Noise Fest (Part 3 of 3)
Avoidance Behavior - Live at Noise Fest
This experimental unit is an early Lee Renaldo project and partnership with David Linton. Ranaldo's steel wire guitar rushes were captured by Linton onto tape, where they were looped and manipulated. Ranaldo returned the favor, splicing together freshly recorded swathes of Linton's drumming (not heard here). I imagine this would be quite disorienting at loud volume pinging off of echoey gallery walls.
Borbetomagus - Live at Noise Fest
An outfit that might be familiar to the ears of avant-jazz skronk lovers. Much like Sonic Youth, this group still chugs along, though in far greater obscurity. In fact, they guested on SY's Murray Street, so I suppose the two bands remain friendly. This recording captures an aural assault of multiple dissonant brass attacks. Here's a link to their site, which includes a discography and upcoming shows.
Khmer Rouge - Live at Noise Fest
It might not register these days, but it was either an incredibly gutsy or snotty move to come up with a band name such as this not even a decade out of the Vietnam debacle. This is pretty great song though, it wouldn't be out of place among the Manchester sounds developing at this very time.
For those interested in the Speed Trials, the 1983 follow-up to Noise Fest, Vinyl Mine did a pretty great breakdown and review here.
