Just a really quick one to announce The Sounds UnSound Festival. It’s a mini festival we are curating featuring improvised, noisy, ambient, left-field experimental or out-there rock acts. We’re still in the process off lining up acts – if the above sounds like you get in touch before the bill is full.

It’s happening on the 2nd April 2010 at The Bald Faced Stag Hotel in Leichhardt, kicking off at 2pm. We’ll have around 8 acts so it’s sure to be worth a look if you’re into the weird stuff.

Static and Silence Album Launch – AWESOME!

19 February 2010 by , No Comments

Thanks to everyone who made it down to the Static and SIlence Album Launch, we had a blast! Defektro started off the night in great style with his solo noise show – moving from ambient to drone to full on noise with the aid of bizarre hand crafted instruments played through his huge array of effects. Very very impressive. Check him out if you get a chance!

Following up we had the experimental noise pop of Newcastle’s Crab Smasher, definitely a band after our own hearts, playing an intense and almost punk inspired (post-punk anyone…) set with drums, guitar, bass, keys and occasional vocals.

Varlets were next and made a hell of a lot of noise for a two piece playing a very short crunchy crowd pleasing set with drums, guitar and mixing desk (yes mixing desk…).

We were last up and I could not be happier with our show, I felt we really gelled and were as together as we’ve ever been playing experimental improvised music in Forenzics. Thanks to everyone who hung around to the end of our set, I know midnight is pretty late on a school night.

Also thanks to Sue at the Excelsior for booking us, Dylan for mixing us, Tim for his lighting wizardry, Ed for his video work, and Michelle for the thankless task of selling our stuff on the night.

I’ll be posting some video and possibly a link to a review over the next few days.

Once again thanks for making it such an excellent night!
