Explosions in the Sky to curate All Tomorrow's Parties 2008

Post rock outfit Explosions in the Sky have been named as curators for the upcoming 2008 edition of All Tomorrow's Parties. The event, which takes it's names from a Velvet Underground song is a frequent festival wherein the performers are chosen by a notable band or group with a tendency towards post–rock, avant–garde, and underground hip hop.

Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore once described the event as the "ultimate mix–tape." For their run, Explosions will be naming more than 30 performers and the first batch have now been confirmed: Broken Social Scene, Iron and WIne, Dinosaur Jr, And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead and Adem.

More details are expected in the coming months.
