With bands like The Flaming Lips, Deerhunter, and Animal Collective all on tap and crazy concoctions like Bob Mould with No Age (performing as H&uuml;sker D&uuml;) and the Boredoms doing a 9 drum <span class="caps">BOADRUM</span>, this is gonna be a crazy weekend! It starts tonight with several legendary performers reprising classic albums and a highly publicized reunion from The Jesus Lizard that we are especially amped for! Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll be catching tonight (full review tomorrow hopefully!) and you should join along. I&#8217;m skipping the comedy stage, most of those guys are from the area already.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 130%;">3:15pm</span>: <a href="http://www.thedrones.com.au/"><span >The Drones</span></a><br /> The first act to take the stage this weekend are from Australia and are here to promote their upcoming album (which just happens to be on <span class="caps">ATP</span> Recordings). Even though they are promoting a new album they will be performing <span >Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By</span> in its entirety. I&#8217;ve honestly never really listened to their music so this will be a new experience for me, but since they are the first band of the weekend they will probably get my undivided attention and a lot of my bubbling&nbsp;energy!</p> </div> </div> </div> <!--paging_filter--><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T1GqbJwP1MQ/SqgBkjH51TI/AAAAAAAAHeo/cdPXALpxmPg/s1600-h/atpny.jpg"><img border=&#8221;0&#8221;&nbsp;style=&#8221;marg</a></p><p><a href="http://slashtheseats.com/node/16565" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://slashtheseats.com/node/16565#comments animal collective ATP festival Bob Mould Deerhunter Dirty Three Hole Hüsker Dü Iron & Wine Lollapalooza No Age Pavement Suicide The Bodies The Drones The Feelies The Flaming Lips the Jesus Lizard The River Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:00:00 +0000 Pop Tarts Suck Toasted 16565 at http://slashtheseats.com
