Banned from ATP for being Assholes

According to an interview with Village Voice, and summed up by Brooklyn Vegan, the organizers of All Tomorrow's Parties, who run rock concert festivals in weird out of the way locations where you would likely go to summer camp, have blacklisted the Butthole Surfers, Killing Joke and the Black Lips from future concerts. While he didn't elaborate on why the Buttholes & Killing Joke were included in the list, he said that the Black Lips broke into a chalet (ie in the US we call it a cabin or hotel room) and stole stuff. What kind of stuff I wonder. Not the first time these bands have been called assholes, and I'm guessing not the last time either.

The next ATP festival is at Kutshers in Monticello, where, as a kid in summer camp, I went ice skating (a sort of thrill in the summer), fell down, and had a fat lip for a week.
