Nightmare before X-mas tickets on sale!

http://wegottickets.com/f/308

I'm not bothered about it myself.



  • SWEET! IT'S ON MY BIRTHDAY

    :D

    • including...

      Fantomas performing Directors Cut
      Melvins
      Dalek
      Zu
      Neil Hamburger
      Isis
      Big Business
      The Locust

      • Zu!

        Ladies and gentleman we have skronk. I'm there.

  • the site not only has a nesagents, it also has a burger king and KFC

    I'm there.

    Neil Hamburger is the WORST thing in the world.

    • is he? i've not heard of him before

      but i've just been looking at allmusic, and he seems rated?

      • he's a stand up

        who does deliberately bad jokes. it is really really really annoying. but i kind of like it.

        • i think i might probably like that

        • ^

          in concure! his 7 inch record where you interveiw him is awesome!

          hate minehead though... so probably a no go...

    • Are you deffo going?

      Room for a poorly dressed chalet-mate?

      With the emphasis strictly OFF mating.

      • i want to go.

        it depends on work and money and stuff.

        I don't want to sleep with you though.

    • There's no KFC is there?

      I've just booked my leave anyway.

    • Where the hell is KFC?

      And why have I not seen it? I could have Killed for some fried chicken the other weekend.

  • Argh

    Is this going to be another noise-fest?

    Now regretting not going to either of the May ATPs.

    • That'll be why it's called the Nightmare Before Christmas

      It's all about the noise. I reckon BSS will be doing one of the May ones next year so maybe save your money.

      • Yes...

        If they manage to fit in 5/6 non-noise bands, like Portishead last year, it'll be worth going still.

        Can't see it though with this one...

        • Depends what you class as 'noise'

          To me something like Prurient or Merzbow is noise. There was a fair bit of that at the Thurston one (along with loads of other brilliance). Nothing on that lineup to me is strictly noise though.

          NBC should be a slightly 'darker' lineup and Patton is the perfect curator. People on here have been saying he should do it for a couple of years. I guess it 'aint for everyone.

        • huh?

          what noise bands played portishead?

          • Genres Shmenres

            Can I change noise to noisY, as noisY isn't a genre and thus won't offend people...

    • I do hope so

      mmm noise

  • Can someone explain the bands to me?

    Ta

    • Noisey

      • yeah, a bit too noisy i think

        i want some nice stuff too please mike or mel or whoever

        • I'm not really into noise stuff....

          ...but I think the Thurston NBC was the most fun ATP that I've been to.

          • it all depends on how up for it everyone else is for me

            but as i said, i'd prefer there to be some fun stuff too

      • Is it weird

        that i like Neil Hamburger, he makes me quite want to go.

        • see my post

          further down \/

          if i could book him the saturday before to play with Damo Suzuki/Acid Mothers Temple...oh my...

    • you'll love them.

      • really?

        • no

          • Cool

            Want to get a chalet?

            • maybe

              I don't like the bands either. We'll have so much fun!

              • yeah you pair of utter bottom fiddlers should come

                • Indeed!

                  At the very least, you can watch me have a good time!

  • Amazing!!!

    If those are early bird tickets im worried about how much they are going to be come the 1st July...

    • tenna more each maybe...

    • How much are they?

      I can't access wegottickets at work.

      • £140

        plus whatever fees they add on, which will make it >£150.

        I want to go, but that is a lot of money just to see the melvins. I'm not fussed about any of Patton's stuff.

        • it's also a tenna more if you get self catering

          which is of course the sensible thing to do, you muppets!

          • Not everyone has at least 3 friends...

            Let alone 3 friends who like good music and are willing to go to atp you muppet.

            • that's where

              you post more to make yourself more recruitable. I'm in!

              • Do i need a covering letter as well?

                • this helps

                  Think Miss World pageant, but for ATP

            • i like to make it more fun by shaing with people i've never met before

              apro pos acheiving enough people to share with and ridding the need to spend the weekend being a muppet :D

      • Same a before i think.

        140 pp for non-catering
        150pp catering

  • I'd made up my mind to go to this one

    but I don't think I'll bother. Can't see Patton or the Melvins getting anyone I'd be fussed by

    • on the ATP topic,

      hows the envy treating you?

      • Ver very well

        I spent £14 of my last £20 in the world one them last weekend

  • I think I may go

    but I need friends to make up the 4 berth room. I badly need to see ISIS.

  • Noooooooo!!!

    I will resist for now, my credit card can't take all this punishment.

    ATP I hate you!

  • NEIL HAMBURGER!

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

    anyone want to buy me loan me £280 for a couple weeks?

  • I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO THIS

    IT'S GOING TO BE MY FAVOURITE FESTIVAL EVER!

    I'M SO EXCITED!

  • Definitely going

    exciting. More metal please.

    • yeah, ACTUAL metal please

      • I thought Slayer were going to be playing

        that would be so good. I want Neurosis too.

        • i'm looking forward to some metal when it gets announced

          not sure about slayer, but that would be absolutely quality

          • Isn't Lombardo back in Slayer?

            If so they would be very likely to turn up. I would love to see Lombardo playing with Zorn again. Please, let there be Zorn.

        • Big yes to Neurosis

          I'm still hoping they pull some really awesome influential punk band out of retirement or something. That or El-P.

  • OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD

    • whywhywhy

      this looks like my favourite atp in years and I have roughly £4 at my disposal

  • Right I'm putting together a chalet

    I won't be able to afford it till the end of summer, and I'll need to see if I can book time off work, but c'mon, who wants to be in MY gang? Cyberdemon? Warno? Bizzy? Doubtful? Jizzmaster Joeymahone?

    • yeah!!!!

      you have to take rocknrollmassacre though. bargain 2 for 1 DiSer deal. Limited time only!

    • WORD

    • i'm not going to be able to afford it for ages

      so i'm going to ignore all the concept of tickets for a month or two.

      • ^

        But lbc says he can't afford it for a month or two anyway.

        • yeah, it's kinda hard being Snoop D O Double G

          when you have very little mon E Y

        • i know, but i don't want to commit to anything that might fall through

          i took heed when fred durst talked of someone's mouth writing checks that their ass failed to be able to cash.

          • I will definitely be going

            there is pretty much nothing on earth which would stop me. Except my manager.

            • there isn't anything that will stop me

              but planning can wait as far as i'm concerned.

              • currently sectioning off funds

                into a 'banned' area so this is DEFINITELY happening

                • Yeah, I'm going to put £300 into my ISA in monthly installments

    • hello!

    • I'd be up for some sort of group action

  • Is it unlikely

    Sonic Youth will play it?

    • yes

      • Hooray!

        • Yes

          Isis+Locust+Melvins+Fantomas+Dalek+ My Birthday = Not enough friends to get a chalet. Lets see who I can bribe...

        • how the fuck

          does Neil Hamburger get gigs. One of the worst performers I've ever seen.

          • thats the point..

          • He cuts a pitiful figure

            so yes, pity. He can only afford to eat fun size fruit cocktail packs for god's sake. Give the poor man a gig and put off his inevitable suicide another day.

  • Is this the definitive NBC thread now?

    When's it gonna be on the ATP site? My life isn't complete if I'm not checking the ATP site for updates.

    I want to see artwork, the last few years have seen the best ATP artwork [erases Limp Bizkit-esque artwork for 'Vs. the Fans' from memory]

    • I guess they'll all be at Primavera now

      they'll probably sort it out next work for the site.

      I think wegottickets may have been a bit naughty in putting it up early....

      • I'll let them off then

        Man I wish I was at Primavera.

  • COUNTING MY CHICKENS

    I'm hoping for:

    Dillinger Escape Plan
    Bjork (unlikely...)
    Odd Nosdam
    Kid606
    Tomahawk
    Melvins and Fantomas doing their Big Band (this HAS to happen)

    • Peeping Tom please

      featuring Norah Jones. And Farmers Market.

    • DEP have to play it really

    • Kid 606 yes please

      Ennio Morricone!!!!!!

      • I don't think Ennio will be up for it :P

        I want to do a little dance but I'm in my office :(

        • Dya reckon they would drag in some hip hop too?

          High on Fire and Electric Wizard possibles, yes?

          Melt Banana, Kaada and Fennesz too. OH GOD I'M SO EXCITED.

          • I hope so for MB

            I'm going to be away when they're playing here :'(

            • Melt Banana would be fantastic

              Lightning Bolt too?

              There'll be some hip-hop - Dalek's already on there :)

    • Oh

      and NORTHERN STATE plz.

    • If Bjork plays

      I will buy a ticket, 100%. I don't care if I am poor!

    • HELLA

      PRZ

  • hmmmm

    after the "summer" ones just gone i was pretty much "YEAH I'M GOING TO EVERY ATP FOR THE REST OF TIME YEAH", but i don't think i'm really *that* up for this if it's at minehead

    • it would be cold at canber

      • whereas it'll be sumptuous in minehead?

        • no, but it will be warmer in the challets

  • Melvins

    Alright.

    I've never been to an ATP before due to my appalling organisational skills.

    But... like the look of the lineup so far, I totally need some noise after the indie-fest that was dot to dot.

    • im goin

      for sure.

    • I want to make this one a total wreck fest

      • melt banana

        el p, , Slayer, Boris, Autechre and The Red Krayola

    • nick!

      lets go!!!! i'll have money by then, and stuff

  • I think i'm going to go to this

  • Awesome!!!!

    Neil Hamburger!!!!!!!!!

    I can barely wait!!! Fingers crossed for Hella, John Zorn and Boredoms too, possibly Marnie Stern & Von Sudenfed too!!!!

  • 'tis on the website.

    Poster looks nice.

  • Mastodon

    are playing too according to the annoying seetickets weekly email that I can't seem to fecking cancel.

    • at last, official confirmation

    • :D :D :D :D :D :D

    • shit

      that actually sways it a fair bit, Mastodon and ISIS.

      Still saying no though I think.

      • I dunno mang

        Mastodon and Isis are over here all the time! I wouldn't be bothered if I never saw Isis again. Bet there'll be some exciting stuff announced later.

        • I hate that argument

          well hate's a bit strong, but it's different a band playing a gig and being involved in a festival, one after the other.

          • It is a bit different

            I just don't like Isis at all. Er that's what I meant.

        • even your favourite band

          is a million times better at ATP.

          • no comprende senor

          • because everyone's always

            a million times more drunk?

            • no

              because ATP never fails to have an absolutely brilliant atmosphere.

    • That's it

      there is no way on earth that I am not going to this.

    • aaah wow!

      If DEFINITELY going to try and get to this.

  • Kayo Dot

    and Grails please.

  • yeah? ATP yeah?

    fuck yeah.

    • I'M EXCITED

      !

      • ITS GONNA BE SO HEAVY

        HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY
        OH SO HEAVY

        • Jamie...

          How fast do you think the two berth chalets will sell out? I'm still searching for somebody to share with me.

          • i have no earthly idea, sorry.

            i'd say go for it while they're still on the early bird price and find a sharer later?

            • Yeah

              I'm seriously considering that, I'll probably be able to drag a mate along.

  • has everyone sorted shares already?

    did you already do it when i was in hospital? heartless bastards.

    • no...

      but there is grouping going on. Will you be contagious?

    • no :(

      im gonna buy a three-birth and hope for the best again, it worked out fine at EITS

  • I haven't

    been this excited about an ATP for ages. I want updates now, and I want it to be December already.

    Am I asking too much?

    • I don't

      want it to be December because I need some sun and I hate christmas but I AM super excited about NBC! :0

      Makes up for post-Primalona depression and shit english weather slightly...

  • update!

    • Ipecac Fest!

      Can't wait, I've been dying to see Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore for aaaages.

      • they

        arent that great live.
        i think this fest would work better at camber sands, minehead is too...nice

    • awesome

      I like Bohren a lot.

    • I like this choice

      We need more jazz at ATP. Its been very under-represented over the years.

  • Anyone want to buy

    my life?

    I must go to this and I spent my last money in the world in barcelona. On a shit sandwich, with some kind of tomato jam in it.

  • ..

    dose one? odd nosdam? jel? some snticon goodness? please? god i'm excited.

  • you may have got

    an email reminder, but if not, just a quick post to say there's only a week left to buy early bird tickets.

    new band announcements due fairly soon.

    • update...

      come on Mike and Buzz...give me some more bands! i can't wait to find out who else is doing this!!! even though im sure its quite predictable (Lustmord, Rahzel, Dub Trio, Qui, Peeping Tom etc...)

  • some new bands for you

    • Meh

      I'm far more interested in Patton's choices anyway. More of them please then I might think about it.

    • Amazing

      additions! I am well excited.

      • a little ps I've been meaning to ask for a while

        is Holy Roar named after the Torche song? eh?

    • TORCHE

      MOTHERFUCKIN' TORCHE!

      I am so excited! SO excited!

  • The Black Heart Procession

    Oh Dear God, yes.

  • awesome.

  • The Residents

    are playing at the forum on the 7th of December...

    • Got mine..

      So excited, it's looking awesome already. Now please add the following Mr Patton/Buzz:

      Slayer
      Mr Bungle reunion (well two of them are there already)
      Jesus Lizard (i'll settle for Qui with David Yow)
      Battles

      • I ...

        did't think Mcneilly was on speaking terms with the rest of the band?

  • another band added :D

  • I made a muxtape

    http://nbc.muxtape.com

    A selection of most of the bands annouced so far. Hope it's useful to someone.

    Couldn't get any Torche on it though...

    • dude

      muxtape allows you 12 songs and we have 12 artists so far. good selections though.

      • for sure

        I've been trying! Muxtape is a little weird. Some Melvins and Torche stuff just refuses to go on there. As for the rest of it, just had no luck in finding it...

        • yeh i know what you mean

          sometimes it wont accept certain filesizes or types of mp3 encoding. oh well.

  • another

    fucking great addition for you:
    http://www.atpfestival.com/events/nbc2008/

    • Oh wow!

      Saw J.G Thirwell a few years back in a library and he was really intense. Manorexia will be soooooo good.

    • that is a fantastic poster

      if the poster is the robots plus the lineup I might actually buy one this time

    • Awesome

      now some moer Mike Patton additions, plz.

      • MOOER

        like a cow

      • Yes, more Patton picks please

        My original excitement has subsided somewhat. With cash being a bit tight this year it'll have to be good to get me there.

        Oh well, it's only 1/3 announced and all the potentially exciting stuff will be on the Patton side anyway. What happened to those Mastodon rumours? Presumably they aren't playing now if they are touring in Oct/Nov with Slayer.

        • Mastodon

          Are definitely playing, its been confirmed by sources close to the band. One of the reasons I bought a ticket!

  • Still

    need tickets for this, gonna get some for my birthday. :)

  • Another band? go on then.

    • DIRTBOMBS!

    • HUZZAH

      I'm getting more and more excited with every announcements!

      Any word on when there'll be a Patton choice announced, Jamie?

      • hopefully next week

        but you know you can't trust those promises to be too accurate ;-)

    • Mick Collins

      is a proper bad ass!

    • Oh my fucking God yes

      I CANNOT WAIT.

    • Awesome, Dirtbombs!

      Was gutted that i didn't get to see the recently. Ultraglide is one of the greatest cover-albums...bring it!

      Now where's Qui and Dillinger?

  • more announcements please

    i am far too impatient.

    • saw somewhere...

      flipper touring with the melvins in december, so reckon flipper will be there too! slayer maybe...
      patton loves hella so likely...
      would be rad if they put akimbo and triclops! as well who are mates with big business and maybe with the melvins...

      • Are you sure the melvins thing wasnt in 2006?

        On a different note, apparently Dillinger Escape Plan were not asked to play by Patton as they are not obscure enough anymore or something. Black Bubblegum was an awful awful song but still a bit of a surprise.

        • oh shit...

          maybe you're right. saw briefly a page on dis that disappeared very quickly after so that must be it :(

  • jog on

    where is DUB TRIO!!!

  • Fantomas, Torche, Kill Me Tomorrow, Dalek would all be good

    but the rest isn't enticing me to travel the country quite yet

    • fantomas,

      torche and big business are all great but there's nowhere near enough good stuff to get me forking out the 150 quid yet.

  • Harvey Milk...please

    Got my ticket booked! Missing Harvey this week so would love them to be added.

    • It's not beyond the pale, but Joe Preston plays bass for HM at the moment

      ...and I don't know if he left Melvins amicably or not....

  • two new bands :D :D :D

    • Ok

      Now this is looking good. Still want to see more Patton picks.

      Jamie Summers - I know you are a Zorn fan. Please can you use your considerable influence to convince your employers that he is worth whatever astronomical sum I'm sure he commands to play live.

      Many thanks.

    • Kill me tomorrow!

      This is excellent news, they were amazing at the Mars Volta ATP

    • Jamie...

      I don't want to know any band names, but how far in advance do you, yourself know who is playing ATP events?
      Just interested, that's all.

  • I'm in!!!

    Can't wait 'til December.

    ZornZornZornZornZornZornZornZornZorn!

    please.

    • Boredoms. Naked city.

      C' mon Mike, I know you're reading this.

      • yes

        Naked City would be mint

  • chalet update

    • Well that's a mighty kick to the gonads.

      I only know one other person who's going- and he's as skint as me.

  • Apparently

    seetickets email (deleted it before I could read mine) lists Slayer. I hope they will do a special 'not the same fucking set we've been doing for years' set!

  • yeah go on then

    squarepusher and butthole surfers added!

    • Sweet mother god I love ATP

      • This really is going to be the best ATP ever, isn't it?

        • I wait nearly 20 years to

          see the Butties again and then twice in 6 months, brilliant, brilliant news.

  • chalet availability update

    • Gah..

      I need to get this sorted soon. I couldn't afford this and End of the Road this month.

  • Why doesn't the lineup show who picked what any more?

    Is it because Barry is picking some of the bands because none of Patton's choices will play? I'm worried now. Where the fuck is Zorn?

  • someone let me

    stay with them.

    I'll have the money to go by this time next week but none of my loser friends wants to go. I'm ever so nice and you'll hardly notice I'm there.

  • just

    booked :):):)

    • you lucky man

      some reaaaaally good announcements coming up in the next week.

  • 3 berths totally sold out now?

    Please say no...

    • Not heard of MadLove before

      but if it involves Trevor Dunn it's likely to be wild. Getting Patton and Melvins to curate this is the best decision ATP have ever made, I think.

  • love

  • FIVE new bands

    • ...

      I hereby announce my intention to pull a girl during the KONTACKT performance. It doesn't matter which girl.

    • ooops....

      I just came a little bit
