Reviewed 2009-07-11
Document of a quite an amazing festival held in the Twin Cities in 2006. Primarily noise-rock, noise bands. Edgy dissonant “out-there” stuff. See track by tracks.

1) Zip Code Rapists: very low fi simple rendition of My Generation
2) T.I.T.S.: noise rock, driving bashing, soaring guitar melodies, “chanted” female vocs a la X-Girl
3) Slum: beautiful bashout noise improv rock
4) Nate Denver’s Neck: low fi white “hip hop”
5) Mayor Daley: good irreverent noisey rock, female “vocals”, not a bashout
6) Death Sentence Panda: brief bashy, ends cold
7) Nmpergin: chill near-ambient noise, mellow
8) Steve Mackay & the Radon Ensamble: improv with saxaphone in forefront
9) Taiwan Deth: improv with violin/cello, vocalizations, bells, chill
10) Rusted Shut: looped bashout with repeated “fucking” but its so buried that its hard to tell really whats being said… hmmm? Technically FCCs for sure, but…
11) The Flying Luttenbachers: angular no-wavey heavy stuff
12) The Cherry Blossoms: low fi minimal with girls, Slits feeling in the vocals
13) Smegma: noise, old synth based
14) Sapat: electronic, analog sounding with halting drum machine, weird
15) Yellow Swans: fuzzed out bliss noise with a subtle beat
16) Coughs: noise rock plodding, female wailing
17) Zip Code Rapists: long intro, low fi stupid version of “you are so beautiful”
18) Scarcity of Tanks: Early Sonic Youth comes to mind, noise rock with a break down in middle, spoken stuff
19) Noel Von Harmonson: beautiful noise, droney layers of distortion and shit, low fi, long track
20) Oxbow: very brief, 30 seconds, then the song seems to just drop out followed by 90 seconds of silence, careful!
