>> links ... we're not alone

...as disturbing as it might seem... So here's a list with links to other bands and labels that might be able to help you out of your misery. I've added "a hors category" as well for those things that are both or none of the previous.

>> bands ... noisy friends

Ashtool

Soloproject of Mirco, who also appears on several of Daniele Brusaschatto's releases as guitarplayer. Ambient, atmospheric, not noise. Runs a label called Into My Bed. Agathocles

Well, Agathocles doesn't really fit in the list of experimental bands, but as mincecore-pioneers and friends they can't be ignored - and of course there's Jan AG - the experimental project of Jan Frederickx, their singer. Cock ESP

Loud, harsh, destructive. Known for their short, but explosive, live sets. All the way in the red! Costes

Controversial French artist - junk and kitchen-noise, experimental pop, pornopera, film - ever returning themes are porn, pis, shit, vomit, worms,... Great liveshows. Crank Sturgeon

XV Parowek

Daniele Brusaschetto

Hard to classify Daniele - his music has enough melodic elements to be acceptable for a broader audience, but contains enough sharp edges to keep it interesting for a more demanding ear. It's not retro, not industrial, not noise - it's Daniele Brusaschetto. Has his own ZZZ-label. Evil Moisture

Simply one of the best electronic junkprojects around. That plus Andy's one of the nicest guys to meet on tour. Fckn bstrds

Seen these guys live a few times - gabber, noise, performance, costumes, screams - it's like a circus gone mad, a merry-go-round that has gone awry. Closely linked to the Hondenkoekjesfabriek, Monobrain, Piediepie, Truck Van Rental, Fckn Odal, Stront© etcetera and tralala. Haters, The

Home of The Haters, harsh-noise project of Jupiter X. Larsen. Jack The Rapper

Stupidity has No Nationality. Fuck the System. Café au Chocolat and Plastic Art. Kunt

Girrrls with dicks from Australia (though one of them is living in Berlin and the other in Japan). Sparkling harsh noise. Played in the living where I rolled down the stairs on one of the few times in my life that I was too drunk to stand up. Magik Markers

No-wave from the States/Canada - these girls + guy go linea recta back to Lydia Lunch, before something went wrong with her and her music. Imvated released a limited CDr-edition of two of their shows on 45 copies or so, which shortly after emurged on eBay. I always dreamt of being on eBay too. Massaccessi

Another website not suited for the colorblind. Junknoise and performance artist. Told us he also made a soundtrack for a gay porn movie, one of the few occasions he actually earned something with his music. Milkmuts

They toured with Massaccessi. Same as see above: junknoise, performance etc. I think they weren't feeling too well when I saw them live. Or maybe it was me. Monopolka

live in de living

Crank Sturgeon

Mourmansk 150

Novaya Zemlya Productions

Möse

If you like it slow and if this looks like something you've seen before, but not quite: 7))). MSBR

From the land of the rising sun. Harsh noise, but also did some more soundscape-oriented involving 303 (released on Cling Film). His website is there since 1996. (I've recently rediscovered some prints that I made from his website in 1997 and am willing to send you a copy against harsh cash). Update august 2005: Sad to inform you Koji Tano died late july 2005. Visit his site while it is still there. Respect! Napalmed

Band, label and distro can all be found on this "Napalweb"-site(v4). Known as a band through a vast amount of releases, ranging from harsh noise to experimental - known as a label mostly through the excellent ANOMALOUS SILENCER-compilation series... Update august 2005: site is now version 7 and band is now named NPLMD - mmmh, come to think of it: MNGNRTD sounds pretty mean too. Eat that BRTN SPRS! Nautical Almanac

"Nautical Almanac has records on Heresee and is an integral part of much of the MidWest noise scene. Wanna understand the throb of shirtless noise boys and girls in Michigan, Kentucky, and Ohio and elsewhere? Climb onto this Crisco-coated locomotive and get the real deal of steel. Answers not included and sound not found." I didn't invent the latter, just stole it from another website, but kinda is what they do. Permanent Death

RRs.R

Ripit

Ripping electronoise from Paris. Mixing noise and beats in cut-up-style into a mayhem of electronic distortion that never gets broing - they have a patent on this formula over there in France. Definetely worth checking out. See also Mourmansk 150. Scorpio Scorpio

Stadium Rock from Australia - One man, and he's mean, he's angry and he wants to give it to you real hard. Smell and Quim

Saw them for the first time live somewhere in 1998 or earlier - best act of the entire festival, which was dominated by industrial and soundscape-acts. Smell and Quim came on stage and 5 minutes later their equipment was reduced to debris - they however managed to go on with their set, while the organisers of the festival were looking for the main switch to cut down the power. Stefan Quix

Has his extreme loud clicks'n stops-project Ping/Pong, but is also involved in a Joy Division cover project, alongside some other projects (including more repetitive drony stuff), which I haven't seen or heard yet, but definetely worth to check out. From Brussels, if that means anything... Truck Van Rental

Fckn Bstrds

labels ... noisy friends pretending to be organised

Anti Everything

From their site: "Anti-Everything is a D.I.Y."Noise" label,mostly concerned with home-recording artists and improvised performance." They're open to all forms of "experimental", "under-ground", "difficult"(to describe) and "spontaneous" self-expressions. And of course there's the [aen]-mailinglist.

Veglia (or Vegalia)

Check out his Metalux/Evil Moisture LP while he still has copies left. Lots of handmade stuff too. Laurent who runs it is also involved in the defunct Toss, R.O.T, Moysk, Berghaus and many a lot more. Mmmh.

Zan is a man with a 27 year mission to chart new audio realms including collaborations with fellow explorers worldwide. He already achieved some 800 collabs and releases. Not to be missed! hors category... everything and nothing of the above

Dennis Tyfus

An ugly guy making ugly drawings. On top of that he's from Antwerp, has a radioshow on Radio Centraal, makes noise, is involved with Audiobot releasing "boekskes" with his and other peoples filthy drawings and pictures. He also drinks. He's a good Jan AG imitator though. Which is about the only talent he has. Jelle Crama

Same as the above, but better looking (cleaner) and without the radioshow. His work is extremely colorblind-unfriendly. JMH Berckmans

Belgian Bukovski (Bokowski?) kuvia piirustuskerhon näyttelystä

I don't understand this kind of art, but people that use sentences like "No kun muutama tyyppi ääntelee yhdessä niin siitä tulee yhteinen ääni, joka on niiden kaikkien ja ei kuitenkaan kenenkään." can't be wrong and are undoubtingly much smarter and openminder than me.

found stuff

Tape Findings

Here're some people that find tapes. And put them online. So don't loose your tapes. And don't loose your parents super 8-movies either cause I eat them (but first I show them).

Cinema Nova

Nice little cinema in Brussels of which I keep forgetting the url so I've added it to this list. Royal Belgium Filmarchives

Reffered to as "the filmmuseum" - last film that I saw there was one on pigs being slaughtered. In b/w. Very interesting. Official website Lasse Braun

"I believe pornography is at the center of the biggest cultural revolution of our century." Main reason why this link is here is because I once bought some reels with original super 8-movies by Lasse Braun (from the so-called loops-series). And because his name ressembles that of Lasse Marhaug.

As from 18.12.2006 onwards: I've disabled the links on this page. Sites die frequently, so after a while a linkpage like this ends up loaded with dead links. But no despair, there're plenty of leads to other sites like the one you're reading right now listed in my blog (mostly links to other labels) and in my myspace (mostly noise-artists). If you think your link ought to be listed in one of those two locations, feel free to get in touch (and see what happens).
