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 …

Black Bloc (Fredonia, NY)
Black Bloc – On The Brink of a New World
Black Bloc has progressed from its original anarcho-crust leanings through forays into anarcho-primitivism and finally this: a raw, emotive style that would make watchers of Fuse TV curl up in a fetal position and wish they were never born. Black Bloc wants to show you his scars–all of them, be they physical (his whole body is tiger-striped with cut marks), mental, or emotional. His sound is like the misery of humanity itself pouring like smog out of …

Pusdrainer – Portal
Harsh Noise/Power Electronics project of Justin Lakes (also of Friends With Corpses and Orbiting Formats). Began early 2008 as a strictly harsh noise project, Pusdrainer continues to shift between HN, Power Electronics, and Beat driven industrial heaviness.

Pusdrainer’s set will consist of a crunbling harsh wall with heavy feedback and pitch shifted vocals crying for help on top. Accompanied by a video backdrop that loops and churns depravity and degradation until the set dies.

Holzkopf (Montreal, Quebec)
Since 2001, Holzkopf has been developing a style of hypnotic and frenetic dance music made from a mishmash of homemade tape collages, blown out drum machine beats, dumpstered Chinese pop cassettes, raw data noise, barely controled feedback and smashed and grabbed found sounds. The sound is remenicent of proto-industrial, disco, hip-hop, global psychedelia, gospel and breakcore synthesized into a complete unique whole unlike any one component part. This is futurist and anarchist music made on cheap gear, recorded live to tape or dusty old …

In his infamous show that has astonished and bemused countless people in over 40 countries, yeldham ecstatically purses his lips against sheets of amplified glass whilst deftly employing various vocal techniques ranging from throat singing to raspberries, turning discarded shards into crude musical instruments. The results are a wild …
