NYC ATP 2003 curated by Stephen Malkmus

Now i am not a big fan of Stephen malkmus. Though he has a few nice ditties to me his music taste is far better than his music in my humble opinion which has led me to realise what a great event for New Zealand Music this festival will be.
Everyone knows Mr Malkmus was a huuuuuuuuuuuge fan of that fucked up thing called the "Dunedin Sound".

I wonder what fantastic New Zealand bands this man will choose?

The clean?
Graeme downes?
bob scott?
david kilgour?

maybe even some bands he saw at under the influence?

Forums: NZ Music,

Hey, what's NYC ATP? New York City something? Do enlighten, please. Got a relevant link?

New york city's "all tomorrow's parties" kinda like, each year a cool indie dude invites the bands he/she likes to play at this prestigous event. 2003 s.m takes the reigns...whcih could be a wonderful opportunity for nz music.

atp's started in the uk. methinks.......then the US caught on....i think sonic youth did the last one.

I believe Belle And Sebastian began the festival in the UK :)

Surely Mr Malkmus would be salivating at the thought of getting a rejuvenated Clean (they could flog their new Compilation off by the hundreds) or even UK-resident Ghost Club involved (2/3rds of the 3Ds -- an old Pavement-era contemporary).

Although it looks like he's doing the New York leg of the tour, so how about Mad Scene/Hamish Kilgour and Bailterspace.

Matt Groening of The Simpson's fame doing the LA leg. Um, weird?

yeah...but he's got some fucking good taste, i'd kill to go to that show.

me too ian finially we agree on something!

Its crazy eh!!!!

There is a UK one, an LA one, and for the first time ever there is a NYC one.

should be a blast. I am just exicted after the DEAD C and HDU got to play last year what wicked new zealand acts will get to play this year. Hopefully the clean or ghost club.

Shit. For the very first time, something I could actually realistically go to... I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Hiya, We have had the ATP gigs over in the UK for the last three years now and they are fantastic events,as you get a real mix of music. You guys should definatley get something similar organised over there as would be a great event!!

A Wellington ATP? With Androu curating? Bring it on...

:)

hehehe i would love that.......

knowing our good friend andoru
he'd get it moved down to dunedin
whats the point in flying the bands up, when they are already in dunedin ;)

Wellington has much better bands than in Dunedin. You just have to look for them.
Well i heard some news in relation to some great Dunedin bands yesterday:

hiss explosion have added thomas fucking bell to the band and they now are a force.
and that puddle are amazing.

In other words: i would have it in wellington. I love this town.

p.s mogwai are playing at NYC ATP! WOOHOO!!!!!!!

As Teina mentioned previously, it would be great to see something like Bailter Space reform and play at ATP. While they're not strictly 'Dunedin Sound', they do hail from Christchurch :)
I thought I saw Alistair from Bailter Space at a recent Datsuns gig in NYC, but I was too afraid/embarassed to go up and say 'Are you ...?'. Call me a wuss if you like, but I've got my fingers crossed for that possible reforming.
