Music movie of the decade: ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES at Ritz!


ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES Tues & Wed at The Ritz!


In an out-of-season holiday camp on the coast of England, cult music festival All Tomorrow's Parties serves up a heady combination of alternative music, crazy golf and chalet-living; all curated by a single band or artist. This post-punk DIY bricolage uses material generated by the fans and musicians themselves, on a multitude of formats including Super8, camcorder and mobile phone material, over the history of the festival, to capture the uncompromising spirit of a parallel music universe.

Artists documented include Lightning Bolt, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Belle And Sebastian, Sonic Youth, Portishead, Daniel Johnston, David Cross, Animal Collective, The Boredoms, Les Savy Fav, Mogwai, Octopus Project, Slint, The Dirty Three, The Gossip, GZA, Iggy and the Stooges, Mars Volta, Shellac, Patti Smith and many more. Essential viewing for anyone who's ever liked music. Period.
