Miniblog 1 – All Tomorrow’s Parties

By mairimcintosh

I have had no time to blog, but there have been some great gigs in the last month or two that I really can’t let go past without comment, however brief. 

All Tomorrow’s Parties at Butlins in Minehead – curated by Explosions In The Sky – was great.  I loved the manageable size, having own shower, loo and bed, access to the beach, great company, and obviously the music was pretty fantastic too!  Highlights included:- Beach House (good for hangover), Dinosaur Jnr, Four Tet, Jens Lekman (awww, happy!), Mono, Silver Jews, The National and The Field.  With The Field being my overall highlight – being on at 1.45am on the last night, only the hardcore remained.  I’ll definitely be going to further ATP’s – unfortunately the Nightmare Before Christmas looks like having a pretty unappealing lineup.
