Oneida bring The Ocropolis to Nightmare Before Xmas

All Tomorrow's Parties curators Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced more acts for this year's Nightmare Before Christmas event.

Cult New York rock band Oneida will be transporting their multidisciplinary studio/performance space The Ocropolis from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Minehead.

For a special all-day event, Oneida bring the impetus, spirit and community of the Ocropolis to Minehead for a full day of improvisation, collaboration, and recording which the festival attendees can witness first hand. Oneida will perform continuously throughout the day, sometimes with guests from the rich array of musicians also performing in the festival, sometimes alone and mostly improvised. Oneida previously presented the Ocropolis at ATP New York 2009 where they played for around 10 hours and finished with a headline set of their recorded material.

Other new additions to the line-up include 'Hanged' with Tony Conrad, Thee Oh Sees, Matana Roberts, Land of Kush, Philip Jeck, and John Butcher.

Playing alongside the event's curator's Godspeed You Black Emperor! will be Weird Al Yankovic, NoMeansNo, Josephine Foster, White Magic, Emeralds, Boban & Marko Markovic Gypsy Orkestar, Daniel Higgs (Lungfish), Wolves In The Throne Room, Marissa Nadler, Growing, Rangda, Neurosis, Bardo Pond, The Ex, Deerhoof, The Dead C, Black Dice, Francisco Lopez, Tim Hecker, Mike Watt, and Scout Niblett.
