Five artists affiliated with the prolific and influential label Deathbomb Arc are coming to Fools Foundation for a gabber vs. noise basement battle. Robert Inhuman, singer/leader of Realicide, has said "Punk's not punk"...so why not noise out for a change? This will surely be one of the best noise events to try if you've not snapped into "noise music" yet. Whereas many noise artists decidedly separate themselves from rock and more pedestrian forms of electronic music (esp. techno) in order to present their noise as "high art," these bands slum through even the basest influences with purely punk ethos to directly engage even the most uninitiated audiences and create a palpable sense of wild fun.
Vankmen are Sacramento's own, veterans of previous NorCal Noisefest and AudioWaffles events. Just as their hyper-driven ludicrous-speed hysterics and timbrally-rich electro-squall approaches the fury and intensity of hardcore punk from its 1980s vintage through the powerviolence of a decade ago, Vankmen actually exceed that threshold of mayhem into previously uncharted territory where the definition of "extreme" is ripped from the clutches of advertising executives and purveyors of corporate-controlled rebellion. Pulse-quickening prog, C64-era VGM tunes, grindcore, and thrash are cyber-soaked and caked in clamor-dust, resulting in this incendiary futurenoise.

Realicide from Cincinnati, Gabbertree from Los Angeles, and Nero's Day at Disneyland from Oakland are pioneering this same field (a)musically, but Realicide center as much or more on the positively filthy vokill squelches and subspecies shrieks of Robert Inhuman, best known to listeners of community Freeform KDVS 90.3 FM from Davis for his collaboration with The New Flesh wherein his caterwaul tore a new one into "Punched in the Head" by Drunks With Guns. Gabbertree and ND@D are still raw, real, and often noise-drenched, but their techno angle is inclined quite a bit closer to gabber's stylistic intersection with "happy hardcore," which is prone to giddiness and lighthearted melodics. But it's still the blackest humor to wreck a woofer since the original glorydays of "Miami bass."

Kevin Shields from Los Angeles--proprietor of the hyper-creative Hate State cassette label and erstwhile member of Gang Wizard--puts the friendliest and most welcoming face on "harsh noise" as she (Kev's actually a lady named Eva Aguilar) playfully jams a tabletop of low-tech electro tools and her own handbuilt contraption that looks like the head of a high-revving Japanese engine complete with hand-cranking camshaft exuding metal-level heaviness under the sheer shrillness and insanity.
