Bum Kon Drunken Sex Sucks “Nancy Regan Fashion Show” MAXIMUMROCKNROLL Records

With several tired rock strategies vying to bore the fuck out of the mid 90s, the American independent music scene started looking beyond guitar driven punk for new avenues into the musical beyond. The complexities of experimental jazz and progressive rock offered new and fertile ground, as artists began combining these forms with a revived interest in electronics, to put a final nail in the coffin for verse chorus verse, three cord punk.CONTINUE READING

Through the late eighties and early nineties the Japanese noise band Boredoms built a legendary reputation among alternative music fans for audacious recordings like, Anal by Anal and Pop Tatari. Having garnered the attention of “underground” musical luminaries such as John Zorn and Thurston Moore, the band went on to tour with Nirvana, signing major label deals in Japan and the States, while still maintaining a fiercely independent and confronting musical style. The band was led by Yamantaka Eye, and by 1996 it had undergone several line-up changes, most notably adding the female percussionist Yoshimi P-We; and while the bands chaotic but humorous approach to song construction reflected a certain “punk” rock approach popular at the time in bands like Nirvana or the Butthole Surfers, cracks were starting to appear in this abrasive veneer!

It’s hard to believe that it has been over ten years since the communal art mischief of the Providence RI scene found it’s shambled digs in an old pre-Civil War textile mill, and calling this outpost Fort Thunder, built a dreamland venue for a living life of noise and art. Fort Thunder began as a live work space created by Lightning Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale and his freshman roommate at the Rhode Island School of Design, Matt Brinkman. Located in an industrial “backwoods” on the edge of Providence, RI, the giant space quickly doubled as a secret venue for music and art performance shows. It’s cheap rent allowed a group of friends a place to work and live, and in so doing they blurred the division between the two creating a condition of ceaseless artistic play. Fort Thunder became a maze of spaces as it’s residents poured hours of attention into their particular “rooms” and the communal hang out places. Quickly the group harnessed the warehouses abundance of room, and it’s remoteness from the “powers that be” to host experimental music shows, using their graphic skills to publicize the shows on hand screened posters. With this Fort Thunder coalesced a group of artists, friends, and fans around a ragged aesthetic,“…that you can do it yourself or for each other, without worrying about the “them” or asking their permission”…CONTINUE READING, LINK BELOW
