Fresh from releasing Fuck Buttons spectacular debut (see below) and organizing/curating shit loads of amazing concerts and festivals, those lovely guys at ATP had some bad news to deliver this morning. LA noise-rockers Liars have pulled out of their support slot with Battles in London this May as well as their position on the impressive lineup of the Explosions In The Sky-curated ATP festival. Why? Why? Why? Well, Angus and the gang have been bagged as the main support slot for Radiohead's forthcoming mammoth-sized tour of America. Hail to the thief indeed. Bad news for me (and whoever else was looking forward to seeing them support Battles or playing at the EITS ATP fest), amazing news for the band, who have bagged arguably the biggest support slot of 2008, playing up to 20,000 people a night. The question is, will the Radiohead fans dig Liars noise-rock? I honestly do think so, whats not to like? Judge for yourself. Here are some mp3s taken from last years superb self-titled album. enjoy:
Now, whilst this is sad news, I for one was very excited to see Liars as I have not yet seen them live. Battles and Fuck Buttons is still an immense line-up for the night anyway (I'd still fucking go if it was just John Stanier and his drum kit), and ATP will have a replacement act announced by the end of the week, so it is not the end of the world as previously thought. However, ATP are offering refunds on tickets if this really has ruined your night. For more information, click here.
