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.

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, …

Fossils (Ontario, Canada)
Fossils – Live @ Silent Barn 2010
On this November 2011 U.S. tour Fossils consists of David Payne (tapes, mics, electronics) & Rob Michalchuk (alto sax, trumpet, clarinet). David Payne began building his Fossils empire back in 2004. Since that time Fossils has colonized the underground circuit with a steady flow of ultra-limited tapes/cdrs, many of them through David’s own Middle James Co imprint. The Fossils sound is always one of formless despair. Churning low-grade electronics, primitive tape manipulations, and an aura of stoned reverie are …

Reviver (Norwalk, CT)
Reviver – Snakes in Repose
Begun in early 2006, REVIVER is the solo noise project of Connecticut’s own Chris Donofrio which strictly utilizes a controlled network of graphic equalizers to create raw environments of low frequency death-drone countered with nails-on-chalkboard scrawlings . Having released recordings almost exclusively on cassette tape format for the past 5 years (both independently and on several notable noise stables such as Temple Of Pei and 905 Tapes), REVIVER continues to shape and refine …

Sudden Infant (Berlin, Germany)
Sudden Infant – Tandoori Chicken Scooter III
Born 1965 in Switzerland and currently operating out of Berlin, Joke Lanz (aka Sudden Infant) is one of the most prolific and profound artists working in the border zones where performance and body art meet Improvisation and Noise. In his Sudden Infant guise, Lanz creates a unique blend of physical sound poetry and epileptic noise bursts, using contact microphones, loops, tapes etc. The result is an extreme form of musique concrète that juxtaposes spasmodic …
