Please consider:

FRIDAY 9 MAY

Rosalind Hall and Marco Cher-Gibard
Pig and Machine
Glee Cartel
Either/Or
Solid State and Sympathia

7pm sharp, Friday May 9, Entry by donation

A night of diverse and intense audio/visual stimulation, featuring
acts from as far afield as Japan, New Zealand and East Brunswick!
Noise is a point of departure and a point of return.

Solid State and Sympathia are spatial and dissonant, an interrogation
of resonance in its many permutations. It is a dialogue between
digital and analogue, involving ferrous metals and field recordings,
among other things.

Either/Or is a keen eyed and eared scavenger in a world of
discardation. This performance will include mutated magnetics, found
and recorded loops, and dumpstered mp3 players, deftly DIY'ed
together.

Glee Cartel is half human, half insect king of the earth, weaving
dense textiles of sound from disarming, disparate threads. Looping,
ebbing flowing, frothing, carpet to line your inner ear.

Rosalind Hall and Marco Cher-Gibard furnish the listener and viewer
with an engaging, articulate, and technically impressive audio/visual
experience. Live-fed cross examinations of the saxophone are cut up,
processed, manipulated and re-projected in real time. This is a
communication through air, tone, wire, lenses and light, and
establishes a compelling dynamic between the real, the captured, the
hyper-real. Simply must be seen!

Pig and Machine have freshly relocated to Melbourne from a vivid Osaka
noise scene, and their performances are searing hot costumed
energetic. Hovering between noise punkk, breakcore and day glo gospel,
they are very, very difficult to stand still to!!!!

There will also be vegan treats! Come along and be merry!

SUNDAY 11 MAY

Sustenance by Oliver van der Lugt

FREE!!!!!!! 6-9pm

Sustenance is a one-night only exhibition by Oliver van der Lugt. This
is what he has to say about it: "Some people would call it art, i
prefer to call it a constellation. It encompasses sound, projection,
light works, an interactive installation, drawings, objects,
photographs and soup. This is a measure of time (travel) (has gently
amassed over the course of just under a year of living in melbourne),
drawn from/ with what is at hand. Sometimes intuitive/ obtuse/ oblique
investigations of environment, syntax, colour, light, texture, rhythm,
listening, mapping, narrative, decay. Come along to construct and
collapse, bathe in space, play, talk, eat soup, lay on the floor. (and
say hello before i leave for japan and europa!)"

Oliver is also talking about making some soup so if you are hungry for
eye/ear/stomach food on Sunday evening you know where the action is.
Hope to see you at one (or both!) of these events...

This Friday and Saturday...

2008-04-16T18:43:00.000+07:00

Hi everybody,

This is what we've got for you:

Lost Animal
Barrage
Das Butcher

Friday April 18, 8.30pm, $cheap

This Friday night features three of Melbourne's finest solo acts.
Wait, come back! There's not a single acoustic guitar strummer amongst
'em:

I think we might have said before that Lost Animal is one of our most
favourite new local things. The top two influences listed on his
myspace are Suicide and Serge Gainsbourg, and that kinda nails it,
but, you know, not really. Sparse, raw songs with crooning vox and
minimal backing. "Say No to Thugs" is a stand-out earworm.

Barrage: The Big Issue sez: "The austere moodiness of early 80s new
romanticism and the bounce-riddled aesthetics of early 90s melodic
electronics ... [with] a strangely disturbing edge." Mess + Noise sez:
"A chronicle of order and disorder for a golden dawn" which is, uh,
meaningless, but has a nice ring to it. We say that Barrage is just
about the cutest little boy you'll ever meet, and his brand of fucked
pop is sweet AND sour, and largely pork-free.

Das Butcher reckons: "Mother used to always speak backwards to me,
then one day I found a casio rapman in hard rubbish, I got dressed all
in blood, made some noise, & this is what happened." He's not joking
about the blood neither.

Khuruksetra (Indonesia)
Spit
Krystoffkrvstoffiston

Saturday April 19, 8.30pm, $cheap

Khuruksetra is an Indonesian experimental noise group influenced by
Javanese performing arts and the Bharatayudha War. A collaboration
between the members of Kalimayat, Whisperdesire, Hypervillain & a
Poet. Now based in Sydney. Featuring Danif Pradana, Mikael Mirdad,
Enrico Utomo and Andra Fembriarto. This is a rare opportunity to see
em do their thing in Melbourne.

Spit is the performing title of Ryan Cockburn, a New Zealander who is
a sometime/past member of EYE along with Peter Stapleton (Victor
Dimisch Band, Pin Group, Scorched Earth Policy, Dadamah, Terminals,
Handful of Dust, Rain, Sleep, Flies Inside the Sun... ), Nathan
Thompson (Sandoz Lab Technicians, Sleep) and Peter Porteous
(Empirical), among other things. He's in Melbourne now and we're not
sure what to expect: Cheap toy guitars, mixers, microphones,
turntables with busted records and computers are all part of his kit,
and his recorded output seems pretty varied... His rekkid label (UFM)
says "If the Dead C had kept making records in the vein of 'Operation
Of The Sonne', but ditched the drums and the electric guitars, they
might have ended up here. If the Clean got incredibly lazy and started
forgetting to finish songs or turn the radio off or sing properly..."
Best to just come along for a look yourself.

Krystoffkrvstoffiston: "From dehidrated northcote dusty lungs full of
grief and god's wrath splutter forth omnipitant pain and anguish.
coroading twin neck guitar and organ acompany these death throughs
only barely riseing from collapsing in heat stroke, this is mottled
Southern Hemisphree Black & White Metal!!!! other project ST John's
Ambience, MOFFARFARRAH, Collapsed Toilet Vietnam, White Horse,
MofHoRah, Malakat, Slotholith, 1/16th headed, Dumb Crystals, Paeces,
MFFRvsBNS, EOH,Kimberly, Bohemian Knights, Alley oops (ex-Slam Dunk!)
and Half man Half Moffafarrah." So, yeah, these two guys who're
involved in a swag of skewed local musical projects do this great
bleak/black ("bleack"?) metal / doom / drone + scree thing. And
they're doing it with the best bandname in town.

Forepaw: FRI 11: DOWN THE CRATER OF TORTE

2008-04-10T00:14:00.001+07:00

An evening of sweet treats for ears, eyes, and open mouths.

Featuring:

Thugquota
Van Diemen's Band
Deb Ball
Bethany J Fellows

7.30pm, $5

Thugquota, tough enough to rush at you with a swag full of his own
twisted notions of pop songs and not fall over. Sweeter than a beach
ball at least, heavier than a lamington.

Van Diemen's Band, we know nothing.

Deb Ball has its first outing. Dan Bell, giver of inepitude and bad
vibes to Ladder and Happy Party is leaving behind a mountain of half
working electronics and travelling light with drum machine, keyboard,
tape loops, pedals and home made trinkets. Searching for scratch and
sniff kraut wallpaper.

Bethany J Fellows is a Melbourne based artist currently doing mostly
performance stuff. Her subjects are wide and varied as she explores
the iconic, celebrity and self, seeking to subvert the current
social/cultural/political climate. Known for her humorous and offbeat
projects, she is obsessive and quite acerbic in the kitchen. Some of
you might remember her Pray for Britney shrine from our first market,
and a few of you might have been lucky enough to catch her dressed as
a taco on Swanston St. Bethany will be performing Energy
Transmutation #1 Sugar

SAT 12: SOME BANDS

Fatti Frances
Beaches
Default Jamerson

Saturday April 12, 8.30pm, $cheap

Fatti Frances is a newish pop band featuring Raquel Solier (formerly
Oh! Belguim, Jemima Jemima). With Help from Judy Garland aka Sarah
Weston, Geoff O'Connor from Sly Hats/Crayon Fields, Max Cohan of
Agents of Abhorrence and Tim Picone from Unstable Ape Records/The
Night Terrors. They sound pretty sweet to me.

Beaches features folks from local groops like Love of Diagrams, Spider
Vomit and Panel of Judges. They are good. Have a listen on the
Myspace. My favourite Beaches review so far: "melbourne 2008 = south
island 1983"

Default Jamerson is Marcus Cook. He just put out an album on
Sabbatical. The best phrase in their album description is "Brilliant
tone vapours". They also use the word "ominous". That should give you
an idea.

be honest.

mp3s and some context.
The Consumer Productions site has a pretty amazing archive of mp3s by
Hobart acts from over the last ten years or so. Dig deep, dig wide.
