I don’t normally go around whoring stuff around, but I’m fucking wrapt with how this recording and gig turned out.
I wouldn’t know how to describe it. Our main influences are Khanate, Burzum, Sunn O))) and Merzbow, if that helps. We just turn up and make it up on the spot. We cop a lot of sceptical looks for that, but when you’re playing guitar and bass on a synth at the same time, it makes it a bit easier to make to sound tighter if you’re going to improvise.
pretty cool stuff. i really like the vibration feeling int he intro. if i lived ANYWHERE near you i would say that i would love to come see you one night… haha.
my mum fell over and started crying when she saw what I had done to my hair. I made it better by telling her my girlfriend was pissed about it. she didn’t like my girlfriend much. [cool]
You’re on to something here. The drones and guitars (esp. the reverb stuff round the 10 minute mark) were the best stuff. Not sure about the vox, particularly the screechy stuff but I never liked that kind of singing. Did ye play much together before this recording?
Which dude in the show are you, Dildo? The last video I saw (the GG tribute) you were wearing a mask, and aside from that my point of reference always seems to leave me looking for the guy in your yearbook photo that you posted last year.
I dig it! Someone’s working really hard at channeling Mike Patton, but that’s alright in my book. Particularly like the understated oscillator sweeps and towards the end when the grinder shines through in the mix.

We’ve been playing together for about 2 years. The drummer, keyboardist and I would just jam more as an excuse to hang out. I don’t think we’ve ever bothered to write or structure a song once. It was just fun to play shit super loud and piss off all the neighbours or bands unlucky enough to be jamming in the studio next to us.

re: my face: you’re too kind [:|]
Gunnar:
I’m the one with the guitar and the angle grinder and the monobrow.

I’m with you there on the oscillator sweeps. It’s a shame our keyboardist decided to leave. We might have someone new come in to keep it interesting, but it’s a bit of a drag. I wasn’t shocked when he told me he was quitting, but I was surprised given we’re finally starting to get gigs happening.
I haven’t got any studio recordings. I’ve refused to make any, but if we do make recordings, they’ll be live which makes sense to me given it’s improvised. All the recordings and photos up on youtube were provided by friends, so it would have been rude not to. I know the other guys are into documenting stuff. We’re all too lazy to do anything about it, though. But, I will definitely make you an mp3 and email it to you if you provide me an address in your inbox.
First thing I see when I load up the video is a shaved-headed guy operating a grinder.
DEAL.
[:)]
EDIT: Why didn’t I remember that was you? Didn’t you do that at another gig once?
You don’t remember because you don’t love me like you told me you did in that card you sent in the mail to me on George Costanza’s birthday.
I do it at all the gigs, coz it’s a way of me expressing man’s innermost turmoil within an avant garde medium through Brechtian post-modern self-analysis, and also the fact that sparks look cool. [angelic]
Just got back from a show out of town. We got a new dude on ‘noises’. He made this video out of all the stupid shit that happened before and after the gig interspersed with live footage.
I cringed all the way through it and it’s truly embarassing. I hate seeing myself on camera, let alone for referencing this on the way up;
May I just make it clear that I was not responsible for the Baboon 3.
I’m spewing he left out the footage of the angle grinder cutting through the armour I made for our singer and just barely missing him. We put a suit of metal armour under him, put sausages and blood packs on top of that, and I cut through him with the angle grinder to make it look like a real disembowelling. He was in agony just from the heat alone, even though no skin broke, so we’re probably going to have to rethink some of our stage antics for the next show…
