FOALS
Ex-Hella member and drumming genius ZACH HILL
The much hyped THE SOFT PACK (formerly The Muslims) and
LA based post-rockers THE HOLLOYS

FANS STRIKE BACK VOTE: THE FIRST TOP TWENTY!
Each week ATP approach the top 2 bands and ask them to play the festival. If they can’t do it, they approach the next two. Keep checking back here for news on how it’s going.

FANS STRIKE BACK WEEK ONE CHART:
1 Sufjan Stevens
2 My Bloody Valentine
3 Beirut

5 The Knife
6 Eels
7 MF Doom

15 MGMT
16 Electric Wizard
17 Jeffrey Lewis
18 Jesu

If all those bands in the Top 20 played any festival, it’d be the best ever… apart from perhaps MGMT who are rubbish.

Anyways - more news when we get it folks!

ATP Release The Bats - The Forum, London 30/10/08

Posted on 07 November 2008 by Ama Chana

Lightning Bolt

Lightning Bolt

Jeepers. As gigs are coming up thick and fast this time of season and after talking a good talk about having a super-cool themed costume all at the ready, I wasn’t even prepared for ‘Release The Bats’. My memory has been mush since I got taken down by the killer-man-flu fever doing the rounds though it has to be said. Better act fast. I make a phone call to my friend James the evening before, pleading with him if I can borrow his gruesome Saw-esque Pig-mask to which he duly obliges. Result. Just need to pick it up now… Cutting it a little fine though… Continue Reading

ATP 2009 Weekenders: Curators announced inside!

Posted on 31 October 2008 by Rich Thane

Aaaaaah my favourite day of the year. Halloween? Nope. Far, far more special than that. Yes, today is the day ATP announce the curators of their annual weekend festivals which will both take place at Butlins in Minehead. Looks like Camber Sands has finally being given the cheerio.

So who is curating? I bet you’ve all been guessing - my money was on Broken Social Scene (how good would that be??). It gives me great pleasure to announce that the lineups for ATP 2009 will be chosen by…….

[WEEKEND 1] ATP vs THE FANS STRIKE BACK!!!!! 

[WEEKEND 2] THE BREEDERS

Heeeeeeeell yes!

Ok, so this is what we know so far.

Weekend 1 will take place between 8th-10th May. Weekend 2 will be on 15th-17th May.

Acts already confirmed for The Breeders weekend are…. Bon Iver, The Breeders, Throwing Muses, Teenage Fanclub and Holy Fuck. (oh my god, I think I just wet myself).

Acts confirmed for ATP vs THE FANS are… (chosen by ATP) Devo, Sleep, Spiritualized and Grails. Now get this… there are some new rules that have been put in place this year.. ATP have decided to make things more interesting, NO BANDS that have ever played an ATP festival before will be allowed to be voted for. Wowzers. That is going to be one HELL of a great lineup. 

Can I go to both please?

More news as we get it.. But for now, read all the info you need on purchasing tickets etc from the ATP website. I’m off now to dance around the room like a crazy loon.

I <3 ATP.

You got your SCARY costumes ready yet then? No? Well you better act fast and get your thinking caps on because there is only a couple of days left until the mega ATP Release The Bats shows at Kentish Town Forum and Birmingham Custard Factory.. Yes, as well as a stellar lineup (Shellac / Les Savy Fav (London Dates Only) / Wooden Shjips / Pissed Jeans / Lightning Bolt + DJ Andy Weatherall) ATP also invite all Release The Bats ticketholders to dress up for Halloween, either as something traditionally spooky or as something to do with one of the bands. Like last year there will be Best Costume and Best Photo competitions, with prices including ATP Chalets, Polaroid PoGo Cameras and ATP goodies.

People wearing costumes should take a picture with either one of the roving photographers that will be at the venues or at the Release The Bats Photo Booth. The three best costumes on each night will win prizes including a PoGo. Images of the costumes will then go onto www.atpfestival.com/releasethebats where people will be able to vote on costumes from all three nights to find the overall chalet winner!

The best photo competition will be judged after the events through photos uploaded to Flickr at www.flickr.com/groups/releasethebats2008 and the best photo over all three nights as picked by a professional photographer will win the chalet!

There are STILL tickets available for both shows and are priced at £22.50 for London (30th October), and £18.50 for Birmingham (31st October).

Doors for all nights open at 6pm. For more information, full stage times and news updates on these shows see www.atpfestival.com.

ATP vs Explosions In The Sky, Photo Special [Day 3]

Posted on 23 May 2008 by Rich Thane

Sunday. The final day of perhaps the greatest festival I’ve ever been to, and what a day to round things off. Without doubt the strongest line-up of the weekend (for me anyway). Kicking things off with a beautiful set was Jens Lekman, followed by a more muscular Beach House with added drums and bass on a few numbers. Victoria Legrands vocals really are something special, she’s turning into such a powerhouse. Silver Jews were staggeringly good, and I’d hazzard a guess that the entire audience at the Pavillion stage would agree. De La Soul injected a sense of fun into the day. A great set that featured a ton of audience interaction. You never really know what line-up Broken Social Scene are going to bring over with them. We were treated to Amy Milan and Evan Cranley from Stars. Plus the regular offenders Charles Spearin and Justin Peroff. Sam Goldberg too, who is proving to be a great asset to the live BSS line-up. Battles were, in a word, phenomenal. Even after the ridicuous queuing debarcle before their set, they didn’t fail to dissapoint.

Until next year then…

Remember you can check out the previous days photos - Friday / Saturday and our full review of the event here.

ATP vs Explosions In The Sky, Photo Special [Day 2]

Posted on 22 May 2008 by Rich Thane

The pain of my headache on the Saturday morning of ATP will haunt me forever. Cider and Guiness don’t mix. Simple as that. I learnt a valuable lesson there. However, a few Ibuprofens, a humongous english breakfast and several cups of tea later I was right as rain and fighting fit ready for the first act of the day; A Hawk and A Hacksaw. Their unique take on Eastern European gypsy folk nearly left me taking my shoes of and doing some sort of weird jig. I restrained myself though you’ll be pleased to know. Other acts taking to the three stages on the Saturday were Ghostface Killah (”greedy bitches” still ringing in my head), The National, Iron & Wine and Adem. Enjoy the photos below, and remember to check back tomorrow for the final part of our ATP features.

ATP vs Explosions In The Sky, Photo Special [Day 1]

Posted on 21 May 2008 by Rich Thane

As well as Rich Hughes’ fine review of the three day event at Butlins this past weekend, we will also be running some of my favourite pictures over the next few days. The Friday lineup was certainly a great way to blow away those cobwebs, with acts such as Constantines, Phosphorescent and the weekend curators Explosions In The Sky all taking to the three stages. Look out for more photos tomorrow, featuring Ghostface Killah, The National and Iron & Wine.

Explosions in the Sky ATP - Minehead, 16/17/18th May 2008

Posted on 21 May 2008 by Rich Hughes


Jens Lekman. All photographs by Rich Thane.

Another year, another great weekend of ATP action. This was the first year TLOBF have covered it properly, with press passes and everything, so it was a slightly more distancing experience. Staying in a (rather splendid) B&B about 10 mins walk away from the Butlins site itself, our morning stroll along the sea front a breath of fresh air to clear the residual hangover each morning (well, afternoon really…).

Explosions in the Sky had managed to bring a lot of bands from across the globe together for this weekend. There were barely a home-grown act amongst the line-up, the bands flown across from Japan, America and Canada for our listening pleasure. The best sign though was how great the first act on each of the days were. Our Friday pilgrimage was finished by the dirty rock ‘n roll of The Constantines. Lead singer Bry Webb deciding that he needed a hair cut, taking chunks out of his hair between chords. Saturday saw the raucous gypsy-noise of A Hawk and a Hacksaw, blasting away the remnants of the night before, causing people to spontaneously dance at 4pm in the afternoon. It was the turn of the nicest man in Sweden, Jens Lekman, to woo the crowd on Sunday. A perfect slice of sunshine filled pop, his delicate picking out of chords from the air, twisted with his spoken interludes of ‘Postcard to Nina’ sending the crowd into equal measures of applause and laughter. He also had the best looking backing band of the weekend… Continue Reading

ATP vs Pitchfork - Camber Sands, 9th-11th May 2008

Posted on 15 May 2008 by John Brainlove


Photgraphs by Shannon McClean

Camber Sands Pontins, the site of the ATP vs Pitchfork Festival, is a wonderfully shabby monument to the British seaside holiday, perched out on the edge of the salt flats in the remote hamlet of Camber. Ranks of ‘chalets’, actually more like leisure-orientated council flats than any wooden-beamed taste of European living, flank the complex itself - a windowless Modernist block painted hyperlink blue. Just over a tall dune lies an expanse of sand leading to a wide, sweeping bay. When the sun is shining and there’s a weekend of free time and amazing music ahead, there’s no place quite like it.

Going inside the venue itself is like plunging into a dark cave. Within the minute the eyes take to adjust to the darkness, you’re surrounded by hundreds of steaming people in the smaller of the two rooms in which the performances take place, squinting as things start to come into focus.

The summer is officially here! ATP kickstarted the festival season with their Pitchfork curated event, held at Camber Sands this past weekend (9th-11th May).

De La Soul & Battles added to ATP May weekender

Posted on 14 January 2008 by Rich Thane

de-la-soul2.jpg

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better than Jens Lekman, The National and Ghostface Killah; two more acts have been added to the Explosions In The Sky curated festival held at Butlins in Minehead between May 16-18th.

via the ATP website:

Are you excited? Well you should be because we have news just in that the legendary De La Soul have just signed for May alongside Battles who return to slay you all with two late night sets in Centre stage like Aphex Twin did in December.
