Lips and Mouse head LA2004 ATP...

All Tomorrow's Parties line-up has been announced...

Saturday, November 6 and Sunday, November 7 are the dates set for the third annual All Tomorrow's Parties at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA with festival curators Modest Mouse as Saturday night's headliners, while The Flaming Lips will headline Sunday on a bill featuring The Shins.

Both Modest Mouse and The Shins performed at last year's event and they continue the tradition of consecutive repeat performances. Sonic Youth curated the inaugural Los Angeles event and performed last year, while The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening curated the 2003 event, describing it as "one of the high points of my life." Noted Richard Cromelin in the Los Angeles Times (11/10/03), "All Tomorrow's Parties' reputation as pop's most adventurous musical safari stems from its policy of turning over the programming to a designated 'curator'."

Please don't hate me for living 1.2 miles from the Queen Mary.

Didn't this get cancelled last year?

It was cancelled in 2001, I believe, as it had been scheduled only a month after the terrorist attacks and Sonic Youth still couldn't even get to their studio.
