Warp Films and ATP have programmed a unique UK cinematic/live tour of the
documentary ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES screening together with a live concert
from Brooklyn based art-rockers Les Savy Fav plus a DJ set by ATP founder
Barry Hogan, from 23 October 2009, prior to the DVD release on 9 November
2009.

Condensing 600 hours of footage from 200 contributors including fans and
musicians that have attended recent festivals, All Tomorrow's Parties is the
result of a project to document the legendary cult music festival from it’s
beginnings. With key contributions from co-director Jonathan Caouette
(Tarnation) and cinematographer Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade
Fire) and featuring amongst others: Belle And Sebastian, Grizzly Bear, Sonic
Youth, Battles, Portishead, Daniel Johnston, Grinderman, David Cross, Animal
Collective, The Boredoms, Mogwai, Slint, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Gossip, GZA,
Seasick Steve, Iggy and the Stooges, F**k Buttons, Shellac, Patti Smith and
John Cooper Clark.

The film’s been described as “a rousing, kaleidoscopic celebration of the
seaside indie-rock festival” (Time Out), and together with Les Savy Fav’s
jaw dropping stage antics, audiences will experience what happens when
experimental film and music collide in these one off special events. The
‘one night only’ theatrical tour, with Les Savy Fav, will visit Manchester,
Glasgow, Leeds and London from Oct 23 – 28, with special screenings also
taking place in Brighton and Bristol

UK LIVE/THEATRICAL TOUR:

Fri Oct 23 – Manchester Deaf Institute (sold out)
Sat Oct 24 – Glasgow ABC 2
Sat Oct 24 - Brighton Duke of York (film only)
Mon Oct 26 – London Forum 
Tue Oct 27 – Leeds TJ’s Woodhouse Club
Wed Oct 28 - Bristol Watershed (film only)

because beak> is a small band on invada , were flying over and we cant bring loads of musical equiptment with us, so i was wondering if there was a band in paris that could help us out with lending BEAK> some instruments for a day...we could pay a little hire fee...

1 little drum kit with cymbals and stool [old jazz if possible]

1 bass amp [old one if possible] with a 1x15 speaker cab

3 gtr amps [not big rock ones]

PORTISHEAD to feature in new All Tomorrow's Parties film

Portishead feature alongside Belle And Sebastian, Sonic Youth, Animal Collective, Daniel Johnston, Boredoms, Mogwai, Slint, The Dirty Three, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, GZA, Iggy and the Stooges, Shellac, Patti Smith and many others in the new feature documentary from Warp Films.

ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES is a kaleidoscopic journey into the parallel musical universe of the cult music festival of the same name. The film is a semi-found multi media bricolage shot by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival’s recent history, with key contributions from co-director Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and cinematographer Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire).

The film premiered at SXSW and is being screened worldwide throughout the year. It's DVD release is set for September.

The UK premiere presented by Future Cinema will happen on 24th June at the Edinburgh Picturehouse. It is a unique live cinema event which will see the venue transformed into a 1950s Holiday Camp, with the film being brought to life through a fusion of music and performance; with DJ's including Belle and Sebastian's Chris Geddes, midnight bingo, and live music culminating in a very SPECIAL HEADLINE SET from a top-secret Scottish act.

"Stunning...A truly immersive experience, All Tomorrow's Parties runs the gamut from raucous energy to magisterial grace...This remarkable film encapsulates and sculpts the ecstatic abandon of shared musical experience into a thing of opulent brilliance. All Tomorrow's Parties is a film to fall in love with." - SXSW Festival

"A cascade of sound and fury...the range of what this movie covers exhausts me...The highest compliment I can pay the film is that it made me want to attend the festival for real...not just your average concert film, [it's] in a class by itself...One of the singular film experiences i've had so far this year." - Hit Fix

John Sharp 1964 – 2009

I was lucky enough to work with John over a few years.  I first met him when he was producing and writing Blue Lines with Massive Attack at the Coach House when I was a tea boy: later I got to know him as a friend and a mentor. 
The enormity of his influence and ideas on British music is sadly never likely to be acknowledged. 

His influence on me was ginormous and he will be missed. 

Our thoughts are with his family.
