2 days until ATP NY



This is driving me crazy, I just want to go already!

Incase you haven't already been informed by countless music blogs, My Bloody Valentine have gotten back together after sixteen years of nothing. After a big announcement that they were teaming up with All Tomorrow's Parties (among other announced events) to currate a three-day concert filled with the nosiest of noise-rock, MBV have announced a short tour in North America. So hopefully everyone can get their fill before they go back in hiding again.

Of course, there's always that album they're working on to look forward to, but who can compare a CD to the loudest band in the world? I'm hoping when I see them on the twenty-first that I won't need earplugs, it's not like I'll be crammed up against the speakers or anything, I plan on staying a little ways away from the stage, and by a little? I mean alot. Yeah, maybe going deaf to My Bloody Valentine wouldn't be SUCH a bad thing, I mean there are few bands I would let demolish one of my senses, but I still want to be able to hear their new stuff when it surfaces.

But MBV aren't the only band I'm desperately dying to see. Fuck Buttons, Om, Lightning Bolt, Le Volume Courbe, Autolux, and Brian Jonestown Massacre (among others) are some great additions that I will not miss.

There may still be some tickets up for grabs, so if any of this is turning you on I suggest shelling out the bucks to get a chance to see one of the most influential bands, and bands that will undoubtedly become influential, in action.
