Well, my first ever experience of All Tommorows Parties more than lived upto my expectations. The party was brought and abused by everyone, and even strangers.
Despite a long drive down on Friday morning after work ( and a 4:30AM start) I did get to enjoy Big Business and catch up with some folk before Torche played. This band destroys live, perfect sound, awesome performance, good spot to watch from and they played every song I would want them to.
Fantomas played, and palyed an entire set of "The Directors Cut" material, minus Dave Lombardo and replaced by a spot on, note for note Dale Crower. My friend saw Terry Bozzio (session player extrodanaire) playing for Fantomas in london this year and said Dale wiped the floor with him. Melvins played 3 whole sets that spanned there entire career, Joe Lally did his folk/solo stuff, Isis bored me. You know that scene in "Repo Man" where Emilio Estevez is watching The Circle Jerks as that lounge band in the bar and remarks how he can't believe he used to like them? Well that was me watching (very, very, very briefly) Isis, not bad but I don't know where the band I liked went to. Farmers Market, Meat Puppets, Butthole Surfers and Rahzeal all played. Good good stuff indeed. Its seriously one of the best run, well organised festivals ever, arcades, golf, booze, food, music and tons of dickheads to annoy. Can't be beaten. I do have some pictures that will make it up at somepoint. For now just use your feeble imaginations.
So in celebration of this event I have some music for you...thanks to the fine Lo Res Viscera blog...current personel favourites...
Trash Talk - S/T - awesome modern powerviolence/fastcore played with honesty.
Coalesce - Live Set, Philly 05 - One of my most favourite bands ever and this set just destroys. You need Coalesce in your life. There's bands before them, there's bands after them but no one else is Coalesce.
