The fourth installment of weird town fest! Weird Town Noise fest specializes in bringing experimental music of all kinds to the Quad Cities area.
F R I D A Y
Bob Bucko Jr. (Dubuque, IA)
Bob Bucko Jr. covers a wide range of sounds and textures in his work and has been operating in the noise scene for quite a long time. His sets are always very compelling and the work he curates on Personal Archives is nothing short of excellent.
https://personalarchives.bandcamp.com/album/2017-spring-tour
Chill Smith (QC)
Old blood and new blood unite for this project. Drums from JT (EYES, Jerk) and harsh pedal mashing, sonic sculpturing and harrowing vocals from Alex Mahaffey (ex-Sept Of Memnon, frequent collaborator with Upon The Death Horse).
Alexander Adams (Chicago, IL)
A percussionist and noise artist who uses many different colors from a sonic palette. Alexander is nothing short of a craftsman when it comes to working with anything from ambient to free jazz.
https://lurkerbias.bandcamp.com/album/two-extended-pieces-for-meditation
I Like You, Go Home (Aurora, IL)
Absolutely a pillar of midwest noise. I Like You, Go Home brings some of the heaviest most visceral live performances to ever be seen.
https://breachingstatic.bandcamp.com/album/feathered-in-a-nest
True Commando (Iowa City, IA)
Combining noise and often dub samples in his work True Commando is one of the more creative projects active right now.
https://soundcloud.com/true-kommando
We Also Let Blood (IL)
This project has always been an umbrella of different sounds and iterations from drone/ambient to cathartic harsh noise.
https://personalarchives.bandcamp.com/album/eclecticism
Crimson Rex (IL)
First performance in the QC! Crimson is a wanderer of many places and an artist of the highest caliber. Her performance should not be missed by anyone in attendance.
National Hero (QC)
Two-piece powerviolence. National Hero is one of the best heavy bands from the QC, nothing short of punishing.
https://nationalhero.bandcamp.com/album/national-hero-a-light-among-split
Blue Movies (QC)
This project has been active in the QC for a very long time and constantly evolves into a more challenging and enjoyable entity to behold. Every set brings forth new and interesting improvisations not to be forgotten easily.
https://bigpharmarecords.bandcamp.com/album/fuckjazz
S A T U R D A Y
FIRE-TOOLZ (Chicago, IL)
One of the most well-executed and imaginative experimental projects. FIRE-TOOLZ uses everything from manipulated samples to electronic percussion and synthesizers along with chilling vocals in order to create a unique experience for the listener.
https://hausumountain.bandcamp.com/album/drip-mental
Contraktor (Leavenworth, KS)
Leftist themed harsh noise/power electronics, easily one of the most important in the game. This project is one of truly debilitating proportions.
https://contraktor.bandcamp.com/album/a-sum-of-conscious-feelings-and-judgments
Mkot Pt. (Chicago, IL)
Electro-acoustic and often ambient project which evokes vast and colorful mental pictures with their work. A fairly new project deserving every bit of your attention.
https://mkotpt.bandcamp.com/album/t-e-r-r-a-r-i-u-m
Culled (Crystal Lake, IL)
Harsh noise duo often using cassette tape manipulation in their work along with sometimes junk metal and other harsh electronics. A project experimenting with textural synthesis to the highest degree.
https://culledhn.bandcamp.com/
JERX (QC)
A Light Among Many (CO)
Local drone favorite. ALAM has made me weep during many of his performances. A master craftman constantly creating vast sonic soundscapes.
https://aloopamongmany.bandcamp.com/album/waking-from-a-silent-dream
Voiddweller (Ottumwa, IA)
One of the only artists merging rap with power electronics sensibilities. One of the most inventive producers and devastating performers.
https://voiddweller000.bandcamp.com/album/null-void
Dead Hawk (Grand Rapids, MI)
A drone/ambient soundscape sculptor evoking new worlds for the listener. Always leading his audience along paths undiscovered.
https://deadhawk.bandcamp.com/album/cannibal
Palm Hands (Grand Rapids, MI)
Sometimes noisy other times this project plays with an acoustic guitar and sings. Adept at crafting noise and crafting songs alike, two talents presented together in a way which is rarely seen.
https://palmhands.bandcamp.com/
Croatians (Muscatine, IA)
One of the most dynamic artists specializing in guitar performance. This project always brings one of the best live experiences regardless of whether he performs as a one piece or with a larger group.
A.R.U. (Dubuque, IA)
Experimental hip-hop artist assembling some of the most original and innovative beatmaking.
https://arumusic.bandcamp.com/album/more-songs-about-dubbing
daggers//cloaks (QC)
A project of harsh static veneration, a recent and memorable artist creating new ideas in harsh noise and harsh noise wall. No face//only voice.
https://friendlyotter.bandcamp.com/track/daggers-cloaks-cavernous
doors 6p | show at 7p (both days)
