Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more

More names have been added to April's All Tomorrow's Parties bill.

The event, curated by Vincent Gallo (pictured), takes place over the weekend of April 22, 23 and 24. Again, as always, it's held at Camber Sands Pontins, on the south coast. Details here. New acts announced include:

Jon Foxx
Trapist
Sean Lennon
The Zombies
Trapist
Autolux
John Frusciante
Jayne County
Nikolai Haas
Prefuse 73
Afrirampo
Women and Children
Magik Markers
The Tints

Already announced are Polly Jean Harvey (playing solo), The Blues Explosion, Peaches and Suicide, not to mention Gallo himself who will play a set.

Tickets are £120, which includes your chalet accommodation. There's an on-site swimming pool (awesome on the Sunday) and an arcade with those dancing games that drunk girls seem to like so much. One year they had that House Of The Dead, too, which I wasted all my beer money on. D'oh.

Thank heavens, then, that there's an on-site shop that accepts plastic! And that sells BEER!

Tickets can be purchased directly through the ATP website (link above) or in person from Stargreen (20a Argyll Street, London; 020 7734 8932), Piccadilly Box Office (St Anne's Square, Manchester; 0161 832 1111), and Radio City Box Office (St Johns Centre, Liverpool).

What, dance dance revolution? yeah that rocks. and I'm not a drunk girl.

Damn I want to go

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more

Dunno.
On this week's Silver Rocket mailout, Rachel said she got a little addicted to said machines.
I'm scared of them... I only like games with BIG FUCKING GUNS.
I wanna go to this. Maybe I will...

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus

they have House of the Dead I and II, oh yeah.

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus

SHIT.
I... am... so... there.
"Take that you undwad piece of crap, and THAT and THAT and THISSSS!!!!"
You? Want a go? Get to fuck...

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus

'undwad'?
Awesome.
I mean 'undead', obviously.

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus

JAMES FUCKING CHANCE!

Anyone go the Slint one? Any chance of a DinS write up of it?

I attended and am compelled to say that Mogwai and and Slint were mindblowing, but, perhaps rather controversially, that Mogwai were better!

Any views????!?

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more

There was this game at a bowling alley in bedford which had BIG HUGE FUCKING GUNS that were so big you needed, like, two arms OF STEEL to hold them. You were defending the Earth from little grey aliens with their BIG HUGE ROBOTS and it was, truely, great. I wish I could remember the name..

Time Crisis 3 is hella fun, as well. There's this 24hr arcade in Stansted Airport that has it, and I have many fond memories of playing it there on a 3am break during an all night coach journey back to London, while somewhere very fishy between drunk and sober..

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more

A write up has been discussed.
DiScussed.
A new recruit is charged with delivering a report.
Can 'ee guess who...?

I suggest no one actually watches Gallo in an attempt to slightly deflate his Jupiter-sized ego.

Although he'd probably think that no one was watching him because no one could comprehend his sheer genius...or something.

Trapist.
so good they were named twice :)

Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73

ARGH. Suicide!!!! During exams. Speaking of the Slint one, I am desperate to find a listing of the TV programs they ran on channel 6 last weekend, would be eternally grateful if DiS or anyone else could help me out. :)

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more

Any clues???

Am not too familiar with the new recruits...

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus

The House of the Dead 1 machine is broken. The red gun trigger's busted. Of course, I didn't notice until I had already put in my quid. I thought I had the power of the gods in my hands... And then... All for naught.

One of of the guns on the HOTD2 machine is a bit dodgy, too. And the rearmost pad on the dancing game's right pad is unresponsive as hell.

They have this frickin' awesome sniping game, though.

Im probably going to be shouted at here, but is that not one of the poorer line uos for A.T.P.?

I like Gallo's films, was kind of taken up the garden path with his two albums, and i dont find his choices particularly appealing.

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more

I wuz going to say was that directed at me?!?! Call me a drunk girl would you? Wellioughta..oh, wait a minute, you're right. Although I'm not drunk now so there pththththththt!!!!

I like games with big fucking guns too, if that helps, but not as much as I like the dancing game. It's a kind of madness that descends on me at ATP, I can't watch any bands without thinking "ooh i gotta go on that bloody dancing game again". Even the Melvins. I had to go and dance during the Melvins. I'm SOOOO ashamed.

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus

Yeah that's true about the dancing game rear pad. And on the other side it sticks on and gives you a "poor" even when you stand on it at the right time. But have you seen the indie kids stomping away on those things? No bloody surprise that they break, I'll bet they have to change the floor pads every time after ATP.

God I really gotta get myself one of those "life" thingys or whatever they call them now.

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more

Who the hell is Vincent Gallo anyway? I only know him as that leather jumpsuited twat from last year's ATP cos he was hanging round with Polly Jean. Wasn't he selling some kind of merch for ridiculous prices?

Please excuse my ignorance. Too busy thinking about the dancing game to pay any attention to anything.

Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus

Fookin' Brainlove, innit?

missing in action.

i'm going to miss this and i can't even explain how sad i am about it. fuck! gallo, frusciante, peaches, suicide, PJ harvey.. it's the ultimate.
