DEATH BY CONES @ MIUC - 26/06/2012

Next up at MIUC we focus on sonic abstraction utilising density-variation from analogue sources. The 13th annual Liquid Architecture festival of sound arts is upon us again, and thanks to LA, we have one of their featured artists, visionary Berlin-based improviser and sound sculptor Werner Dafeldecker, performing in collaboration with Melbourne’s Sean Baxter. Death By Cones, a monstrous quartet exploring the physical limits of the speaker cone, featuring four experts in the field of brutal noise. And, a duo of sublime, psychoacoustic energy featuring Rodney J Cooper and Leith Thomas, employing 2 of Cooper’s hand-made creations.

• Werner Dafeldecker (Berlin) (live samper and tape delay) and Sean Baxter (percussive junk)
• Death By Cones, featuring: Mark Groves (brutal junk metal and electronic noise/Hartke amp), Nik Kennedy (brutal oral noise/Warwick amp), Tom Miller (brutal motor noise/Toilet amp) and Mark Skelton (brutal slut noise/Peavey amp)
• Rod Cooper (the lowrider and motorised strings) and Leith Thomas (leverage)

DISCOBEANS MONDAY - 02/07/2012

+ DEER HEAD APPARITION
"No core members" improvisation collective, featuring: anyone.
http://wagonbroadcastservice.org/deerhead/


+ STEVE LAW
A highlight performer at Discobeans last year. Avant-garde analogue electronics from one of Australia's most meticulous sound crafters, via a modular synth about the size of a bar fridge... and other mysterious devices...
http://www.solitary-sound.com/


+ DARK PASSENGER
Active since 2009, with appearances on releases for local labels Vacant Valley and Iceage Productions. His sound is in a constant flux, yet a sole aim is in creating a stream of sound with a degraded metallic tinge. Sometimes cacophonous, often desolate though always foreboding; inspired by the many lost souls walking the forgotten back roads of the world.


+ HEILSGESCHICHTE
The duo of Kevin CK Lo and Trent Brown, mashing together and mashing out all manner of fucked sounds using instruments you thought you once knew.


238 High St. Northcote

Blastasfuk's Soundcloud page has some new SFHS and The Kill tunes from some of our upcoming releases. Which are...

Super Fun Happy Slide - Drop Ya Pants & Grind!! CD - long overdue 2nd album, currently being mixed & mastered by our drummer/turd-polishing wizard Brad Smith.

The Kill/Mortalized (Jap) split 7" EP on Haunted Hotel Records

The Kill/Lycanthrophy (Czech) split 7" EP not sure what label

The Kill/Captain Cleanoff (Aus) split 7" EP not sure what label

The Kill will also be recording again very soon for a 3-way split with Noisear (USA) and Antigama (Poland) ! Brand new tracks containing some of Roby's most insanely over-the-top riffs ever, and meaningful lyrical topics such as hiding dissected corpses in your house, and murdering the bloke in the Santa suit at a shopping centre.
And! We're also doing a 5" split with White Eyes (USA)!

SFHS will do something new as soon as someone gives us money to bring Den up from Tassie!

And, Rory Brown’s return performance, this time leading a quartet of some of the fiercest and fieriest purveyors of the classic, post-Coltrane free jazz tradition.
