I totally ignored this stuff while it was happening (mostly because I found the scene too impenetrable/daunting) so this is pretty interesting to dive into with next to no context.

you were an sfindie bro weren't you? the action was happening on spockmorgue iirc
― sarahell, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:40 (eight years ago) link
oh I saw some shows and was tangentially aware of various people (lol Filthmilk) and I've always kept a toe in various experimental scenes and subscenes but a lot of this stuff felt very aggro/east coast and just kind of... why would I buy a record of this, y'know? idk this was happening at a time where I was def not feeling a lot of contemporary scenes and was digging more into older shit, just tons of stuff from the 70s mainly. The noise scene seemed like a real headache to keep track of.

i think that dude is getting kicked out of his space. He once backed into my bandmate's car. For a while he was doing noise shows in Potrero park, which were fun.
― sarahell, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:47 (eight years ago) link
cops shut down the one show we tried to do at Potrero park, man that was a disaster. shouldn't have publicized it.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 4 March 2016 21:49 (eight years ago) link
SFPD stopped us from setting up, brought along like 6 cars full of cops - 2 weeks later they sent a bill for $3,500 in overtime charges demanding that we pay it. fucking leeches.
(we did not pay it)

I tried to get deeper into SF stuff (Hospitals, KIT, Numbers, Spacek), because this was a problem with the poll from jump, but if Lamp and sarahel want to tell me who i'm forgetting, I'm all ears

we had this discussion upthread, where you pretty much dismissed most of the relevant Bay Area acts as "too rock"

The bands you mentioned — Burmese and Total Shutdown and Mae Shi — are all on here!
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 4 March 2016 22:25 (eight years ago) link
I won't deny that I do have an East Coast bias tho, because that's where I was at!
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 4 March 2016 22:26 (eight years ago) link
Yeah Pink and Brown/Burmese/Total Shutdown/XBXRX/USAisaMonster were too "rock band" for the poll,

Ouch campaign was a real pioneer in what would basically be how the music industry worked from 2005 to present

Guerilla Toss and Horse Lords are the only bands I can think of that formed after 2010 that belong in this class. I really miss the abundance of insanely great experimental/noise acts in the 00's.

they miss themselves too -- now everyone's older and is having kids and merch sales doesn't offset the cost of touring the way it used to, and now it's all about darkwave and minimal wave and live PAs

V disappointed I missed Whiney's mixes.
Idk why I never got deeper into this scene; maybe just out of fear that it would be exhausting to keep up with it all?
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 19:10 (six years ago) link
well it's over so it probably wouldn't be too exhausting

it was fun- I remember there was a whole section at a record store here that was just CDRs and tapes spraypainted with like... leaves and twigs and shit glued to the packaging

Just combing thru the Wolf Eyes discography was exhilarating... RIVER SLAUGHTER is my favorite of all those limited shits I got

Wolf Eyes has been really good about keeping their Bandcamp robust, and I've been enjoying the ability to hear a lot of this stuff
― Sutcliffe Juugin' (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:26 (six years ago) link
Why does no one bring up Sun Foot, Human Adult Band, PC Worship, Kaleidoscope, FNU Clone, Timeghost, HOGG, etc. Tons of bands are plugging away. There is no one scene, but the bands are there. Some one should start a label to document it.
― sneaker_bomba, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 00:54 (six years ago) link
PC Worship and Timeghost rule
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 02:01 (six years ago) link
because the only thing less lucrative than being in a noise band is running a noise label?
― sarahell, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 02:44 (six years ago) link
this thread is a treasure. was sad that links to Whiney's mixes were broken. still... a ton of stuff to hunt down. was peripherally aware of some of the bands discussed here, but mostly just got into Wolf Eyes and Yellow Swans - though tbh the only Yellow Swans album I ever loved was Going Places which is pretty much ambient music (and released in '10).
― beard papa, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 15:21 (six years ago) link
yo this Universal Eyes (Aaron Dilloway / Gretchen Gonzales / John Olson / Nate Young) album is amazing

I miss the whole Hair Police/Air Conditioning/Sightings vibes where it looked/felt like a Black Flag show with dudes thrashing around on instruments and people sweating all over, but sounded like a garbage truck eating a smaller garbage truck.
