I once read a review of "Wolf Eyes":http://www.wolfeyes.net/ album "Human Animal":http://www.subpop.com/releases/wolf_eyes/full_lengths/human_animal that described one of their tracks as _the sound of tortured, searing flesh at the brink of insanity after a nuclear holocaust._That's a pretty accurate description of the show I attended at "les Instants Chavirés":http://www.instantschavires.com/ ..

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...
Side A - The DrillerSide B - PsychogeistAlright, I finally got my record player up here (and got a rca->minijack cable so I can rip vinyl :D). So, as promised, I will give my two cents on the Wolf Eyes - The Driller 12". First off, I had already heard 'The Driller' (since it's included on Human Animal), but it still sounds pretty badass on vinyl. It's one of my favorite tracks off the new album...

It seems like only yesterday when Aaron Dilloway and Nate Young were scumming up your neighborhood basement with their junky electronics and broken guitar squall as part of Wolf Eyes. But now it's 2009, and things have changed: Aaron Dilloway left the band four years ago and was replaced by Mike Connelly of Hair Police; they're signed to Sub Pop; and they've become one of the biggest "noise" ba...
Well, THAT was a couple of weeks I just had.Opened up by playing with one of my bands (Grand Banks, brown-note sultans of C-ville) at our space with the fantastic-o Yellow Swans and Mouthus. Nice folks, plus the show was great. Would have been better if I had been feeling better. Our opening set was pretty good, then Yellow Swans played, tweaking, EQing, skronking. Wall of sound, but a wall mad...
