So did I, but I was talking to Steve at ATP a few years back and thought "what the hell", and asked Steve to sign a few discs, when I pulled out the HDU he mentioned he didn't record etc...

Was this the ATP that HDU played at?

I wish I'd been at that one!

ATP 02

Shellac was in charge. It was the best so far in my opinion, there was a really interesting mixture of bands, Silkworm and Melt Banana through to Cheap Trick and The Breeders -with ex-member of Fear as the backing band, the encore of "I Don't Care About You (Fuck You)" was amazing.

The only one I've been to was the Slint event at the begining of the year... it was cool. But friends of mine rave about the Shellac ATP.

Have you heard of an NZ band called Jakob? Any good?

Yes, I brought a copy the last time I was home. Very nice, minimalism in the extreme.

Sounds interesting. I'm doing a CD order from home at now so I'll have to add them to the list.

I've just seen a band that has stolen your user name! Are they any good?

Antonio Gramsci is an Italian neo-Marxist philosopher, so I can't take too much credit for the username. But as far as I know the NZ band Gramsci are very good.

I've been really getting into Superette again at the moment, Tiger is a brilliant record.

Tiger is a great album. One of my favorites. I really like Mulchay's previous bands too.

This band Gramsci... I'm not sure that mixing existentialism nonsense with music is a good idea. It sounds pretentious to me... they must be students or somthing.

Well, there were from Wellington... Even Shihad are very political in their lyrics

That was my attempt at a joke. Mulchay's previous band were The JPSE.
