LATE GUEST AT THE PARTY

RE-LOCATION: CHECK

2012-02-12T18:00:00.000-08:00

Watching online Grammys page buffering and waiting for some delivery chicken sort-of food...that's why we're writing this first post of 2012.
So, dear followers, we finally moved to New York. Our bat-cave is in Brooklyn and from here we'll try to take over the music industry with cannon-balls like this

and this

or this one too

Anyway, after 10 days of rush-hours and hard times looking for a house, some decent furniture, food and remarkable night-outs, we're finally set to go. That's why in this lazy freezing sunday we went to Coney Island, that is pretty much similar to the place where we're born.

Therefore
Here's the LGATP's Coney Island Sunday Photo Contest:

INSTAGRENZ::

GABRI:

ALEX:

DAVIDE:

don't forget to vote! Now let us watch the grammys or tomorrow we won't be able to chat in bars!

p.s. missed Avan Lava show last night. damn musician finances. Avan Lava, if you're reading this, comp us for the next show, ok? appreciate it

Last mix giveaway from 2011

2012-01-02T09:36:00.000-08:00

The last playlist was arranged by Davide and it's made of music that helped him to go through this 2011 without killing anybody.
8 alienating tracks. It's also good if you want to recover from NYE binge drinking. It features songs by Shabazz Palaces, Factory Floor, Nicolas Jaar, Little Dragon, Modeselektor and many more.

if you want a number 9, pick one between John Maus "Streetlight" or P.J. Harvey "Let England Shake" and you'll have a suitable playlist for making sweet sweet love.

Happy New Year!

3rd playlist (time for drums)

2011-12-29T06:47:00.000-08:00

Hey,
...time for a new playlist made by our drummer Renzo and is composed by his most listened songs released in 2011, so it's a "Best of 2011". It's a mix of indie-electro stuff that you should like a lot, enjoy!!!

Next (and last) playlist by the 31st.

Much love

LGATP

Second Playlist

2011-12-27T05:26:00.001-08:00

Hey,
here it is the second playlist made by Gabri...it's a dope "mix of funky, rnb and magnum 45" directly from the '70. Hope you like it!

Next playlist by the 29th...so stay tuned.

Much love

LGATP

2011-12-25T10:32:00.001-08:00

New single video premiere

2011-11-09T02:43:00.000-08:00

Hey,
yesterday came out our new sick video for our new single Electric Bongos and Popmatters premiered it on its website...you can watch it HERE!. Always from the wonderful director Andrea Zucchini (see some of his works on www.andreazucchini.tv).
In the last post we forgot to tell that the B-side "Icebergs" also features Randy Schrager, the drummer from Scissor Sisters....It was a great pleasure having him and Slam Donahue working with us in the studio on this song. We also can prove it with this video of Randy playing with the human cowbell.
soooo watch our new video on Popmatters and if you like it go and buy it HERE (U.S.) or HERE (IT).

Much Love

2011-05-10T09:23:00.000-07:00

this video reminds me the studio time in NY...

....I know for sure that chuck brody likes this

new live, new life

2011-04-30T05:21:00.000-07:00

thinking how many times we played this song

now we're preparing a new live, that means new line-up, new instruments....something like a new life!

talking about point of view

2011-04-11T06:20:00.000-07:00

It was difficult to see LCD last show. They were a landmark for everyone inside the band and believe me it's difficult to have only one point of view inside a band...well LCD was the common point of view for us, and now the party is finished!

Well there's another great influence in our music...hope to see Gorillaz once in my life....

RIP LCD...

News? yes please!

2011-04-06T03:21:00.000-07:00

Soooo...here what's happening...

Last month we did a remix for the great Hesta Prynn. Now is out and you can purchase it here on Reynold Records. Our remix is for the song "Motive"....hope you like it!!!
Also on Reynold Records website (just scroll down the home page) you can see our old video.

If you want to see a funny interview and if you can understand italian here's a link for you.This interview is for XL and it comes with a free download compilation which features one lgatp old song "Laeticia noir bon bon"....download here

We're also planning some shows in italy and us with all the new songs we did in NY, but it's early for that now.

Peace

LGATP

1, 2, 3, 4, maybe 5

2011-03-14T02:37:00.000-07:00

Hey,

we're still alive...came back from NY and still in the mixing sessions.
Luca is working hard on new lgatp design and we're setting up a new live set.

We've so many things to say and so many things are changing, but we'd like to wait and see how everything will be. So....follow these news and see what happens next!

New Album New York - episode 3

2011-01-24T14:43:00.000-08:00

3rd episode of our video blog: new recordings, new featurings ( Randy from Scissor Sisters), Renzo playing @ Cake Shop with Slam Donahue and a great free-style/jam session at the end with fabulous M.C. Clucky

Randy from Scissor Sisters in studio playing Late Guest's Iceberg track!

2011-01-18T08:46:00.000-08:00

This is Randy from Scissor Sisters playing some percussions for our next album here at Fireplace Studio. He's awesome. So Awesome that we ran out of drum stands, so we used Gabri to hold a cowbell. Good Gabri, get the job done.

Today New York offers a nice cozy freezy rain so we'll stay in studio recording more vocals and experimenting a bit. You don't want to go out with this weather though.

Tonight Hesta Prynn's performin at Webster Hall, we might show up there and have some fun, her rehearsal yesterday here was great.

keep you posted,

comprende?

and now, something unexpected: we got songs titles!

2011-01-17T12:25:00.000-08:00

Check it out, it's not a tracklist but it's a good feeling having titles there on the board.

Find the intruder, win a slice of pizza (ooops that was a hint i guess...)

by the way, we're keeping on experimenting on those tracks with keyboards and recording vocals.

sorry if we been mute this weekend, but it's been an hard one, hard like hardcore i mean.

see ya

Time for Keyboards and Vocals

2011-01-14T13:45:00.001-08:00

Yo...

So is time for Keys and vocals here at Fireplace Studio.

Tonight we're gonna get some picture here on the roof of the studio (12th floor!). Hope NY seems beautiful as we see it right now.

Tomorrow (saturday) Renzo will play a show here at Cake Shop in NY with the band Slam Donahue that are looking for a drummer. They're pretty good guys playing great music....and Renzo is shitting his pants.

See you soon

NYC Video 1

first video footage by zucchini aka "iguanus sinphonycus"

late guest at the party - recording studio - nyc from Andrea Zucchini on Vimeo.

Lost and found

2011-01-06T16:08:00.000-08:00

Second day here at Fireplace studio, 11th floor at 127, 25th west,Chelsea,Manhattan.

the day began with a weird email: hey it's jimena (our landlord here in East Village), this Greg guy called me saying he got Gabri's wallet."

Greg is in Brooklyn, we're in Chelsea close to the Empire State Building. In the pic, we show you the path we guess Gabri's wallet did to get to Greg's. Save a little prayer for him (Gabri, Greg's fine).

Three days in New York, wonder what could happen in one month...

Anyway, Renzo worked hard today, and you can see his plagues in that other pic, this is what happens when your producer is an american and your drummer is an italian. Cultures clash. And it's not over yet for today. Keep you posted on hand's health tomorrow. By the way, the drums are very groovy until now, we like that.

We met a guy here, helps Caleb in producing, who do some Hip Hop/ Tip Tap, here's the link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgjn66JceYg

Fresh.

Keep in touch,

Lg(atp).

Late Guest at the Empire City

2011-01-05T16:24:00.000-08:00

So here we are, at the 11th floor in a Chelsea building in undergoing renovation. It seems like the only thing still working here is our lovely Fireplace Studios, that's where we are at the moment.

First impact: workmen brought us up here with a freight, after we casually met our producer, Caleb, in the street holding those classic boiling coffee cup.

Two drums pattern already done, 4 super salad bowls, no beers yet (there's a whole fridge to fill up by the way, so that next posts will be more interesting maybe).

Jetlag killed our videomaker MotionPiadina, he's not in motion so much lately, so for today here you can get the only rare footage of our first day in studio.

Gabri is sick and the only words he said is "cough cough". Renzo, aka "Rensou", is silent and focused on milking the groove from a freaking 80's Yamaha drum set we chose, you'll see it's awesome. Davide found skelter on his Iphone playing lame games cause he discovered he suffers from vertigos.

Alex is in L.A., enjoying warmer temperatures and palms and his flip flops, fucker.

See ya tomorrow.

NEW YORK

2011-01-04T12:49:00.000-08:00

Comunicato ufficiale (che fa molto serio)

2010-09-28T03:41:00.000-07:00

Ciao,

è un po’ che non ci facciamo vivi e l’EP digitale in uscita in questi giorni forse vi coglie un pò di sorpresa…Ma si sa, noi siamo fatti così.
L’EP, in streaming in esclusiva su Rockit la scorsa settimana, contiene un po’ del nostro passato, del nostro presente e del nostro futuro. Ogni canzone rappresenta un passaggio e ci è sembrato bello raccontarvi così la nostra storia fino ad ora.
In realtà abbiamo tante novità per il 2011, non sia mai che l'anno dopo finisca davvero il mondo.

Prima, e triste: Padre Ivano Tonelli, pericoloso intellettuale, ha deciso di lasciare la band….nessuno scazzo, solo scelte prese e strade che si dividono.
Seconda: A Gennaio andiamo a New York a registrare il nostro secondo album. Il produttore sarà Chuck Brody (Ra Ra Riot, Sean Bones, Shy Child e tanti altri tra cui Yoko Ono e Jennifer Lopez…si proprio lei). Nessuna pretesa di fare i fighi (anche perché i nostri fisici non ce lo permettono), ma solo la decisione onesta e sincera di rinnovarci dopo "Come Back Bobby Perù" e di vivere un esperienza che sogniamo da quando ci son spuntati i brufoli.
Un assaggio lo trovate in anteprima nell'EP, si chiama “Pills” ed i Not an Exit ci hanno già fatto un bel remix bomba, a cui vanno i primi ringraziamenti: Luca e Alex ci fanno ballare, ci registrano i demo, ci fanno le grafiche ( nono.grafica@gmail.com ), ci accompagnano i figli a scuola quando la mattina siamo ancora strafatti.

Terza: Abbiamo il videoclip di "Revolution in her closet" pronto per uscire dalle nostre casine ed entrare nei vostri salottini, computerini, telefonini.

p.s. scaricate il nostro ep ed il nostro disco qui http://lgatp.bandcamp.com/

Insomma,

Ci si vede al prossimo party,

LG(ATP).

a new EP is coming

2010-09-20T06:07:00.001-07:00

This will come out in digital download on wed the 22 of september.
Thanks Luca for the amazing work .... nono.grafica@gmail.com

Thanks a lot Ivan

2010-07-14T03:59:00.000-07:00

This is for Ivan...he decided to leave the band.
Thanks for all the moments we had together (bad things included).

Ivan show @ La Chiave from lateguest on Vimeo.

....VERY SOON SOME IMPORTANT NEWS...STAY TUNED
