Bonnie banks. Bonnie banks. My definition of noise is uncontrolled music. Without format. Pretty simple affair. Pancakes, and youre people get up on sundays around noon, weekends or whatever. Should not be too hard to walk into place. Have your audio alarm clock go off for two hours waking your up while you are eating breakfast with many interesting visuals once in a while. Improvisation. Listening or not to the person youre playing up against or people or machines. Trying to get as many different people in as possible. Different genres experimental noise electronics, dissonance some drums. A tiny bit of ambient the first noise pancake shows, 1999 the first waffle noise, 2001. Godwaffle noise noise pancake came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo where the church opened up his house and saturday morning cartoons. A big space. You can have everybody set up and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. Theres like people in their hardcore gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. People who dont listen to music at all. Guy like larnie bock sounds like set up huge, motor driven harp. I dont know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires. And then played each string individually with the mixer. There is a feeling of euphoria when somebodys really good at what they do. Experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. Different. A lot of noise. You dont play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. You play the warehouse. If you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos doing their own thing. It is like in the bay area its even more absurd. There seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. We did a show in new york, i didnt think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. I wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. I think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. That was incredible. I cant believe its over already, after two hours. If you are reluctant to enjoy Something Like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it. Its fine if you stay away. Most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. You may not be one of them. Which is fine
