Masters at Work: An Interview With All Tomorrow's Parties Founder Barry Hogan By Scott Thill ![]() Since then, Barry Hogan's avant-garde brainchild All Tomorrow's Parties has overtaken country clubs and holiday camps with astounding sets curated by a pantheon of greats, from cranky engineer Steve Albini and Simpsons guru Matt Groening to Sonic Youth, Sleater-Kinney, Mogwai, Modest Mouse and many more. The latest addition to Hogan's curator collection? My Bloody Valentine's notorious, reclusive genius Kevin Shields. Oh yeah, and his band's first U.S. show in over 15 years. Not bad, dude. Not bad at all. Listening Post caught up with Hogan to discuss what it took to get Shields back in the U.S.A., and why his sonic influence has only grown exponentially larger in the decades since My Bloody Valentine first started destroying eardrums back in the mid-'80s. Hogan also holds forth on why Tortoise is playing Millions Now Living Will Never Die instead of TNT, and why the American musical event of the year is taking place in the Catskills. Wired.com: My. Bloody. Valentine. Nice score. How did it come about? Barry Hogan: Kevin Shields has been coming to ATP gigs and festivals for years. I've always let him know that I was interested in putting My Bloody Valentine on, should the band ever reunite. We share a similar interest in music, and I think Kevin likes the fact we are independent and don’t try and play the game that calls itself the music industry. Wired.com Personally speaking, what are your thoughts on the band, especially Shields' sonic innovations? BH: My Bloody Valentine defines the word "sonic." Its live sound is like nothing else. It's harsh but beautiful. For years, we have seen or worked with various noise acts, but after seeing the band live, everyone will reevaluate what they are doing. Everything else is like Diet Coke to My Bloody Valentine's real thing. To say it has raised the bar is an understatement. Wired.com: Where you rank this ATP among those that came before it? And what's Kevin like in his role of curator? BH: People will not be disappointed. It can't be compared to anything else; it's the most unique show I have seen in years. Kevin Shields is great to work with. He is super-focused and knows exactly what he wants. We're really honored that we are presenting their first US show in 16 years. Wired.com: A music fest in a country club is a trip. Who clinched the location, and what was the plan? BH: Brian Schwartz, who manages Dinosaur Jr, mentioned it to us. He used to go there as kid. After he came to our UK edition, he told us about a place in the Catskills that would be perfect. I had looked at it online a few years ago, but Brian is the man that put it on the map, so he deserves all the credit for sourcing this location. Wired.com: Who are some of the acts in this ATP who might be lost in My Bloody Valentine's prodigious shadow? I'm thinking Autolux. BH: I think Silver Mount Zion deserve more light. Whether they are seeking that or not is another question, but they are one of our favorite bands and constantly underrated, in my opinion. I am also excited by The Drones and Fuck Buttons. ATP releases their records. I'm also excited about Les Savvy Fav and, of course, the mighty Shellac, who on a bad day are 100 times better than most bands. Wired.com: Who curated the full-album show? I'm digging them, but I wish Tortoise would playTNT. BH: I did. Yes, TNT is great, but Millions Now Living Will Never Die has a special meaning to me. Tortoise was the first band I promoted at ATP. And I love that so many people who bought the record thought it was damaged, because of the fucked-up part of "Djed." I know Rough Trade in London had various people trying to return their copies because they thought it was ruined. When you see them recreate it live, you will see true masters at work. |

What old songs shall the rock stars play at All Tomorrow’s Parties
By Matthew Kantor All Tomorrow’s Parties Sept. 19 through 21, Kutshers Country Club, Monticello, NY; for more information visit www.atpfestival.com. In a scene where the hottest bands are generally the newest and least known—if you’ve got an unpronounceable name and play 3 a.m. shows in Bushwick, you’ve got it made!—suddenly, everything old is new again. At this weekend’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, a three-day, 20-plus-band orgy of sound, bands like Meat Puppets and Built to Spill will take the stage to play decades-old records, and shoegazer icon My Bloody Valentine will play its first U.S. show in 16 years. For fans, these shows provide an opportunity to hear landmark records and see live what they’ve been listening to for years. For the musicians, however, this wave of nostalgia doesn’t hold the same appeal. “It’s not just us recapturing something from our youth,” says Meat Puppets bassist Cris Kirkwood. “We’re still able to find new vitality in the songs and we’re getting more hellish about it as we age.” Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore, who will be playing his 1995 solo album Psychic Hearts at the fest, has a drier take on performing vintage material. Having performed Sonic Youth’s groundbreaking album, Daydream Nation, in its entirety last year, Moore is well acquainted with the pitfalls of revisiting past achievements. “I had no interest in doing it. It’s the same thing as Daydream Nation,” says Moore. “I wanted to move forward. I didn’t want to spend a year touring and rehashing Daydream Nation even though it turned out to be something really rewarding for me. I was asked to do Psychic Hearts by Barry Hogan who curates ATP, and I said I would do it kinda because I wanted to see My Bloody Valentine.” Wry MBV incentive aside, Moore maintains that he’s still having fun playing Psychic Hearts’ material because of its straightforward, barn-burning nature. The ideas that formed the album also remain clear and accessible, and the music that inspired his bid at rock transcendence stays relevant. “Psychic Hearts was a conceptual record for me,” he says. “I wanted to make a record utilizing these song riffs that I didn’t wanna elaborate on. I was really into the idea of repetition. A lot of it was wanting to take little lyrical ideas I had in notebooks and set them to simplistic patterns. It was influenced a lot by the first Nirvana record. It intrigued me how they had simplistic note patterns. I related it to what I liked about bands like The Fall who even had a song called “Repetition.” To express it was very explicit, too—it has a rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic. Those are the ideas that were at play. It certainly wasn’t a grand gesture.” “I don’t really think of [record albums] as nostalgia,” he adds. “I think of them as these signifiers that everybody has personally that people then share, especially people around the same age. There were a few records that were extremely potent for me at a time that was really crucial. I was nineteen in ‘77 so there’s the first Patti Smith record, the first Ramones album, The Sex Pistols’ album, Television, Richard Hell and The Voidoids. That whole first generation of punk records was extremely important for me and still is. I can put those on and they still inspire me to write music.” No stranger to blazing punk trails, Meat Puppets first New York show, in 1982, included Sonic Youth on the bill. As part of the SST label’s family, the bands shared a home with The Minutemen as well; in fact, the tragic loss of Minutemen frontman D. Boon affected some Meat Puppets II music well before All Tomorrow’s Parties. “Certain songs took on a certain flavor years ago,” says Kirkwood. “The Minutemen covered the song “Lost” [“Lost on the freeway again/ Lookin’ for means to an end”] and then D. Boon got killed right on the highway here in Arizona. He was a special person and ever since then “Lost” has always had this certain flavor to it, this certain essence to it. It’s touching in that way that speaks to all of us that have been playing music for such a long time.” After a recent recovery from some harrowing experiences that included drug abuse, the death of his wife, a bullet in his back and a prison stint, Kirkwood is not immune to the emotions evoked by still being alive and playing with his guitar-slinging brother Chris, decades removed from their origins in the Phoenix desert. “I put myself through years of hell,” he says, “and to actually be back and healthy and playing with my brother again is touching. Some of those things will come up, like damn, it’s my brother and we don’t have a lot of family and it’s touching in that way. That occasionally can surface but still it’s always about the same shit it’s been about.” Moore has a more pragmatic take on the idea. “We’re able to sort of not have day jobs, that’s the most important thing,” he says. “I don’t know how long that will last now that the industry is kind of in this situation where people aren’t buying the documents. It’s sort of frightening. I’ll have to start mowing lawns pretty soon. That’s what I used to do when I was fifteen, now I’m fifty, so I’ll have come full circle”. |

All Tomorrow's Parties, Day One: Thurston Moore Dusts Off A Mid-Nineties Fan Favorite “I have Thurston-itis!” screamed one fan during Thurston Moore’s set Friday night at All Tomorrow’s Parties. The cure, apparently: Really loud guitars. Moore, the longtime Sonic Youth guitarist, played all of his 1995 solo album, Psychic Hearts. (Friday featured several artists playing entire records, with Meat Puppets performing Meat Puppets II and Built to Spill doing Perfect From Now On). Moore’s performance was more than solid, even though he apparently only know the words to two songs – he was reading lyrics off a music stand for much of the set. Though it felt like a niche set, the venue was packed, and both My Bloody Valentine mastermind Kevin Shields and Moore’s wife (and Sonic Youth bassist) Kim Gordon were looking on. Moore seemed playful as he ran through the album -- which features a load of excellent fuzz jams, dissonant guitar spills, and some of his punkiest songs ever -- bantering with the audience before “Cindy (Rotten Tanx)” about how “this next song is not about Cindy McCain – at least I didn’t think it was,” and self-deprecatingly (and inaccurately) describing Psychic Hearts as “written in one day, recorded later that day and mixed that evening.” |

just got back after 10 hours sitting in one form of a moving vehicle or other
great festival, lots of good drinks, rowboating, bocce ball and drinks my favs of the whole things would have to be Bardo Pond, Tortoise, Thurston, Polvo, Shellac, Yo La Tengo and Dinosaur My Bloody Valentine was late to the stage and teased the crowd a little too long, and were rather underwhelming, and certainly use their volume to compensate for their lack of stage presense on the sonic front, Thurston didn't play Psychic Hearts in order as was expected, he started with a truncated rendition of Elegy for Dead Rock Stars and proceeded to play in what order he saw best fit also the Year Punk Broke screening was very memorable, Blues Scale was hilarious, and at the beginning Dave had special give away: his own very personal one of a kind YPB promo poster with screencaps he cut and pasted onto it, made back when the film was released, and he gave it to the person who could guess the working title of the film "tooth or hair" (play on madonna's truth or dare) but no one had the sightest clue, so he asked if anyone knew what his first band was, I blurt out "Painted Willy" and he said "close enough" and gave it to me, after the screening got him to sign it while a gaggle of photogs were taking pics of that (pics later) so i had a nice drink.... umm i mean time.... ok i am intentionally hinting at how shitfaced i got on friday night and stumbling around and hitting my head in the old ass elevator |

Mercury Rev was far better than i was expecting as well. for the DLB stuff, Tortoise took that one going away. god i'm tired.
