Modest Mouse, Shellac, Books Join Fan-Curated ATP
In the greatest fight of summer 2007, it's looking like everybody's a winner. As previously reported, All Tomorrow's Parties' May fiesta boasts the knock-down, drag-out matchup of ATP Versus You (the Fans). Half of the festival's lineup is being curated by attendees, using a handy online voting system. The other half is chosen by All Tomorrow's Parties themselves.
So far, the bill is pretty great. Modest Mouse, Shellac, the Books, Apples in Stereo, Micah P. Hinson, and Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies have been added to the previously announced squad of Built to Spill, the Notwist, Sparklehorse, Echo & the Bunnymen, Akron/Family, Do Make Say Think, Brightblack Morning Light, and Death Vessel.
As we type,
Pavement, Björk, Interpol, the Shins, Mogwai, Sonic Youth, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, PJ Harvey, Iron & Wine, and Belle and Sebastian head up the fans' wishlist. The Shins, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Sonic Youth, and Pavement (duh) are all unavailable, as are the Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Ween, and Silver Jews.
ATP Versus You (the Fans) runs from May
18-20 at Butlins Minehead in Somerset, England.
Meanwhile, the curating of the
first ATP of the year, which takes place at the same venue from April 27-29, remains in the gnarled hands of the Dirty Three. Newly
revealed artists for that festival include Joanna Newsom and White Magic, in addition to previously reported performers Cat Power, Bill Callahan, Spiritualized, Low, Nick Cave and Grinderman, and many more.
