From the ATP newsletter:
All Tomorrow’s Parties second festival weekend for December 2011 at Butlins, Minehead is the Nightmare Before Christmas – this year curated by three of the most stunning live acts on the planet – Battles, Caribou and Les Savy Fav. As previously announced each band will headline and choose a line-up of 14 artists for one day of the festival. Today we can confirm a new set of additions with more yet to be chosen by our illustrious curators…
First up we are very excited to confirm that HOT SNAKES will reform for this event at the request of Les Savy Fav – this American rock group led by Rick Froberg (Drive Like Jehu, now of Obits) and John Reis (Drive Like Jehu, Rocket From The Crypt, now of Night Marchers) formed in 1999 and were one of the most vital and exciting live acts of the era.
I was just listening to this French podcast (June 30th), Rien à Branler, and it has a nice mix of new discoveries and old friends. Check it out!
