All Tomorrow’s Parties
All Tomorrow’s Parties has announced its fourth annual New York-Area Music Festival, called I’ll Be Your Mirror, slated for the weekend of Sept 30 – Oct 2, 2011. The event will be curated by UK trip-hopsters, Portishead, and will also feature rare performances from Jeff Mangum, formerly of Neutral Milk Hotel. Other confirmed bands include Chavez, Shellac, Cults and the Album Leaf, with many more bands still TBA.
For 2011, ATP will also be moving away from Kutsher’s Resort in Monticello, NY, to a new ocean-side location in Asbury Park, NJ, with shows being held at the Convention Hall and the Paramount Theatre. Read on for the current lineup and ticket info. READ MORE
We’re very excited to be able to present one of the greatest albums of the last 20 years live in it’s entirety next July at London’s stunning Alexandra Palace. On the 1st July 2011 The Flaming Lips will perform their seminal classic The Soft Bulletin as part of ATP Concerts Don’t Look Back season. On the album’s release in 1999 it was hailed by critics as ‘The Pet Sounds of the 90s’, receiving adulation from fans and writers alike, topping many year end charts and spawning two classic singles (‘Waiting For A Superman’, ‘Race For The Prize’) and going on to influence countless bands. In 2003 Pitchfork placed the album as the third best album of the 1990s alongside Radiohead’s OK Computer and My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless.
Joining the psych-masters as openers with albums of their own will be Dinosaur, Jr. and Deerhoof…
For this special show they will be joined by two other stunning acts; Dinosaur Jr will perform their 1988 classic Bug; the third album with their original line-up, it included the instant alt-rock classic ‘Freak Scene’. Finally San Francisco’s Deerhoof, one of the most acclaimed live acts around (fans include Radiohead, Beck and Blur all of whom they have been personally invited to support), will perform their 2004 album and fan favourite Milk Man to complete the line-up.
Tickets go on sale this Friday 3rd September at 10am priced at £40 via www.atpfestival.com.

We didn’t have anyone on hand to round-up the festivities a few weekends back up in the Catskills of NY where the All Tomorrow’s Parties party went down, but I found a few choice updates from the fest that got some other folks blogging. The main takeaway was this Panda Bear download, even if it’s a low-quality FM rip, because it was his only show scheduled for 2009. He played a set complete with Animal Collective songs reworked, Panda Bear songs revisited, and a few new tracks that had yet to see the light of day.
I haven’t stopped listening to it since it made the journey to my hard drive, so I figured I’d offer it up here as a download track by track. READ MORE
Oh to be young, a music fan and live in Chicago; for the next three weeks there are more bands, festivals and concerts coming through this city than I know what to do with. Some will be missed but I’m sure Mitch and I will get in our fair share over the next month or so and hopefully we won’t be burned out like Justin was after SXSW.
The Pitchfork Music Festival is kicking off the malay this weekend and should be a great two and a half days of music. There seems to be a festival almost every weekend until the end of the summer that we’ll be covering and to make things more fluid and familiar, LMB will keep all the previews looking somewhat the same as Whitperson’s All Good Preview.
Personally, I am pumped about Pitchfork because there are a number of bands I have yet to see and some that I can’t wait to see again. LMB is here to make a few suggestions and maybe someone’s weekend. Its a big event that’s nearly sold out but if you follow the jump you may be able to win yourself some three day passes.
Pitchfork Media announced the first round of artists for its Chicago-based music festival that takes place July 18th – 20th. Dubbed as an “annual right of indie passage,” the Pitchfork Music Festival always brings some very solid independent music acts to the streets of Chicago. This year is no different with the festival serving up the Animal Collective, !!! (Chk Chk Chk), M Ward, and the indie it band of the moment: Vampire Weekend.
One very cool feature has been the “Don’t Look Back” series in which a classic band plays one of its most influential or best albums in full on Friday night. Last year, they had Sonic Youth doing Daydream Nation, and this year we have the pleasure of catching Public Enemy play its seminal album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.
More announcements are on the way; read on for further details on tickets and the initial line-up.
The 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival has released a second round of artists additions. The Chicago festival — slated for July 13-15 at Union Park — has added the following artists:
the Klaxons
Menomena
Deerhunter
Fujiya
Oxford Collapse
Beach House
Dan Deacon
Craig Taborn’s Junk Magic
For those of us not so familiar with these bands, Pitchfork has some succinct descriptions for each of them:
Atlanta psych-rock powerhouses Deerhunter, Portland-based experimental pop trio Menomena, dance-rock juggernaut Klaxons, sleek Brits Fujiya & Miyagi, Sub Poppers Oxford Collapse, neo-slowcore duo Beach House, fantastically insane one-man-band Dan Deacon, and boundary-breaking jazz ensemble Craig Taborn’s Junk Magic.

Updated lineup after the jump…
Looks like the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival has now expanded beyond its initial lineup with some interesting add-ons. Your favorite indie hipsters are set to rock out Union Park here in Chicago on July 13-15.
The latest artist additions include:
De La Soul
Stephen Malkmus (solo)
The New Pornographers
Battles
The Ponys
(via Gaper’s Block)
I like these additions…a little old-schol hip-hop (De La), some indie rock big-whigs (Malkimus and New Pornos), the latest electro-rock/indie buzz band (Battles), and some local Chi-town rockers who are increasingly going national (The Ponys).
Full lineup and info after the jump…
