Review: All Tomorrow's Parties End of an Era Part Two @ Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands, UK

So this is it. The end of an end of an era.

I can wholeheartedly say that for me, this really is the end of an era. I have attended seventeen UK ATP festivals over the last thirteen years. I was here at Pontins in 2000 at the first ever ATP festival curated by Mogwai. Ever since then ATP's UK holiday camp festivals have been a fundamental akin to nourishment or warmth. And I genuinely mean that. Why else would I have repeatedly reached into my pocket, scraping together all my resources in order to purchase tickets for a just-announced event that had no announced line up? Needless to say when the End Of An Era events were announced it was a no-brainer. I was going to be there!

Friday.

Having been here just a week earlier, with Fucking Nostalgic's head honcho Chris and his fiancée Jen (at End Of An Era Part One), our already well honed ATP travel routine runs like a dream and we make it to Pontins 15 minutes before they open the gates. There are no bands on for 5 hours or so, but anyone who's been in one of those chalets in December will tell you it's worth getting there early to warm it up before the sun goes down. That and the fact that I'm really going to miss this place, this experience and the feeling of community at these events. So I'm here early and I'm going to luxuriate in this feeling one last time. As I approach the check-in desk the lovely ATP ladies inform me that we are the first chalet to book in and snap a quick photo of my grinning mug. I win!

All Tomorrow's Parties End of an Era Part One @ Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands, UK

All things must pass. Even festivals that strive to provide an overwhelmingly enjoyable experience in addition to some of the best music lineups known to mankind. In the past thirteen years, UK promotors All Tomorrow's Parties have put on legendary festivals all over the world, but it's their original three-day series at Pontins Holiday Camp in Camber Sands that started it all, and set the template for what a music festival can and should be. And with good reason. Part one of their End of an Era series, curated by Primavera Sound and ATP, provided three of the most memorable days of my life.

Some background on our journey to our first UK ATP festival. My fiancee Jennifer and I decided to take the plunge and make a trip to London after finally meeting FN's London contributor Rhona and her wife Niki back in October, following a two year online correspondance with them. Of all the experiences I've had since creating this blog in 2011, getting to meet people as obsessed with music as I am has been the most rewarding. Rhona and Niki have been to numerous ATP Festivals, and considering the End of An Era series would be the last at Pontins, they were of course attending both weekends. Everything fell into place when Rhona informed me that there was room for the two of us in the 4-person chalet for Part One of End of An Era. Five weeks later we found ourselves on a red eye flight to London, the next morning driving to Camber Sands in a car packed with food, a couple cases of Sapporo cider and a big bottle of Apple Schnapps (more on that later).

ATP: End of an Era Part I stage times revealed

endofera1g

As many are already aware, the much loved All Tomorrow’s Parties festivals are coming to a close this year, with the final two festivals taking place over two consecutive weekends at Pontins Holiday Camp in Camber Sands, UK. End of an Era Part 1 Curated by ATP & Primavera Sound goes down next weekend, November 22-24, while End of An Era Part 2 curated by ATP & Loop will take place November 29 – December 1. Both are now sold out.

For over a decade, the promoters at ATP have put together some of the finest and eclectic lineups in festival history, carefully selecting acts that cater to a very specific demographic, rejecting any form of corporate sponsorship, and maintaining a reputation for providing a highly enjoyable experience. I personally have only attended one ATP festival in 2011 for the Portishead-curated I’ll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park, but it still stands as one of my favorite festivals ever.

We here at FN will be mourning the loss of ATP upon its conclusion, specifically our London contributor Wiglet Bill (who attends ATP festivals annually and its spinoff festivals throughout the year). The good news (at least for our readers) is the Wiglet and I are teaming up next weekend to cover End of an Era Part I, and will be photographing the event for FN, as well as tweeting the event on our Twitter account, @fuckingnostalgi. Be sure to follow us over there and on Facebook to see what kind of trouble we get into.

Today, ATP announced stage times for next weekend, which includes a meaty-looking Saturday lineup (Television, Les Savy Fav, GY!BE and Dinosaur Jr. in a row), with only a few time clashes throughout the three days. Take a look at the full lineup below, and we’ll be back with ATP coverage in a week!

ATP I'll Be Your Mirror USA moves to NYC (9/21-23)



In very "WHAT THE WHAT?!" and "HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th, SUCKAAAS" news this morning, it was announced that All Tomorrow's Parties' (ATP) upcoming I'll Be Your Mirror USA 2012 festival has been moved from Asbury Park, NJ to Pier 36, NYC. In a press release this morning, ATP announced:

"Pier 36 was the intended home for I'll Be Your Mirror beginning in 2013 - but due to unavoidable logistical concerns (along with a lack of available fan accommodations in Asbury Park), ATP has decided to move there for this year's event.

We hope that the new venue will make for an incredible event and open up many other accommodation options to fans who were unable to find rooms in Asbury Park," comments ATP's Barry Hogan. "We sincerely apologise to those inconvenienced by the move and hope that any problems caused may be minimised by the relatively small distance between the two locations. Anyone who is unable to attend due to the move or due to the cancellation of Louis CK can claim a full refund by contacting their ticket agent between now and July 31st."

We woke up Sunday morning to find that a thick mist had descended on Minehead. The turrets of the pavilion that were so distinct against yesterday’s bright blue sky had all but disappeared against the white mist. We awoke slowly, already reminiscing about the last two days and recalling that David Yow had said on stage that Boredoms were, and I quote, “The best fucking thing I’ve ever seen!” We began to get excited about their impending set. I made breakfast in our accommodation while we watched A Brief History of Time on Jeff Mangum TV and waited for the bands to start up.

At 10.30am my phone rings, firmly waking me from the slumber the seagulls have been attempting to draw me out of since around 6am with their incessant squawking. It’s my friend who lives in Minehead inviting me out for breakfast in the local ‘Hairy Dog’ pub. After explaining that I’d had little or no sleep and that there was absolutely zero chance of me dragging my sorry self from my bed, I hung up the phone to find that I was unable to go back to sleep. Over an hour and a half later my wife finally woke up and after some breakfast and a bit of ‘Jeff Mangum TV’ we finally noticed that it was turning out to be a spectacularly beautiful day outside.

We headed out of the accommodation for a walk in the sun, through the rows of chalets, on toward the meringue turrets of the skyline pavilion, brilliant white against the cloudless morning sky. We decide to head inside to see if any new and exciting merch had arrived, stopping on the way to take in the awesome ATP mosaic by Shannon McLean (a rendering of the cover of the Neutral Milk Hotel record In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, seen above).

ATP I'll Be Your Mirror USA 2012 Festival Tickets On Sale Today, You Should Buy Them

Guided By Voices Cancelled ATP IBYM London, Afghan Whigs Take Their Spot & Are Curating ATP IBYM Asbury Park



We were worried for a solid hour that Guided By Voices were no more after an announcement was made claiming they cancelled their headlining appearance at ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror London. But frontman Robert Pollard has reportedly denied those claims, stating that the show was cancelled due to personal reasons, but they still are a functioning unit. Not only that, but they’re working on another album, entitled Class Clown Spots a UFO. That’s right, two new albums from our favorite lo-fi outfit.

In related (and extremely exciting news), acclaimed indie/soul act The Afghan Whigs have reunited and will be taking GBV’s slot at ATP IBYM London, playing their first show in thirteen years. Along with some other recent additions, including Archers of Loaf, Thee Oh Sees, Demdike Stare, Siskiyou and an additional performance by Yuck, the festival is gearing up to be a legendary three-day party.

For those in the New York City and New Jersey area, additional news to be excited about: ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror will return to Asbury Park again in September 2012, and Greg Dulli of Afghan Whigs will be curating. Tickets will go on sale in January. Visit the ATP website for the full press release and check out the initial lineup for the London festival below.

Download/Stream: Les Savy Fav's ATP Nightmare Before Christmas Playlist

Check out more (and freakier) photos of Les Savy Fav @ MHOW over here!

As we continue to be jealous of everyone in the UK for all of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival goodness they've got coming up between now and summer 2012 ('sup Wiglet Bill), we've got another tasty bit of news to report on the most imminent of said festivals: ATP's annual Nightmare Before Christmas Festival, taking place from December 9-11 at Butlins Holiday Centre in Minehead.

Following up on Dan Snaith's Caribou Mix, another of the Festival's co-headliners, the eternally weird Les Savy Fav, have put together one of their own featuring cuts from themselves and other great Festival acts like Archers of Loaf, Wild Flag, Marnie Stern, and No Age. Stream it in full after the jump (peep the tracklist as well), and pick up tickets and learn more about Matt Griffith's cool- (and very Fucking Nostalgic) sounding Big Pretentious Mix CD Swap at the event over at the ATP website.

Sebadoh Return To NYC/NJ This Weekend To Rock Our Faces Off + ATP In March




One of the very first shows we covered on this site was Sebadoh at Bowery Ballroom in April, which was subsequently the last time they were in New York City. And now that they’re coming back, we’re pretty thrilled. If you’re in the New York City area, you have two opportunities to catch the band this weekend. Tomorrow night Sebadoh will play Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ, and then on Saturday night they will melt faces in Brooklyn at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets are sold out for Maxwell’s but you can still nab one for MHOW.

My pick of the two goes to Maxwell’s--mainly because I just love that venue, it’s incredibly small, and the sound is pretty phenomenal. Check Craigslist for people getting rid of extras. But if you’re too lazy to take the 10 minute bus ride out to Jersey, then you’re better off sticking to Brooklyn (you lazy, lazy person). Anyway – we’ll be covering both shows, so be sure to check back for photos and reviews. We have our fingers crossed for new material (at least that’s what Lou semi-promised when I spoke to him in May), so we’ll be sure to report back to you on that.

And don’t forget, Sebadoh is still confirmed to play the Jeff Mangum-curated ATP in Minehead as announced earlier today. Tickets--for those who didn’t already purchase them before the original December dates were cancelled-- are on sale now.

ATP Continues To Blow Our Minds With The Rescheduled Jeff Mangum Lineup


Wow, All Tomorrow's Parties is absolutely killing it this week. While a lot of our British readers were bummed (or happy) about the postponement of ATP Curated By Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) in Minehead from December to March of next year, the promoters have today not only confirmed that a good number of the original acts will be soldiering on with the new March days, but that some exciting new acts have jumped onto the bill as well.

The new additions include The Magnetic Fields - making their ATP debut and a rare festival appearance - as well as '90s indie cult favorites Versus and Mangum's Elephant 6 Collective cohorts The Music Tapes. But the coolest update to the lineup is the return of Mike Watt & George Hurley performing the songs of the Minutemen, having had to cancel their original December appearance at the Festival.

Tickets are on sale on the ATP website, and we give the Minutemen a little hat tip after the jump. Fuck yeah.

All Tomorrow's Parties Announces I'll Be Your Mirror London 2012 Festival

What the WHAT?!

Oh, All Tomorrow's Parties. Your I'll Be Your Mirror Festival in Asbury Park, NJ feels like just yester(day 1, day 2, day 3). And today the venerable festival promoters have confirmed the second UK I'll Be Your Mirror event, to be held in London's Alexandra Palace from May 25-27, 2012.

And have they got some cool stuff planned for you Londoners. Not only is the festival curated by Mogwai (who we're still waiting to see in NYC...), but it'll be headlined by Guided By Voices (with new material!) and will feature Slayer performing Reign In Blood in its entirety on the first night of the festival. Other acts confirmed so far include Sleep, Melvins, the reunited Codeine (!!!!!), Mudhoney (!!), and easy Future Nostalgia contenders Yuck. Damn, you guys.

Tickets go on sale this Friday (11/11) at 10am GMT - check out ATP's page for a breakdown of single day and weekend pass prices. Oh, and did we mention there's a trailer for the Slayer portion of the event? Because there is, and you can check it out after the jump.

Who will fill Mogwai’s slot at ATP?




Late yesterday, Scottish post-rockers Mogwai postponed their tour (again), this time due to medical reasons. We’re hoping everything is okay, but in the meantime we can’t help but wonder who will fill the gaping hole between Sunday’s 8:15pm – 9:15pm slot at this weekend’s ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror Festival. Mogwai would have been playing Convention Hall in between Public Enemy and headliners (and curators) Portishead, which means it will have to be a pretty big act to fill their shoes. Here are some artists that are in town this weekend who just may step up to the plate…

Asobi Seksu – the Brooklyn-based shoegaze group certainly would fit in with a lot of the bands on the bill. Don’t know how well they’d be received after Public Enemy, but you never know. They play Brooklyn Bowl the night before, with nothing on their schedule until October 15.

Tapes ‘n Tapes – hey… remember Tapes ‘n Tapes? They put out that really great album The Loon in 2006 and then… I don’t really know what happened. That record still stands the test of time and I probably would have gone seen them at Bowery Ballroom on Friday if it were not for ATP. TnT play Maxwell’s on 10/1, but have nothing on their schedule until Monday in North Carolina.

Elvis Costello – who wouldn’t want to see Elvis Costello at ATP? It would be killer. Elvis will be playing United Palace in New York City on Saturday, and Count Basie Theatre on Monday, but nothing on Sunday. If they twist his arm to play This Year’s Model in full, there will be a lot of happy concertgoers.

Explosions in the Sky – Don’t quote me on it, but I’m almost certain Explosions in the Sky played ATP last year, and would definitely fill the void post-rock fans are yearning for. EITS play Wellmont Theater on Monday, October 3, but have nothing scheduled beforehand. There is a very good chance they will take the slot.

Radiohead – We’re probably the only ones who have been suggesting this might happen, but we don’t really care. Portishead’s drummer Clive Deamer also happens to be touring with Radiohead now (as seen on SNL), and aside from Wednesday and Thursday’s Roseland Ballroom shows, the band have nothing on their schedule. An announcement of Radiohead playing ATP will certainly sell out Sunday’s tickets (and possibly the entire festival), making it one of the most memorable weekends of recent times. We’ve been praying every morning when we wake up and every night before we go to sleep that this happens, but honestly, it would be a bit of a stretch. Stranger things have happened…

Anyone else in town you think might show up? A friend of mine suggested Bruce Springsteen yesterday, which would be ironically funny and actually really amazing. Until ATP actually announces something, anything is possible.

Jeff Mangum unveils another lost Neutral Milk Hotel track


We still have a ways to go until Neutral Milk Hotel will release that bat-shit insane box set on November 22. In the meantime, Jeff Mangum will slowly build up our giddiness for the vinyl-only collection by unmasking NMH songs we've never heard before on that new website of his--reminding us that yes, Mangum may have been in hiding for a decade but that doesn't mean he didn't learn how to use the internet.

Listen to "Little Birds (Unfinished Version 2)" over at said website, which is taken from the "Little Birds" 7" that will be included in said box set. And also remember that Mangum's NYC-area performances are only a couple weeks away (and tickets are still available for the upcoming ATP I'll Be Your Mirror Festival). And just for the fuck of it, check out some old school Jeff Mangum performances below...

Get A FREE 2 1/2-Hour Mixtape From All Tomorrow's Parties In Advance Of I'll Be Your Mirror!


Well this is several kinds of cool. As we've made you really well aware, All Tomorrow's Parties Presents: I'll Be Your Mirror is happening at the end of the month near here in (beautiful?) Asbury Park, NJ. We've obviously got something awesome planned for that, but today they've gotten us even more psyched by releasing a free downloadable 2.5-hour mixtape curated by Portishead featuring cuts from nearly every band/artist playing the Festival.

Stream it below (check out that tracklist!) and download it over here too. ATP will be releasing a full schedule of set times for the Festival soon, but in the meantime you can still go pick up tickets if you've been under a rock up 'til now. Hot damn.

Listen: Jeff Mangum, Live In Toronto (8/13)

Image via Stereogum
If the ever-expanding awesomeness coming out of the ATP America I'll Be Your Mirror camp (like yesterday's Public Enemy announcement) has yet to convince you that theirs is the festival to be at this fall, our friends at Stereogum have tipped us off to some amazing HQ audio that proves that yes, ATP NJ highlight Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) is going to blow your freaking mind.

Canadian music blog Southern Souls posted a full recording of Mangum's performance at Toronto's Trinity-St. Paul's Centre last week, including classics like "Oh Comely" and "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea." As these mp3s prove, he hasn't lost a bit of the power and intensity that branded him a musical icon in the eyes of many. Check them out over there, and get an ATP ticket already, geez.

Portishead announce tour, playing Hammerstein Ballroom 10/4 & 10/5

14

Portishead’s triumphant return to live performances has been met with giddiness and excitement from fans around the world, and though we already knew the band would be curating (and performing… twice) at All Tomorrow’s Parties’ I’ll Be Your Mirror Festival in Asbury Park (tickets still available), we now know that they’ll be playing two nights at Manhattan’s Hammerstein Ballroom venue in October.

The two Hammerstein Ballroom shows on 10/4 and 10/5, will come just after ATP, giving fans unable to attend the massive festival in New Jersey a chance to catch them right here in NYC. Tickets go on sale July 15th with presale tickets ON SALE NOW! Below is the remainder of Portishead’s tour schedule…

Contest: “Like” this post, win a copy of Deerhoof’s Milk Man on limited edition strawberry vinyl!


If I had to name one band that changed my perspective of indie music post-college, it would definitely be experimental noise-psych group Deerhoof. It was around 2005 when I first heard The Runners Four, probably a suggestion off of Pitchfork I took somewhat hesitantly, and I think it took me a few tracks to understand what they were fully going for, but the song that cinched the deal for me was “Siriustar.” Easily one of the heaviest and, um, “cutest” tracks cut by Deerhoof, the song features one of the most absolutely ear-splitting guitar solos in rock history (sorry to be hyperbolic, but the ending of “Siriustar” is just incredible). If you haven’t heard that album yet, definitely pick up a copy today (the vinyl sounds amazing by the way). And sorry for going off about The Runners Four, since this post is regarding their other masterpiece, Milk Man.

The very awesome Polyvinyl record label has just reissued Milk Man on limited edition “Strawberry” vinyl (a reference to album’s somewhat disturbing artwork) in celebration of Deerhoof’s upcoming performance of the album at All Tomorrow’s Parties London this July (alongside other Fucking Nostalgic favorites Dinosaur Jr. and The Flaming Lips). Only 500 copies of the strawberry wax edition of Milk Man will be available, but you can win a copy directly from Fucking Nostalgic by following the details below! Deerhoof will also be making an appearance at the All Tomorrow’s Parties - I’ll Be Your Mirror Festival in Asbury Park, NJ this fall. As we mentioned on Monday, passes are still available, now with the option to see Jeff Mangum (of Neutral Milk Hotel) play an additional show on the Sunday that closes the festival. Get on that if you haven’t already, because it’s going to be a blast.

Contest details: Head over to our Facebook page and “Like” us if you haven’t already. Then simply “Like” this very post and you’re entered in the contest to win one copy of Deerhoof’s Milk Man on 180g Strawberry Vinyl. Don’t have a turntable? For shame! (just kidding) (sort of) The album also includes an mp3 download code, so you’re set to put this mind-bending album directly onto your iPod. A winner will be selected at random at midnight tonight and contacted for shipping details. Good luck!

Extra Jeff Mangum Show Added To All Tomorrow's Parties NJ


Fans who have been waiting to catch reclusive Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum here in the Northeast have another reason to celebrate today. In addition to his previously scheduled performance at All Tomorrow's Parties (ATP) America Presents: I'll Be Your Mirror Festival in Asbury Park, NJ on Friday September 30 and a Monday show separate from the event at nearby Paramount Theatre the following Monday (October 3), our friends at BrooklynVegan reported that show curators Portishead have asked Mangum to play another show at ATP that Sunday, October 2.

ATP is now selling new Three Day Jeff Mangum Sunday passes that will get attendees into the Festival for all three days and access to Mangum's new Sunday show as well as one of the two Portishead shows. They are now also offering up a small number of tickets to the sold-out Monday show that fans can acquire via email.

Great news for Jeff Mangum fans, and more than enough reason to give In The Aeroplane Over The Sea yet another spin.
