NFXX recap, Western Theme and unreleased Video...

Phog masheeen debuted a western theme at Norcal Noisefest this year and we produced a video to go with the track, "My Horse Kalenchoe." Originally this video was only available on the pirate box private server at the festival. But now you can see it here! More western theme to come...

Norcal Noisefest is always an amazing event and a wonderful fall destination and meeting of the tribes. It is a great way to see what new things people are up to. One stand out set for me was Medicine Cabinet. The way the real instrument sounds were used to make the harsh noise harsher. It was an excellent set!

The sets will be on Bandcamp eventually and you will see a link to it here when it does.

See phog masheeen at Hyperion Tavern next Wednesday 8-24-16

Phog masheeen is coming to Hyperion Tavern Wednesday 8-24-16 for Don Bolles Hushe Club. We will be rolling out a new approach for this show. Come down and check it out!  Also on the bill, Justice Yeldham.

Next up is the San Francisco pre-show for the NorCal Noisefest at the Luggage Store in San Francisco!  This is Thursday Sept. 29th at 8:00 pm. The Luggage Store Gallery

1007 Market Street, San Francisco, California 94103. We don't come to San Francisco often, come on down and check out the new setup!

How to rehearse, or if to rehearse for improvised music....

Rehearsal, is it over rated?

 

 Tomorrow is our day at the OC Fair. To that end we got together and breezed through our set. Which begs the question, "Can you rehearse improvisation?" You can certainly rehearse setting up and getting the gear to work. Which is no small part of this endeavor. Relative levels are helpful as well. Our one rehearsal went swimmingly, We are ready for the Fair! See you there! 

PS Dr. K scored some soda caps from  our favorite mexican restaurant "Super Pollo." The caps will turbo-charge the sound of the Bundt pans!

New Video now on YouTube!

Now the epic hyperbole lives on YouTube! Share it with your friends. We need to get the word out!

The Great Work Begins on booking the Wonder Valley Experimental Festival...

In the dark days of winter, spring in the desert seems impossibly distant. However that is when we begin to assemble the line up for the WVE8 (Wonder Valley Experimental 8). It also seems amazing that this is the eighth iteration of this event.

Pulsating Cyst will be headlining this year. I am very excited about this his performances are ambitious and amazing.

The rest of the lineup will be released closer to the event date.

We are hosting performers from near and far.
