Spoon, Mogwai Added to Slint-Curated ATP Fest

A scant few months after Slint abruptly reformed and announced plans to curate a February 2005 UK edition of All Tomorrow's Parties-- and shortly after said hoedown completely sold out, lineup sight unseen-- the band has gradually condescended to, you know, announce some other bands. Those fortunate enough to possess tickets to the February 25-27 soiree at the Camber Sands Holiday Centre (or those wealthy enough to deprive other fortunate souls of their tickets via eBay) will enjoy the musical stylings of the following Slint-approved favorites:

Slint
Spoon
Mum
Matmos
Mogwai
Love as Laughter
Need New Body
Mighty Flashlight
Mark Kozelek
Faun Fables
Neil Hamburger
Endless Boogie
Pearls and Brass
Rednails
Sean Garrison
The Naysayer
Born Heller
Brightblack
King Kong

Given the size of past ATP lineups, that's likely not a final list, so you might want to check ATP's site in weeks upcoming for late-breaking lineup additions-- if you're lucky, they might even release a few more tickets. Meanwhile, in other Slint news, the band's post-ATP reunion tour continues to expand like your post-holiday, pumpkin pie-addled waistline. Slint's PR confirms that this reincarnated outfit is a trio consisting of Brian McMahan, David Pajo, and Britt Walford, with no current plans of adding a fourth member, as during the Louisville group's early '90s Spiderland heyday.
