Majestic fjords, well-designed minimalist furniture on the cheap, blonde hair and blue-eyed mensch, and... armies of hooded sweaty dudes fist-pumping to C. Spencer Yeh's face-melting violin thrash. That's right, the infamous New York-based No Fun Fest (TMT Review), the nation's largest festival celebrating grating noise, is packing its IKEA bags and taking the freak wagon to Stockholm September...
Psychedelic noise band and some of the most exciting live performers around, Wolf Eyes are preparing their unique sonic environments for the road once again. If you haven't seen them live yet, and you like loud, chaotic guitar/noise shows, then you must try to get to one of these shows!
