[/floatl]ATP Confirms I'll Be Your Mirror in Tokyo, February 2011!On Sunday 27th February 2011, All Tomorrow's Parties will collaborate with Japan's Creativeman to present their first Japanese event. Named after the b-side to The Velvet Underground's original All Tomorrow's Parties 7" single, the one day I'll Be Your Mirror event will take place at Studio Coast, Tokyo, Japan. Acting as sister events to the ATP Festivals which usually take place in holiday resorts, I'll Be Your Mirror will be a new series of curated events taking place in cities worldwide. For this first event ATP will curate with a stunning line-up of artists to be announced soon when tickets go on sale. The intimate event will feature music, DJs, and art from James Jarvis of Amos Toys. ATP promoter Barry Hogan: "We feel really excited that we are finally coming to Tokyo to present some of our favourite Japanese and International artists. It's been something we've wanted to do for many years and this first edition of I'll Be Your Mirror will be a sample of future projects we plan to bring to Japan"...more...
All Tomorrow's Parties hold some of the best music events in Britain so it'll be interesting to see whether they can carry the mood over to Tokyo. There is usually a curator who picks the acts for the festival. In the past, bands like Mogwai, Sonic Youth and Portishead have done the job but the role has also gone to people like Vincent Gallo, Matt Groenig and the Chapman brothers. Occasionally, they've held a fan vote to select the bands. This will be a sister event, held on just one day, so it isn't clear if there'll be a similar organizing principle.
