The Brutal Sound Effects Festival, now in it’s 18th year, has made theme-oriented bizarre sound shows with the innovative acts of mostly San Francisco Clit Stop, Klub Komode, and Clud Teuffel origin. If you are of an open mind, and are willing to tie pillow sized earplugs to your head (optional) then this continuing oddball renegade sound brigade lobe massage is the festival for you. Fantastical and always spiritually stuporous, Brutal Sound Effects Festival goers walk away with a ringing glory in the skull that can only be parodied with a trip to heaven on an audio rollercoaster ride hanging by one leg at the butt end of an Apollo rocket….indeed! This very special presentation at The Lab will feature a conglomeration of nutjobs and thoughtful earfuzz from years past as well as newer acts you HAVE TO HEAR.
Tickets
$7.00 to $40.00
Featuring
- Blue Sabbath Black Cheer (BSBC) formed in winter 2005, by wm.Rage and Stan Reed, rehearsing after-hours in the Electric Heavyland (R.I.P.) record store in Seattle, Washington, before moving into an all concrete garage in the alley behind the record store, where they rehearsed incessantly for the next 2 years, much to the dismay of the nearby neighbors. In 2007, leaving “The Bog”, rehearsals and recordings then took place for a short time in an old garage next to a lake until a 4′ rising of the lake destroyed the garage, equipment barely removed in time.
- Magnetic Stripper is a Musician from Tennessee (now deep within the Oort Cloud) whose music ranges from Power Electronics and Breakcore. He creates music with both computer generated sounds, hand made lucite boxed electronic & copiously wired instruments.
- Dental Work is an avant-garde sound & performance art manipulation project by Jay Watson, based out of Traverse City, MI with roots in Detroit, Chicago, Denver, and Oakland, CA. The music is a rare blend of musique concrete, extreme psychedelia, anxiety, experimental, harsh noise, tape manipulations, glitch, grindcore, turntable-ism, sound collage, found sounds, avant-garde, and outsider trash art. The instruments used in making these digital anxiety outlets over the years have consisted of knives, hatchets, bones, AM radios, fruit (Buddha’s Paw), hacksaws, fans, chop sticks, webbed cardboard, a box of cereal, a Ouija board, a pair of little girls shoes, contact mics, laptops, delay pedals, turntables, music editing programs, Super Nintendo, bass guitars, LSD, broken VHS tapes, and even members of the audience. Dental Work has 3 U.S. tours under his belt, and has performed with over 200 of today’s cutting edge musicians, and continues to perform regularly. Dental Work currently has over 100 albums released worldwide, on a variety of labels from multiple obscure countries, including his own label Placenta Recordings, which he started in 2005.
- Mchtnchts (Kyle Bruckmann and Lance Grabmiller – analog electronics) | Kyle and Lance have been partners in shudder (with Phillip Greenlief) since 2004, on double reeds and digital electronics respectively. In 2012, they began exploring a duo configuration employing exclusively modular analog electronics. Their debut album is a free digital download from Onyudo; their second will exist shortly as a cassette on Already Dead.
- Coagulator is Nathan Bowers: co-founder of Punk Rock/Musique Concrete band Tusco Terror, co-founder of underground cassette and record label Tusco/Embassy and co-founder of the annual music festival Voice of the Valley.
- DunkelpeK is Nava Dunkelman – percussion and Jakob Pek – guitar, miscellany, piano. Together, they create a truly unique, powerful, bizarre, and beautiful improvisational duo. Inspired and informed by many musics of the world, from Javanese Gamelan, to Bee Bop, form Japanese folk to rock ‘n roll, from the contemporary to the primordial, DunkelpeK interweaves many worlds of sound and silence into a musical universe unlike any other.
- Beauty School (formerly Palookastan) – a blossoming electroacoustic trio. Extreme extended technique on electric bass, trumpet, and drums combines with nasty homemade electronics and circuit-bent keyboards to create an orgy of skronk and ugliness. Get up with it … Matt Chandler – bass guitar; Tom Djll – electronics+trumpet; Jacob Felix Heule – percussion + electronics.
- Sheila Bosco will bring her arsenal of sounds, songs, percussion, and video projection. When not busy working on her Opus Maximus, Part 12, you can find her playing drums and keyboards with Mountain vs Building and z_bug/zBug.
- Medved | A project begun by Ceci Moss and Paul Haney in 2012, Medved is inspired by the early days of industrial music. The duo produces heavy, damaged beat-driven noise.
