ROCK VINYL, GIANT METAL COILS, MEN IN THEIR UNDERWEAR = BOYZONE AT WXYC



























In preparation for their set at Chapel Hill's beloved noize extravaganza, "No Future Fest" at Nightlight, local weirdos Boyzone took over our studio and delivered a full-on performance on the floor of our rock vinyl room on 4/20. It was a sight to behold, and a sonic assault of electronics, clattering cymbals, looped flutes and writhing bodies. How can you say no?

And since you, the radio listener, didn't get to see what went down in the station, there are pics posted on flickr here.

NO FUTURE for you.

Presenting LAMINAE

LAVABUSTER -- LAMINAE

A glistening, gland-stimulating excursion into electronically tinged rock and roll, hittin' doze green discs in May 2007. All your favorite primitive waveforms are here: square, sine, saw. Noise, in small doses. They here. Also: bit reduction.

No Escape from Noise


The Feedback Farmers triumphantly rebounded from the season's nadir (never to be posted on the blog) by tackling a subject they know a lot about: Noise. It was, of course, the second time this semester they talked about noise, so it shouldn't come as any surprise that they managed to put on a decent show. Plus they only had to be on the air for 50 minutes because the WXYC transmitter was down for the first 10 minutes of their allotted time.

In any case, this week's show was a review of sorts of the 3rd annual No Future Fest held last weekend at Chapel Hill's own Nightlight. Hear all about what you missed by downloading the show here (23MB MP3).

Also be sure to check out the videos posted on YouTube by the wonderful and talented Tom Grimley. Incidentally, Tom Grimley was PJ's favorite part of No Future Fest III.
