Title:	Graveside Doles
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$24.00
Catalog #:	UE 033LP

Limited to 400 copies. "Two of the most intense young 'free' dudes from different parts of the globe (Kelley from Boston, Neilson from Leeds) unite for this completely weird record, taking free music to a different level, recorded on top of each other via mail. This sounds like moving the heaviest metal closet on a little rubber boat from Brighton to the east coast of the United States, kicking off with a heavy free jazzy tune full of retarded trumpets stuffed with little babies screaming for a change slightly changing into ice cold acoustic metal scraping ambience. Tons of different sounds to discover and very unclear whether they came out of a trumpet, a drumset, a mouth or a whale. Comes in a black and silver fine line drawn cover by Dennis Tyfus."

"Disney characters with 4 eyes, squirrels without a nose and purple owls with a yellow mohawk are siked to announce this new Daniel Padden LP. Daniel Padden is a multi-instrumentalist and a full time member of the UK-based goof troupe, Volcano The Bear. For this new LP he used piano, harmonium, cello, amplifier, zither, tape recorder, concertina, banjo, thumb piano, viola, organ etc.. to create a beautiful fictional soundtrack for a cartoon film that had to be made in the '50s, but could have been made during yesterday's hurricane too. Or; a free dude going folk while trying to play chamber music and pouring a disgusting concrète tape collage sauce over the finished total. Comes in a watercolor/crayon/collaged cover by Dennis Tyfus, 400 copies." Limited stock.

Catalog #:	UE 039LP

"During the last Euro tour of Wolf Eyes, John Olson (of American Tapes, Spykes, Guam River etc..) and Mike Connelly (of Gods of Tundra, Hair Police, Failing Lights etc.) decided it was enough! They screamed 'I'M NOT GOING TO BED!!! I NEVER WANNA SLEEP AGAIN!!!' They missed their flights and stayed in Antwerp with the Ultra Audiobored Horror crew for 7 more weeks without food and drinks, just dry weed and cancerbags to suck on! After that intense test to see if they could adapt to the Antwerp life style, they finally met up with legendary Belgian eccentric cacti and hat collector CASSIS CORNUTA, this psychedelic character brought his whole space synth and tape lab over to radio central to record an intense last gasp jam with the hardly breathing Olson and Connelly, the end result is an amazing trip to space and back to the mental hospital! Like pouring lighter fluid and Tabasco up your genitals or like Olson states it so beautifully; 'like pissing on your own hand, freezing it and then using it as a lollypop for 5 days!' Comes in a gross 6-panel cover design and with an etch on the B-side!'

"Odd colored carpet of bizarre 3D fields dominate the bright and lurid psychedelic forests you'll have to run thru to grab a mug a brew at the end of the trip! Hop on the back of a giant pink elephant and let go, eventually follow his tiny dick-like tail if u are too small to climb up this pink turt in space! But do give it a try and check out what's left? Thats right: nothing! Just a puddle of restless throbbing poop in different colours. The elephant turns out to be a puddle as well and the sounds you're hearing are all on the most psychedelic Hair Police LP so far! This is definitely way different then any of their other recordings, way more high bliss, blown out delayed voice and hardly any harshness. Originally recorded as a Hair Police radio special for Radio Centraal in Antwerp! Thick black and neon blue eye destructive cover design and a psychic laser etch on the B-side of this 180 grams wax!"

Artist:	COMMISSARIS HJULER EN MAMA BEER
Title:	Mensen Die 'Kort Staan' Voor de Zelfdoding
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$27.00
Catalog #:	UE 044LP

"'Please translate all the titles and our names in Flemmish,' Kommissar Hjuler asked me for this record. This record continues the German couple's satirical approach to Fluxus, Dada, outsider art, whatever u wanna call it. Kommissar Hjuler is a police officer from a small village in Germany, Flensburg, where he lives and works with his younger wife, Mama Bär and their kids. Mama Bär is a full time painter. The Kommissar only started making music when he was already in his thirtees, heavily influenced by the strange music he had been collecting since the age of 16. Almost all of their music got released on their own SHMF imprint, mostly limited to less then 20 copies and always packed in handmade collages, paintings or even giant puppets or garbage melted together. They've done a bunch of collabs with greats like Rudolf Eb-Er and Jan Iwers. This LP includes three long tracks; a hysterical cover version of Suicides' 'Frankie Teardrop,' a piece about the Bronx (with some guest vocals of their kid crying) and a side-long screaming argument between a granddad and a kid which sounds so painfully loud and 'German' that every touring band will want to skip Germany in the near future. This record gives you a pretty good introduction of what they're all about. Kommissar Hjuler and Mama Bär's way of working reminds me of people like Bobby Colombo, Scott Foust, Rudolf Eb-Er or even Gil J Wolman. It's the last one in the Ultra Eczema 6-panel fold out cover series, limited to 300 copies."

Catalog #:	UE 045LP

"The trio of Bill Nace, John Truscinski and Jake Meginsky deliver their fourth spars, spaced scratched and creeped record, after their debut CD-R on Audiobot, an amazing tape on Bill's own imprint Open Mouth and an LP on Ecstatic Peace!. although this band uses only two guitars and percussion, they've built up a paradise of tension between instruments that by far don't sound like you'd think they'd sound. It does sound like someone is pulling your veins gently, softly focused on not really hurting you but having Chinese torture in the back of your brain. A no-named peasant would guess this music was made by an old dog collecting thousands of little pieces of metal, knowing exactly what they would sound like if u rub them onto another miked metal closet or a circuit-bent old wooden clock. Sensitive guitar molesting is never far away. I've heard the master for this record about 50 times before releasing it and still recognize new sounds in it. There's a lot of space on here, and it's really hard to figure out which instrument is which, not that it matters, but i did think 'what the hell is this sound made of.'" Besides XO4 and his solo work, Bill Nace also plays in a duo with Chris Cooper, in Vampire Belt with Chris Corsano, and in Northampton Wools with Thurston Moore. He also does amazing drawings, books and open mouth records/tapes. Both John Truscinski and Jake Meginsky also do amazing solo work! This record comes in a collaged cover design by Dennis Tyfus, limited to 500 copies."

Title:	0032 (0)3 2934834
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$26.00
Catalog #:	UE 046LP

"This LP collects a selection of phone calls made daily between May 5th and July 29th, 2007 as part of the group exhibition 'Virus' at the Hessenhuis in Antwerp. Most of these calls have been broadcast during the weekly 'Tyfustijd' radio show on Radio Centraal (106.7FM). The conversations on this LP are either really embarrassing, sad or mean. The people who weren't on the other side of the line thought it was funny, though. The conversations interlude with Vomgrill's analog synth and scruffy voice tunes which gives it a specific radioplay sound or even borders with sound poetry. Limited to 400 copies, full color cover design by Dennis Tyfus and Kermit Apetown. Comes with liner notes and a picture of a 11 year old Tyfus calling his grandmum. Better start learning Flemish!"

Artist:	STEEN, JOS
Title:	Music for Tape and Turntable
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$28.00
Catalog #:	UE 048LP

"Jos Steen is a remarkable outsider in the purest possible sense of the word. Telling stories about the dude always sounds like they're untrue or seriously exaggerated, the way he lives sounds like a fairytale and the way he acts would resemble the heaviest mix of Bukowski and Bobby Colombo. Jos lives in a tiny house underneath a radio tower of the national TV and radio station VRT, where he works as an audio librarian. The house is built on the highest point of the area in a forest. You can see it from miles and miles away. It's tiny but can be called a museum! It is full of homemade instruments and broken pianos, amazing wooden stringed instruments made of garbage and all kinds of foreign instruments no one remembers the name of. Since around 1964 Jos has been making poems, stories, paintings, collages, drawings and music/sound to kill the demons in his head or jam along to their forceful blues. Some call him 'the Belgian Beefheart' and the people that already forgot about Beefheart talk about a local little Howlin' Wolf. Jos always made self-released zines, tapes and more recently, mountains of CD-Rs of homemade blues, broken bottle experiments and heavy free music folk. This LP is a selection of tracks of a recent CD-R of tape and record player experiments spiced with vacuum cleaners, rotting voices, undefinable strings, pianos, etc. It's absolutely unthinkable his work could be potentially lost in time and space, for fuck's sake, the dude is a genius! In the past, Jos played with free jazz greats like Peter Jacquemin, André Goudbeek, Yvo van der Borght, with poetry psychos like Roland Topor and Freddy de Vree, and with Zappa's own Jimmy Carl Black who begged on his bare knees to play with Jos ... well maybe that's exaggerated as well. This LP comes in a gold and white cover by Dennis Tyfus and an offset printed insert!"

Artist:	THIELEMANS, ERIC
Title:	A Snare Is A Bell
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$28.00
Catalog #:	UE 049LP

"This is the first in a series of solo percussion LPs on Ultra Eczema titled STS. A meditative psychedelic experience is what I would like to call this, though I realize I make it sound like a silly zen blowout, and that's not what it feels like at all! When I first saw it live in a giant church in Mechelen, Belgium, I was yelling 'this is the best show of the year.' I thought there wouldn't be an end to it and didn't even feel a build-up to a more tense sound or a drone. There was a difference in resonating sound and it definitely changed, but as with more constructive minimalists such as Steve Reich or maybe even Terry Riley, you can't tell when things change. That experience got enlarged as well by the scenography he played in, a splendid eye-torturing construction, built especially for this piece by Antwerp-based sculptor Filip Metten. On record it feels different of course, as you can skip the needle up and down to the end and back, you can hear an enormous tension and sound difference. Though this piece is written for only a snare drum and a tiny bit of vocals (resonating with the snare drum) it sounds like either 20 people on a snaredrum, like if Glen Branca would invite 567 people playing the exact same snare roll, or like a choir, and by the end definitely like the sound of a Whitehouse LP; building up strongly to the point of absolute silence, which feels like a relief! This piece is based on a snare roll which changes 3 times. Live, this piece can go up to an hour or longer, on this record, it is one full side. The B-side is a psychedelic etch! Eric Thielemans is based in Antwerp, Belgium and has made percussive pieces for theatre, has played psychedelic guitar music with Mauro Pawlowski, spaced free music with Sickboy and Cassisini Division and a ton load of great free jazz with Andre Goudbeek and Peter Jacquemyn. This record is limited to 500 copies, has an insert and comes in a duo colored psychic design by Dennis Tyfus."

Artist:	ANGST HASE PFEFFER NASE
Title:	Glistening Inn
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$29.00
Catalog #:	UE 053LP

"Very very excited to announce the first LP in 10 years by Massachusetts-based Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase. Pretty much 9 years it took to make this album, I can not say I know a lot of people that have the patience to work on one thing that long, maybe I am mistaking hyper neurotic action with patience here though. Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase is the moniker of Chris Cooper, a multi-instrumentalist, cat and moustache toucher, neologist and member/guitarist or ex member/guitarist of bands such as Deerhoof, a duo with Bill Nace called Buddies (though Nace would love to see that name changed), Turbwasn, Fat Worm Of Error, Barn Owl, Caroliner, etc., etc., etc. Probably this is one of the most intense and most 'filled' records UE released so far, a precise collage of beautiful sound made with more instruments than a parrot could handle, such as plastic guitar, bass, clarinet, banjo, optigon/organ, egg slicer, ratchets, broken toys, fan motors, whirligigs, glasses, tape loops, etc. Poor rabbits quickly hide when they see the red head with the twitching eye play his tunes with more then 34 hands at the same time, this could be the soundtrack for some seriously fucked up road circus, dead rabbits crawl out of a lazy elephants hat while a sad tape loop of a rotting harmonium plays your uncle vomit's fave cough syrup tap dance blur, oozing for some romantic noise crackles, the nostalgia of the banana fish days puts him down in his cough again weeping like a black cat on an attic in New Jersey! Angst Hase has previously released 1 LP, 2 7"s, some comp tracks, and a recycled tape for RRR. Reminiscent to some Caroliner, Kemialliset Ystävät, Hans Grusel's Krankenkabinet, etc. Full color cover art/collage and full color insert by Dennis Tyfus." Limited to 500 copies.

Title:	Should Sisters Suck?
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$28.00
Catalog #:	UE 059LP

One-sided release. "I don't know a Rabi that yells as high pitched and psycho then Nik Rizili! And I don't know another guitarist besides Oren Ambarchi that can make strings sound like Yiddish yelling! They do sound like ladies that have their period non stop, since 5 years! And they do sound like they are 456 km away from the hospital while the head of a baby is forcing its way out of a mangina. So much stress, and strings so loose on a guitar that you can put both your legs and your two arms between the strings and the actual instrument. A hyperactive and creepy and slow carnival of absolute madness! Reminiscent to the more sparse parts of Harry Pussy, the screaming of Hanatarashi. Limited to 300 copies! Comes with an insert, a small poster, a sticker, an etching on the B-side, and found footage cover art by DT."

Title:	Toosassa

Catalog #:	UE 062LP

"When you go to Finland, a country where 95 % of the population is inbred, chances are that you will meet at least 7 members of the Avarus family! You can smell them from a mile away, they're the adults raising their kids on homebrew white spirit, continuously producing the kind of farts you can't hear though the stench is worse than the ones that sound like a brassband. Behind every Finnish tree there is a member of Avarus humping another Avarus member, and rarely a Kemialliset Ystavat member (the other 5% of Finns). The government of Finland is not proud of this sick family, they try to keep it silent, rarely give interviews to press from other countries and make sure planes hardly fly out. Though for some reason Arttu Partinen, Roope Eronen and Tero Niskanen made it as a trio in a small boat to the USA. The only instruments that made it were a few balloons and a crappy Casio. On arrival they found a microphone, a drum and more toys, climbed the WFMU building and played the craziest session ever! Like a bunch of children discovering the '50s Euro avant garde scene, the '60s psychedelic free jazz and pre-punk scene, the '70s sound poetry and punk scene and the '80s disco scene in one afternoon!! This LP sounds like a mix of all of that I guess. Limited to 300 copies, comes in a psychedelic duo coloured cover by Dennis Tyfus." Limited stock.

Artist:	PREGGY PEGGY AND THE LAZY BABYMAKERS
Title:	Get An Ace Case Of The Measles
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP

Catalog #:	UE 063LP

"While my face drips with pus, yellow soup, manjuice and morning yoghurt, I finally got an injection against measles, which I also suffered from until I found out about Preggy Peggy And The Lazy Babymakers (both thru a CD-R on the great Chocolate Monk and on Preggy's own 'Being Weird Isn't Enough Records'!), I thought they deserved it more then I did. As a 'price' I could release their record inspired by the subject matter. Which became a beautiful audiobook like a madman's guide to alienville! The medicine these chaps have to use makes em sing in different colours and add styles to each other that never heard of each other's existence. Preggy Peggy And The Lazy Babymakers basically got started because of Angela Sawyer's (Boston-based psycho record collector and owner of the great Weirdo Records store!) compulsive need to overdub a mountain of voices over a mountain of strange instruments played by JA, the other Preggy who apparently 'lives on one of New England's gray shabby beaches with a couple of miniature fluffy dogs'! They never play live, it is probably pretty impossible to do live anyway, and style wars it sort of comes near Sun City Girls jams with Francois Dufrene, remixed by a Texas hill billy. Both members were in a mountain of bands no one ever heard of, such as; Pig Sex, The Pie Plate Band, The Cool Breeze, Jet Jaguar Backing Band, Phenomenological Boys, Stick a Fork In It, Laser Laser Laser Laser, The White People, Cough Syrup, The Saliva Sisters, Giacinto Scelsi Tribute Band, White Cocaine, My Son's Coloring Book, The Whoop Whoop Girls, Jimmy & the Waffles, N. Soseki/T. Hatsuro, The Kantian Project, Instant Distance Mental Powers, The Whistle Band, Byron, Jimmy & Gerard, Les Garcons Sur La Plage, Life Partners, The A Minor Project, Moshi Moshi I Am the Decider, Goils Goils & Fripped, Swastika Niggers, Sun Shine Sanitarium, The Cloud Club, Scarcity of Tanks, The Depressed Horns, Fleetwood Sac & the Sex-Havers, Human Hairs, Grizzler Big Band, Exusamwa, Duck That, etc. Comes in a collaged cover with a new born baby on it and prince charles and an insert."

Artist:	VERCAMMEN, WOUT
Title:	Wout Vercammen
Label:	ULTRA ECZEMA (BELGIUM)
Format:	LP
Price:	$28.00
Catalog #:	UE 066LP

"Wout Vercammen (1938) is a highly influential visual artist from Antwerp, Belgium. A nonstop performer since the early '50s, described by Ludo Mich as 'the Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde from Antwerp. A tight dressed dandy, going bananas every night, and looking as tight and clean the morning after.' He has been inspiring the Belgian underground art scene for more than fifty years. He was the youngest artist making real paintings at the end of the fifties. Abstractionism reduced to one gesture. One sweep. One movement of the sword. One twirling horizon. Pulling Hokusai into space and time, Vercammen organized and executed the very first happenings in Belgium in the early sixties. Great collages, the only real pop artist in Belgium, latex word paintings, pneumatic forms before someone else got bigger with it. Always on the move. The way Wout Vercammen acts, performs, talks and moves is perfectly captured on this LP! When living in Antwerp, chances are you witnessed a Wout Vercammen performance without even realizing it, this is possible at any given moment. Smuggling jenever into prison, painting the copper dome of the Carolus Borromeus church white, filling blue garbage bags with air, and especially howling like a wolf, primitive throat singing and using the whole bar as a percussive instrument! Wout Vercammen changes reality, and makes it a tiny bit better. This record is a collection of accidently recorded 'moments' and a composition of a black, a yellow and a red paint bucket all shook up through a synth and a 4 track! All varying from percussive punk primitive madness comparable to Kommisar Hjuler, a strange conversation in a garden to soundpoetry, howling and screaming. I am absolutely psyched to release this, as Wout Vercammen along with Ludo Mich has always been my favorite Antwerp psycho! Reminiscent of Ludo Mich, Kommisar Hjuler, the Vienna Actionists, Hans Krüsi. The LP comes in a offset printed sleeve with pictures of the artist, an insert with more pictures and liner notes by art critic Hans Theys! Limited to 400 copies."

Catalog #:	UE 068LP

"Over 15 years ago, Daniël De Wereldvermaarde Botanicus (hat and cacti collector Cassis Cornuta) deejayed a ton of horrible 'La Bamba' versions for 2 hours in the now defunct situationist radioshow RTVS (Radio Centraal, Antwerp). The 'galdezen' of RTVS yelled/sung along, creating their own versions of 'La Bamba' while getting more and more hammered or naturally gone from a bamba trance! After telling me this short story, Daniël mumbled 'I always wanted to DJ all night long 'La Bamba,' I think it will drive people insane,' this idea expanded into making this international compilation LP, which was made for the Ultros Exemos La Bamba Night(Mare), February 28/2009 at Scheldapen in Antwerp. That night Daniël deejayed over 300 different versions of 'La Bamba,' only to be interluded by a giant lineup of artists performing a live 'La Bamba' rendition! This LP includes 'La Bamba' versions by; Sudden Infant! Floris Vanhoof! Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase! Bromptreb! Anla Courtis! Smack Music 7! Kommissar Hjuler! Mitt Land Och Leo! Human Hairs! Daniel De Wereldvermaarde Botanicus! Remork! Reijo Pami! Glands Of External Secretion! Jan Van Den Dobbelsteen! Rubber O Cement! Ludo Mich! Mama Bär! Tomutonto! Vvm & The Synthetic Voice Of Gaeoudjiparl Van Den Dobbelsteen! Daniëlle Lemaire! Kraus! and Fricara Pacchu! Some of these versions sound very very far away from how you know 'La Bamba;' others sound a little bit closer. Limited to 400 copies!" With color insert: "...Daniël's dream of a night long 'La Bamba' holocaust."

Catalog #:	UE 069LP

"Since 69 years I've been begging Daniel De Wereldvermaarde Botanicus, aka Cassis Cornuta, if I could please start a second record label which only releases recordings from his archive. This Botanic's modesty is an absolute exception in times of a overdose of recorded farts, since 1974 CASSIS combines musique concrète, analog synthesizer carpets, weirdo acid, noise, field recordings, tape music, free jazz etc. in a puddle of madness spiced with odd staring, dozens of plants (cacti to be more specific), a encyclopedic knowledge about soundart, and a insane collection of hats! Besides that Daniel does a weekly radioshow on Radio Centraal in Antwerp since 25 years, mainly playing a combination of recycled music, home recordings and a hell lot of noise! This LP is playable on more than 4 different ways, depending on how many extra holes Daniel drilled in each record by hand! Some records contain 3 extra holes, some around 20. None of the LPs have just one hole, that would be selfish. Another beautiful collection of loner synth sound that makes your hangovers or LSD trips worth going for, the strangest beat oriented 303 and 808 acid snoop, and a combination of piss, wind and wood to bring back the good old plunderblur of The New Blockaders. This LP comes in a collaged cover design made with pictures from Daniel's archive, with an insert and an extra photo. Limited to 300 copies!"

"During my last visit to the states, about 2 years ago, one of the highlights was definitely a night long visit to Scott Foust's house! John Shaw took us there and explained from before what it was gonna be like; we would be seated down in a comfortable couch while 'the last great man' would stand up next to a pedestal with some quality whiskey, dope and cigarettes on it, sporting a mono-coloured suit and sunglasses (day and night) while Foust is telling stories about different art records, and mainly his own work, ranging from short films, visual work and audio since 1978! It was exactly how Shaw explained it. I was blown away by the honesty and the effort him and his ladyfriend Karla Borecki put into their work, and how little response they get to it. We shared a common interest in arrogant 'pop' quality, and especially the situationists, to which he relates his work to in only aesthetic way! I think it is a quality in people when you can't divide their work with their persona; Idea Fire Company is a collective of people that definitely swing that robe! Beautiful carpets of radio bleebs and static, piano (Karla Borecki is a trained pianist) and almost kraut-like synth ambience. Comes in a mono coloured sleeve full of dots by Dennis Tyfus, and comes with an insert. Limited to 300 copies."

"Bang on the doors for a few hours, no one will open up at the Banana Fish office! For many people Banana Fish was a bible, and the pre interweb source to find out about manic street searchers such as Prick Decay, Emil Beauliau, Neil Hamburger, etc... There is absolutely no magazine that ever replaced BF and same goes for their equally amazing own vague 'band' Glands Of External Secretion, seems like anything can be thrown in at any given moment, collage music at its very best, heavy tape machines, too heavy to carry to a gig for sure as they refuse playing live, deep carrots stuck in the BUFMS scene, a maze of pseudonyms to cover any road leading to clear water. Let us stay in a pool of mud and try to find out what's up here, it's been a while since Glands did 'something' and this LP is the very hammer to knock yourself out with after a long search for 'better' auditive drugs!

"Although it's better than prison, it still isn't easy to live with two guys wearing an ankle bracelet, in the smallest possible wooden cabin somewhere in between New York and Detroit. There's no food anymore, tap water is not drinkable, and eating each other's intestines seems to be the last enjoyable possibility. The thick dense sound of synth throbbing bubbles up from these hungry bowels. Two synths fighting their ways to better times, though right now everything looks pretty dark, gnarly and industrial, classic heavy synth waves, rhythmic madness and electronic sadness.

"About 15 years too late! Finally out. This is the first 7" in a year long monthly series of limited 7"s that will really be all over the place. Anything goes: from the acid of Pierre Elitair to the Mincecore of Agathocles or a prank by Frieder Butzmann! This first one could actually be an LP! As usual with noisecore, grind or mince, this one has more tracks on it than 5 LPs together! 10 songs by each band, Agathocles drills holes in your skull and pours in a cocktail of assgrinding diarrhea recorded on a rehearsal right before their Mexican tour! This is no fancy pants studio recordings but the raw tapedeck deal, muffled grunts and painful fastness. On the flip side Sissy takes it away with some Gerogerigegege styled noisecore shaving off your nose and eyelashes, feels like the recording is actually sitting in a giant amp!!!!! A brutal slap of preparé right there! Comes in a fold open cover design by Debby Tyfus, with lyrics etc. Limited to 300 copies."

"The first time I've met Jeff Hartford aka Moose Jaw aka Noise Nomads was around 4 years ago in Providence, a tense looking bear putting a mic in front of a amp, leaving the audience alone with a whale of feedback, pretty pretty pretty confused!! He walks out after kranking open the amp, a minute later a giant REAL Christmas tree walks thru the audience trying to find the way back to the amp, kicking people over, I guess this show was right after Christmas time and Jeff fount it somewhere or he stared at a young kid that was about to decorate it.. I was very impressed by his show, both sound and performance wise, there was a seriously intense vibe there, felt like he could snap at any given moment and squeeze you to death with a Christmas tree.. Noise Nomads' live sets are always strange, confusing and amazing, an amp iiiiiiiiiiiiiii-ing while the man goes running around the block, a mountain of amps that start talking after he picked a fight with them, a sludgier drummer does not exist. It was definitely not the last time the man amazed me, his duo set with PAUL FLAHERTY (which is released on American tapes), the loner car rides I shared with him to his area in the valleys of Northampton, his amazing monthly zines and tapes, his drumming with Grey Skull, his drawings etc.. It's a total psycho package; everything is there; visuals, sounds and a great dude! The first side of this record was recorded a bunch of years ago and is just voice and Tascam! A amazing swollen beast of sound poetry, gargling waanzin, and muffled barking! The b side is the same dude a few years later on his knees in my living room screaming thru a bass drum and a contact mic attached to a bunch of pedals, harsher than a prison full of parrots to be released! There should be more paintings like Kim Gordon's Noise Nomads!!! Limited to 300 copies."
