Hive Mind (Los Angeles, CA)
Hive Mind – Return to Steam
Hive Mind is a brutal patch of analog smog birthed in the bleak landscape of Detroit, Michigan and currently casting shadows in Los Angeles, California. A constantly throbbing, full frequency signal transmitter which is only limited by the physical restraints of time and the artificial constructs of society, Hive Mind has both blessed and cursed us with dozens of musical communications in almost every imaginable format.
Pushing the limits of analog media and revealing the coldness inherent in the …

GRKZGL (Montreal, Canada)
GRKZGL – Ainsi tout fout-il le camp
Hailing from Montreal, GRKZGL (also known by some as Alexandre Scarfone) has been genre-dodging since 2003, progressing from his digital gurgles and cosmic drones to his current excursions in noise. He also plays alongside sax player Cabral Jacobs and drummer John Brennan in the trio Chansons d’amour (and with Brennan as Totems), with Martin Sasseville (Wapstan) in the tape warble-based Incapables and in a duo with synth wizard Emilie Mouchous as Gmackrrkzgl.

Lloyd will be concentrating on more meditative and quiet compositions more so than anything he’s done before. He will likely be using contact mics and hand-made acoustic contraptions along with looping and weird drones. However, circuit-bent pedals and/or other home-made electronics are pretty much always a …

Cut Hands (London, United Kingdom)
Cut Hands – Backlash
Cut Hands is William Bennett who founded Whitehouse in 1980, with a mind to creating “the most extreme music ever recorded”. They succeeded. The group remained at the forefront of the experimental and noise scenes over the next 27 years, invariably creating controversy and stimulating debate with their choice of violent and sexual subject matter, before eventually disbanding in 2007. A specialist in linguistics and unconscious communication, Bennett now helms the mass hypnosis experimental project, Extralinguistic …

The Artists

Dead Boomers (Melbourne, Australia)
Dead Boomers – Vintage Summa Cum Laude
Dead Boomers is a Melbourne based duo dealing in heavy electronics and lurid forecast. Active with other projects including True Radical Miracle and the Sabbatical label, Dead Boomers was conceived initially as an outlet for the members’ interest in contemporary harsh noise and industrial electronics. Over time focus has been drawn towards more defined compositions driven by an austere approach to structure. The prospect of an aging populationdominates these ominous narratives, exploring anxious visions of a seemingly …

Kid Bastard (Boston, MA)
*Child Abuse canceled, Kid Bastard took their place.
Kid Bastard is a side project of a few bands in the Brighton/Allston area of Massachusetts. It’s tempting to call it a super group, but you’ve probably never heard of any of our other bands either.

1/7 – Heavy Breathing, Klit + more

The Artists

Heavy Breathing (Richmond, Virginia)
Heavy Breathing – Grey Tape
Frigid and oppressive industrial electronics from Richmond, Virginia. Hissing synth scrape, straining frequencies and vitriol for both the willing and unwilling.
A Heavy Breathing performance falls loosely on the power electronics end of the noise spectrum and is vocal and synth heavy. The set usually consists of between one and three constructed “pieces” that are largely contingent upon my perceptions of the general atmosphere of the show. I am not interested in pursuing the tropes of power electronics (confrontation, …
