Posted on by NOISEXTRA

Steve Meketa (Lockweld, Apt 213, Meketa Power Electronics) joins us today for a raucous discussion on his noise and PE path. Meketa’s current project — Meketa Power Electronics — is a personal take on the style, as its theme is his Christian faith. He tell us of his health and mental struggles that lead him to becoming a Christian and how he incorporates this into not only his work. We also get into his original noise project Lockweld and much more. You are not alone!

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we talk all things Apt 213, Meketa’s infamous powerviolence band from the 90s. This 15 minute segment immediately follows the regular episode on the patreon feed.

In Conversation with Ross Snyder of Saturn’s Core

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

Today we take another look at the “extra” of Noisextra with Ross Snyder of the Saturn’s Core movie label. The movies that Saturn’s Core release run parallel to the DIY noise underground of yore… in this case its the DIY shot-on-video homemade movie underground of the 90s. Home dubbed tapes, zines, mail order, and regional scenes all come into play with Ross’s story. It’s a great discussion on a world that may not be familiar to some listeners, but well worth visiting.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we have Ross grab a handful of VHS from his collection and give his thoughts on each.

We got together with Jesse Sanes (Cleanse, Liebestod) to watch the classic “Oh! Moro volume 5” VHS. It was cool to see footage of Osaka after having been there, let alone revisiting some classic noise sets from Merzbow, Monde Bruits, Masonna and more!

For the ExtraNoisextra on the patreon, we talk about the new Cleanse tape and how Greh and Jesse work together. This 20 minute segment immediately follows the episode on the patreon feed.

Shane English returns to give us some 90s industrial obscurity with Notstandkomitee “Maschinenberichte.” A very rare tape from 1992 on the project’s own Block 4 label, we all come out with different favorites and get sent to different planes. As usual, Shane has some great background info and insights to fill in the blanks. Hear the sounds of the parasite today!

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we basically have an entire other episode as Shane talks about related tapes, other listening and much more. This 40 minute segment follows immediately after the regular episode on the patreon feed.

In Conversation with Iggor Cavalera (Sepultura)

Iggor Cavalera (Sepultura, Cavalera Conspiracy) joins us for an incredible discussion. Iggor provided the perfect DJ set throughout Day 1 of the NWN/Hospital Fest, capturing the spirit of what the festival was all about. We go into his history from starting Sepultura as a 13 year old in Brazil, to playing with Boredoms in Japan, to collaborating with Prurient and Power Trip, to his current noise explorations and tons more. Iggor has carried the torch of the underground since the early 80s and the flame still burns!

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, Iggor talks about his gear, field recording in the Amazon, record shopping with Merzbow in Japan and more. This 20 minute segment is in the middle of the episode on the patreon feed.

Audio Drudge #7

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

It’s another magazine episode as we take a look at “Audio Drudge” #7. This issue was picked partly for its accessibility, but also because of the Caul tapes that Greh scored in Japan. In addition to Caul, this issue has interviews with Allegory Chapel Ltd, Contrastate, a section on VHS, and plenty of reviews. It’s always a pleasure looking to the past via printed matter.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, Greh tells us about setting up his new studio. He goes over his plans, purchases and much more.

Various Artists – Bring on the Shits

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

The Connellys scored a copy of “Bring on the Shits” on Bandaged Hand Produce while in Japan thanks to Greh and we wanted to go over this classic 1995 cassette comp for today’’’s episode. An absolute stand out 90s compilation, this one brings together artists from disparate corners of the noise world and places them within the Bandage Hand universe. The results are stunning. Mlehst himself supplied us with thoughts and info and we relay them throughout our talk.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon we are putting up the entire first episode of Live Crashing Headfolds. Two hours of a brand new stellar noise radio show!

In Conversation with The Hearing Trumpet

Posted on by NOISEXTRA

The Hearing Trumpet was one of the most important noise bands for Greh’s entry into the underground and we got a chance to talk with Dave and Greg, the duo that is the Hearing Trumpet. They provide a fascinating history of 80s and 90s noise in Michigan with a ton of great stories. One can tell immediately the connection these two have and the conversion is infectious. Book a show, set up, and leave.
