Greetings from ATP NY!
Posted on September 19, 2008 at 12:41 pm | No Comments
Well, technically I’m about a 15 minute drive away, hooked up through complimentary wireless at a Days Inn in scenic Liberty, NY. Just finished a four-hour solo drive from Boston, and roughly three hours from now, down route 17 at Kutsher’s Country Club in Monticello, Bardo Pond will take the stage as the very first performer of the inaugural All Tomorrow’s Parties NY festival. Between now and the finale, 35 bands (and 4 comedians) will be split between two stages, with fest closers My Bloody Valentine finishing things off in the early hours of Monday morning. My ears are rested and ready.
The killer schedule…

Ticket Giveaway: Lymbyc Systym + friends in Boston
Posted on September 9, 2008 at 7:32 am | No Comments
A friendly reminder: Entries for this giveaway must be received by midnight tomorrow, Wednesday, September 10th. Also, fans of the Lymbyc Systym and This Will Destroy you should tune into the internet stream of WERS after the show (1am on Monday the 15th) for a dual interview and a live L.S. performance. Read on for show and contest details…
Tempe, Arizona instrumental duo The Lymbyc Systym just kicked off a two week tour with the mighty This Will Destroy You in TWDY’s hometown of Austin, Texas, and their journey will bring them here to Boston on Sunday night, September 14th. Also on the bill at Harper’s Ferry that night are Cambridge’s own Arms and Sleepers, fresh off their own North American tour, and gearing up for a UK trip later this month.
Courtesy of local promotion/flyering company Extinguish Boston, I’ve got a pair of spots on the show’s guest list to award one fortunate Almanac reader. If you’re game, drop an email to giveaways [at] bradleysalmanac [dot] com with your full name, the town you live in, and “LYMBYC!” in the subject line (and yes, spelling counts). Send your entry before midnight this Wednesday, September 10th, and I’ll choose and notify the winner Thursday morning. Easy enough.
For your education and listening pleasure…
Mp3: “Truth Skull“
Mp3: “Threads“
Mp3: “A Mission To Prague“
A footnote: Keep eyes and ears out for a recorded pairing of Lymbyc Systym and This Will Destroy You later this year when Magic Bullet Records releases “Field Studies”, which will feature three new Lymbyc tracks alongside two new ones from TWDY. Magic Bullet also plans to re-release LS’s self-released 2005 EP “Carved By Glaciers” with new artwork and remixes. Good news all around.
