Anyone else like this stuff? Noise music that is. I just got back from a show and I don't think I'll be able to go to sleep until I babble about it. Homemade synths, nasty effects, amplifiers, and flaming garbage cans played with circular saws abounded. All the bands were good too, which is a nice treat I don't often get. Forgot my ear plugs though.  Still, I don't need my hearing as much as I needed to hear that show. 
The bands were Neptune, Warhammer 48K, Destructo Swarmbot, Ho-Ag, and Ghost Ice (amazing!), if those names signify to anyone. I hadn't heard of them before today.

|  | Ojo. | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Beaumont/Calimesa, CA | | | i don't think i've heard any of those bands... but it sounds like music i'd be interested in. sounds like it's got its origins in john cage, ligeti, penderecki, stockhausen, kagel, ives, and a bunch of the other 20th century composers that i love. and i love noize. and strange sounds.
i'll check these bands out... thanks!

I think that noise for the sake of noise is annoying, but if the noise is an actual attempt at making something normally thought unmusical musical, i like it 
but if its just banging trashcans with glass just to make noise, then its not that great. |

Personal faves of mine are Kites, Jessica Rylan/Can't, D. Yellow Swans, Bastard Noise and Mindflayer.

The venue I saw them in doesn't have a raised stage or anything (just a rug), so we got to stand close enough to risk being impaled by Mark's pointy guitar. And they were totally cool with us peering at all their homeade equipment and my dumb questions about the same. "Hey, what's this thing?" "That's a spring I hit with a stick." 
Thanks to everybody that's mentioning bands, by the way. I don't have extensive knowledge of the genre, so it's good to have my horizons expanded.
