All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival New York

This weekend the All Tomorrow’s Parties Fest begins and lasts until Sunday the 21st. The lineup is pretty outstanding and features, among other things, the first performance by My Bloody Valentine in the US in 16 years!

The full lineup can be viewed at the festival’s official site. A large number of great drummers will be at the festival as there are so many amazing bands playing. Among the band’s I’d love to see are…

OM, Polvo, Shellac, MBV, Low, Tortoise, Bardo Pond, The Meat Puppets, Dinosaur Jr, Mogwai, And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and Bob Mould.

It’s a shame ATP doesn’t get as much press as other festivals, but then again it is not really on the level of Coachella or others like it. All Tomorrow’s Parties is currently SOLD OUT, so if you really want to go and you didn’t get a ticket, either pawn your drum set off or check out eBay. Wish I was going…
