Is that a new avatar?? Yeah, I thought it was a strange venue too, but I reckon it'd be fun.... apparately, Portishead even control what is played on the TV's in your room.... and strangely enough, I like the sound of that....!

NEKRO138 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 This looks brilliant. I am very tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I went to ATP last December to see Sonic Youth and The Stooges. It's a strange venue but it works somehow. I warn you that the smaller stages have very odd music on. I tried and tried and tried and all i found was weird atonal music being played on the saxaphone, or two men with basses making feedback. Because of that the main stage fills up very quickly so you have to get in early for the stuff you want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that is the case for ALL ATP's though - surely all the acts are picked by the hosts? I'm hoping that even the small stages are going to be good??

BoroughGal Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Did anyone go to this? I did and it was absolutely brilliant. Really had a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code13 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Did Portishead actually play new material then? There new album is allegedly coming out in April, but I will believe it when I see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroughGal Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yeah, they did 3 or 4 new songs, which were really good, a little different from the old stuff, faster, but obviously similar too. Considering I didn't know the songs, I was really impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
