalet next to the wolfpack party please?
excellent
Am hoping that the she-let has been shamed into ticket action too.
The hoe-tel
has gone hard quiet, but i am sure it will happen. They bloody love pit-er-pat or whatever they are called.
some late night de-miffling
was attempted here last night. I was pushing for the cha-ladies to go to the Vs the Fans weekend instead/as well. Want to see what their votes would be. Cud, Echobelly and Lenny Kravitz never played ATP before did they? We'd have noticed.
Is this how we communicate now Andrew
Is it?
ha!
right, I'm going to write you a letter.
fax it me
ta.
Oh and the residents of the babe-bunker seem to all be emailing now. Bloody copy cats.
four new additions
check the site!
Foals!?
I'd like to see ZH though.
I wish it was May now
Did anyone go to ATP NY? Worth going next year?
new addition
to the lineup, check the site
Hold Steady
I see from flyers handed out at the roundhouse show last night that they are over in May as support for the rescheduled Counting Crows tour. And they have free dates on 15th and 17th May - around the cardiff show. Ideal opportunity for them to play ATP, yes?
Good spot
That has to be a shoo-in right?
2 person room onlys and 3 person
chalets are selling out/sold out on seetickets and wegottickets
CSS
and Supersuckers added to lineup
CSS
is it 2006?
No
but if it were, at least they would still be worth the attention.
Call me an ungrateful cunt, but that's one pair of underwhelming selections Kim + co have made. I do hope it's cos the big offers are still under consideration...
This line up needs
Buck 65. Playing in Redz. Late.
Just saying.
Looks like I'm going to this now.
Hope the Hold Steady play...
Cant wait
although I hate to also sound ungratefull but I hope there are less foals/css type selections as I can always skip a band I'm not into, but I fear it may attract a proportionate amount of twats to the audience...
Er yeah but other than that can't wait to see Deerhunter and Teenage Fanclub! More 4AD lovelyness such as Cass McCombs and It Hugs Back would be ace, would love to see Fog play an ATP too.
I'm hoping for stuff along the lines of
Beach House, The Fall, Wedding Present, Stereolab, Besnard Lakes, Low etc
Any of those would fit right in I think.
beastie boys
doing a twentieth anniversary Paul's Boutique 'Don't Look Back' set. Thank you very much.
That would be pretty amazing
remastered cd (with commentary) out in March/April (I think)
big brouhaha about it on their website, might as well pop over to Minehead while they're at it, right? I want it to happen so much that I've made it a fact in my head.
New additions (please)
Wedding Present
Stereolab
50 Foot Wave
The House of Love
Land of Talk
The The
Ladytron
Kingmaker
What happens with the Pavillion?
I was at the Patton/Melvins atp and the pavillion wasn't in use for bands.
It seems like a shit place to have bands on.
Does it become the second stage? and Reds the smallest stage then?
Is it not really echo-ey and drowned about by the arcade machines at the back and all the people trudging past?
Are they even using it for the May ones? I hope not.
It worked out fine at the last NBC and that had 40+ bands on.
i think
that was just for the patton thing as they didn't sell enough tickets. I read somewhere on this site that the pavilion is back for the may events.
it was for the patton thing
because a lot of the bands were too loud to play in there so we had to drop the capacity so that everyone could see them in the smaller venues.
it'll be back for may.
dear atp
can you also book:
School of Seven Bells
She & Him
Joy Wants Eternity
thanks.
Swervedriver
Summers - Swervedriver.
No messing - Swervedriver.
surely
Breeders and Bon Iver are two of the pavilion stage headliners?
Are there
any tasty morsels for this on the horizon?
It's all gone quiet now I've bought tickets!
new addition to the lineup
check the site
Had to restrain a 'whoop' of joy there! :-D
Hope it's a more accordion-based set than last time!
i want to come to this atp so fucking bad
if this is going to be a 4AD-fest
then ATP had better book the latest signings... Camera Obscura!
They're on 4AD now?
Blimey!
I'd love it if they were there. They'd fit right in.
New album soon too...
Yep
they've just joined the rosta
or
roster even
I'd like
to see more female oriented stuff at this really.
Stuff like Evangelista, Laura Veirs, Amanda Palmer, Camera Obscura, Nina Nastasia etc
In mah opinion.
dear kim
please book superchunk, kthxbye
eagerly awaiting
new additions
Vivian Girls are playing Great Escape
the same weekend (well, close enough)
BOK THEM!
They'd be fantastic in Reds.
Book even,
Although i would Bok them for sure.
When are the next additions to this?
I really wanna book my tickets this week.
pretty soon
could murder an update for Breeders-stock
beginning to worry we're going to the wrong weekend... two bands I love and four I've never heard of would be brilliant.
likewise
I've got the ATP fever, keep checking for updates too bloody often.
It's not good for me.
A good handful of bands to keep us quiet please!
should be an update soon
we are indeed trying to get a handful ready to announce at once
Cool
Def need a bit of a pep on this one. Dunno maybe something that rhymes with pervdriver would suffice....
Me and Homesick_Tomlien have our chalet booked
I'm gonna tear some shit up. I'm far too excited.
Pale Saints added!
That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Fingers Crossed
for Cocteau Twins
and
Swervedriver
i think that today
is the day for an update. it should be, anyway.
I hope so
I am so ready. Jonathan Richman and Shearwater on their way I reckon... Wish it was May today.
I can't stress how strongly I feel about
Swervedriver playing.
if it's a non starter
we could try and get them for Pasties on the Thursday?
That would be good.
We would happily make way for them. You are still headlining though.
Dear ATP
you owe us at least another 22 bands for this festival.
Please announce the next batch of confirmations.
If you are stuck for ideas, may I suggest asking the Wedding Present as they are currently booking up shows.
I think David Gedge would like the Lazy River.
Also, will you be showing the ATP film?
Thanks.
haha "you owe us..."
Has it come to this?!
I reckon we'll get our announcement tomorrow/thursday.
And yes, Wedding Present would be amazing.
Gedge said somewhere that they've never been asked to do an atp! Shocking.
Depends if Breeders are even into them of course.
Hopefully they are, and Stereolab for that matter.
I'd kill to see the master list of bands they submitted for this.
Kmart
Where you with me for that Wedding Present show at Portsmouth Pyramids where Gedge was talking about the flumes? In conclusion - Gedge bloody loves a fun pool.
it's still 3 months away
calm down
Shut it
It is all some of us have to live for.
New additions
X
Whispertown2000
Is it bad that I've never heard of X?
Who?
These 'legendary punk bands' that they always get for ATP are almost always rubbish, no matter how good they were in their day.
kids nowadays! etc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(U.S._band)
very happy
with Whispertown - they have girls in the band and everything.
x
excellent, shame i'm not going to this one.
Both seem like
something I might like, will have to investigate these.
A bit of rockabilly/punk wouldn't go amiss at all!
Can't say I'm not underwhelmed though. My initial reaction was 'who?' aswell.
Might we get some more by the end of the week?
we're aiming on a nice bunch of stuff for next week
but as ever
don't take that as writ
That's cool with me
Keep 'em coming!
I just breathed a sigh of relief that Xiu Xiu can't do vs the fans.
That would have pissed me off. There's still a bunch on that line-up I'd like to see though that will hopefully play Manchester aswell.
Can you not lock Grails in their chalet for a week and make them play at this one too?
i think almost half of the bands on the lineup have women involved
Approve
of this fact
Lost - award offered
Kim Deal's little black book
Jamie
Who did the artwork for the Breeders ATP poster? Is it Tara McPherson? If so - will she have an exhibition with prints for sale at the event?
hi, yes i believe it is
not sure of an exhibition, haven't been told anything at this point about that
The Hold Steady and Andrew Bird...
...have conspicuously ATP-shaped holes in their respective May UK tours. I'm sure they'd love to play if asked...
Download
have got Def Leppard and Limp Bizkit. Please could we have those too? Limp Bizkit in Reds, Saturday night at 1am would be great.
AC Newman?
Playing Luminaire in Kilburn on 19 May - in the UK to do ATP? Hope so!
bus?
Anyone have any experience of the Taunton Station to Minehead bus service that runs? Does it take ages? How big are the queues? Can you book tickets in adv. etc - TIA
we'll have info up about how to book in advance on the website.
people complain about waiting but if you book in advance and turn up at the right time it's never a problem. takes about an hour and a half depending on traffic.
lovely...
thanks jamie - will check the site!
Finally, a new addition!
Blood Red Shoes - good choice.
Why is this not up on ATP site? (Band have confirmed on their site)
not that I can see
on their site or myspace page anyway.
the news article with details
was removed from BRS' website yesterday afternoon - maybe they were told not to say anything until ATP had announced it?
Jesus I hope not
New additions on the ATP site
Tricky, Blood Red Shoes and some hip hop stuff.
Sweet
great news
The trouble is
you announced all the good bands first. In future please start with Tricky and then build up to Teenage Fanclub please.
Anyone picked a flyer up for this
at a recent gig?
According to a few people on lastfm, Melt Banana are down on the flyer as playing at this.
No offical confirmation yet but this happened with Harvey Milk for the fans one the other day and they've since been confirmed for that.
If it is true then it's excellent news! They're definitely the kind of band we need at this. It's gonna be mosh pit time again like Taraf De Haidouks and The Locust at the last one!
Holy crap
that would be incredible!
Melt-Banana?!
HOORAY!
update on site
on chalet situation, lots of options running out at the moment
please confirm melt-banana today.
Go on, press buttons, click some things, actually do it, make it so.
Thanks
CONFIRMED.
YES!
Thank you muchly, that's made my day.
I think they're now the band I'm most looking forward to seeing at this.
It's gonna be ACE!
I want to go home now and stick Cell Scape on stupidly loud.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa...
Giant Sand
Th' Faith Healers
Madlib & J. Rocc
Heartless Bastards
Juan Son
Tara McPherson art exhibition
all confirmed
And Giant Sand...?
According to the site?
Yes
I cannot read.
Ignore that.
.
if you want to be on a waiting list to get one of a bunch of 2 berth chalets that were previously held back for production purposes, email feedback@atpfestival.com
i'm now hungry for more again, please
like the wolf
'kin right
gotta be at least 10-12 more bands to come eh?
still holding out hope for stereolab...
or
anyone as good as the first six bands to be announced. Cos, let's face it...
I'd love some more announcements too
The last lot was pretty underwhelming.
We might have to wait though, everyone's got boners for the fans one at the moment This Breeders one seems to be taking a back seat.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
have suspiciously ATP-shaped hole in their UK itinerary. Admittedly, their spare UK date is down as London TBD on their site, but Americans think everything south of Glasgow is London, so mabe they can be duped.
Anything on the horizon this week?
Just thinking that Low would be a great addition! Seeing as two of them will already be in the country with RGC....
nice thought but
RGC are in Spain that weekend, having played the Fans ATP the week before...
bugger
ah well, it was worth a shot.
About the fifth time they've been mentioned...
but The Hold Steady still have the 15th and the 17th free.
wire,
the bronx,
times new viking
el mariachi bronx
confirmed!
w00t!
thanks for the update
The Frogs
confirmed; their first ever UK show and its also a uk exclusive
I note that Cursive seem to be doing a mini-UK tour round this time
Just sayin'
Any band announcements today, perhaps?
How many more left to be confirmed? 10 or so?
just to update you
taunton-minehead coaches should be on sale next week
looking forward
to the final batch of bands this week.
me too!
any chance the fuck buttons can do both?
my last chance wishlist as follows:
andrew bird
tv on the radio
stereolab
panda bear
the fall
well, i can dream can't i :-)
Stereolab is a definite no :(
They're having a bit of a break, apparently.
I'm hoping for The Fall, The Wedding Present or Beach House.
We shall see.
beach house would also be great
one of my favourites from last year!
where's the best place to look
for people selling a 2-birth apartment?
what are the chances of finding one at this short notice?
who????
Dianogah, Buffalo Killers, Distortion Felix confirmed. ATP, have you forgotten to book bands we might have actually heard of!!!
They've probably spent up
on all the other bands we have heard of!
Dianogah and Distortion Felix both sound very promising from their bio's though.
How many more artists should we expect to be announced, roughly?
just a few
g.e.d.g.e.
i am looking forward to seeing lots of new bands, but jamie please could we have an easter treat and have the final few bands being more of a popular draw? wedding present are twiddling their thumbs now that their appearance at red live festival is cancelled.
I wholeheartedly concur
it's about time they played an ATP.
I'm guessing none
http://www.atpfestival.com/Events/ATPBreeders/News/0904060817.php
I was hoping for at least 1 more band that I'd heard of. Still a good line-up
dianogah are awesome
discovered them at the shellac ATP. if you've never heard of them, it's worth taking a punt.
I can also confirm
that Dianogah are ace. You lucky buggers.
the feelies
please,doing the crazy rhythms album.
Question for Mr. Summers...
I'm thinking of starting a rumour that Pixies will be playing at Minehead - would you be able to confirm whether or not the value in doing so will be in:
a) It actually happening and me looking like a semi-coherent Nostradamus, or,
b) That there's not the slightest possibility of it ever happening but I will be able to wind up friends and acquaintances good and proper.
Ta.
I'll field this one:
b)
Say it ain't so, Joe...
... say it ain't so.
For some reason
This rumour has got in my head and stuck. Would be so cool for them to wait for it to sell out then announce this.
Bastard rumour-monger.
Sorry Jimmy...
... but as with all great plans there's always the possibility of some collateral damage.
Of course, the only way to effectively protect yourself from the rumour is to spread it.
Don't worry
I have convinced myself that much, that I am now telling everyone and anyone.
By the way, see you down the front for the Pixies!
What?
Are the Pixies there?
I must go and tell everyone.
Tell
EVERYONE
Grovelling plea for Mr Summers...
When are the final few acts going to be announced? And will they make me do a wee wee?
I've just noticed...
...that the ATP website refers to the three venues as Centre Stage, Reds and Crazy Horse - so, nothing in the Pavilion this time then? Does this mean the capacity of the event is smaller this time (compared to EITS, which was the only other Minehead one I've been to)?
Sez up there
that the Pavilion is in use. Phew.
http://www.drownedinsound.com/community/boards/festivals/4140436#r4204226
oops where does it say that?
we'll fix it. we will be using the pavilion.
Yeh, but
this: http://www.drownedinsound.com/community/boards/festivals/4140436#r4539482
Here...
http://www.atpfestival.com/Events/ATPBreeders/View/FAQs.php#faqBreedersBars
I reckon
it's high time this here barn dance got wrapped up, no?
This is cute
http://www.atpfestival.com/Events/ATPBreeders/News/0904231406.php
but this doesn't count as a proper addition.
Please, Jamie. Please complete the list of rock.
Not wanting to sound like a broken record, but...
please ATP could you wrap this up, finish the line up and release the set times, thanks!
(PS - Wedding Present!)
What he said
Wedding Present or Gravenhurst even, they're only down the road in Bristol. Yeah, I know, dream on....
Oh, I got my tickets the other day. Has everyone else got theirs through yet?
last band just confirmed

jamie -
cinema times soon?
might stick those up today
gimme a few hours ;-)
Cool
I didn't watch anything at the cinema at the last NBC but I may end doing this time.
Seeing as it looks like it's going to be raining all weekend.
So the beach is out then, ah well, atleast there's shitloads of decent bands to be watching indoors!
EUROVISION
My goodness. Can the cinema be converted for a mass viewing? I only spotted this Saturday night clash the other day.
Does that qualify
as a clash?
Mind you, I am more bothered about the collision of a reformed Faith Healers set and the fateful events taking place at St James' Park.
