Smegma: Minus Mike (who was ill). Plus the new/old member dude playing bari horn and weird little objects. It was Smegma. They make me happy, what can I say. Not the best I've seen them do, yet like all good bands they always get better.

Me(soup purse): I got off. Things could have gone better, but they definately could have gone worse. Pulled out some new tricks. Wish I could hear what you guys heard.

Dude War: Love these dudes. Have to say I liked their solo sets better, but this one rocked in terms of inventiveness and intercommunication, with Jason throwing down those wicked handspun feedback spike delay loops and Mike tossing obliterating crumblings over the whole thing in very deliberate counter moves. That is what I'm fucking talking about right there.

Disjunct: Loud, brash, brackish. Moments of bass bliss and thunder pierced by high end lightning. This duo has come a long way. I listened to this mostly from the back and sounded like a distant storm.

Argumentix: I miss James's songs, but this was one of his better noise sets I'd say. It sounded a lot like the tape Dan put out on Together Tapes actually, which I listened to a few days ago and enjoyed.

Redglaer: Bob rips it up. A totally diferent set than fridays (which was more my style I suppose), this one began with some filthy bass tones slowly modulating and growing to encompass the room. Saw the last 2/3rds in the back due to the volume. Reminiscent of his earlier "stupid tone" experiment directions but without so much of the stupid. It did strike me as pretty long, but that was the nature of it I suppose.

Jay Blohm: I was doing something else during this set so I can't comment. What I heard sounded interesting. Someone tell me what I missed.

Shitty Vibe Smasher: Sorry dudes, I wasn't too into it. Got there too late to get in the balcony and felt like things were too loud to distinguish what from what. I couldn't hear any of the intricate communication like at that Rotture show. If you play that loud again you should play in a bigger space to spread the sound out more, otherwise gets too dense and muddy.

A Minority of One: I really wanted to like this. And did, in the beginning. Kind of death-ambient era Current 93. Dig. Then it just kept going on and on. I appreciate the presence of this kind of ritualistic post-world serpent scene in the city, but yeah.. they did not engage me past the seven minute mark.

Better to See You With: Fuck yes. Love this band now. Fae is crazy. Arrangements are SO messed up: tight, yet shambling. Holding tension and then releasing. Only giving us little doses of the rock out at the beginning so as to magnify the impact at the end. That's the good stuff. Bad shit with footnotes: There was some shitfaced mask-wearing tool during the btsyw set freaking out on the floor and generally being sketch. I think it affected Fae because I could tell she didn't want to engage him or whatever. Earlier (when more sober) he came to me and made some crude joke about my shirt, to which I of course responded with a far cruder one both reveling in the revelation of my own homosexuality and, I imagine, including subconscious tone triggers that effectively communicated my distaste for someone who would come up to a stranger and say that kind of thing in mixed company. I think this put him off because at the beginning of the set he started yelling at me in german. Then I guess he got kicked out?? WTF??

Redbird: Intense. What can you say? Freaky. She afterwords told me that her actual self consciousness resides about two feet above her head and is going "ha! they're all falling for it...". True butoh.

Behalf: It was a minute long. I was smoking a bowl. He's supposedly "quitting noise" and making Behalf a "one man Black Metal project". You rule Lenny. Live long and prosper, you Sisters of Mercy t-shirt wearing bitch.

Scard: I said to Hydemen: "like chopped and screwed power electronics". Slow huge bass throbs. Slow death vocals delayed to oblivion. I was too tired to get to into it, but it was good. A good night all in all.
