All Tomorrow's Parties New York returned to Kutsher's Resort in the Catskill Mountains this weekend, beginning with "Don't Look Back," a full day of bands tackling their classic albums from start to finish. Australian swamp-garage godfathers the Scientists made their first-ever U.S. appearance to showcase their seminal 'Blood Red River' album and Mudhoney raised the old flannel flag, tearing through grunge masterpiece 'Superfuzz Bigmuff (and Early Singles).'

Then it was Iggy's turn. Using benchmark 1973 album 'Raw Power' as a jumping-off point, Iggy & the Stooges blew the roof off the Starlight Ballroom with a hit-heavy set of surging, sweaty intensity, before surrendering the stage to reunited doom metal trio Sleep (pictured above), whose return to 'Sleep's Holy Mountain' tested the limits of human hearing.

If day one was any indication, ATP festival-goers are sure leave on Monday morning a little battered, little bruised, and totally blissed out.
