NOXAGT
Hailing from Norway, Noxagt have come to burn your dirty soul. Three piece in the bass, guitar, and drums format. Their records are pummeling masterpieces. Songs that breathe through their mouth very loudly. Noxagt is at the forefront of the Nor-Wave movement that takes cues from the American wrecking units like LIGHTNING BOLT and PINK AND BROWN and adds a distinctly Norwegian heavy slant. NOXAGT's music emphasises a heavy and powerful rhythm section, with a massive downtuned bass guitar and crushing, often shifting drums. The droning viola of Nils Erga has now been substituted for the experimental guitar playing of Anders Hana. Anders is also a member of Jaga Jazzist, Ultralyd and Morthana. His roots are in free improvisation and his resumé includes performances with Trevor Dunn (Fantomas), Paal Nilssen-Love and Mats Gustafsson. NOXAGT is for fans of hard rock and swinging unconventional riffage, dirty crawl such as the MELVINS, and single minded pummel like label-mates/touring partners LIGHTNING BOLT.

KEVIN BLECHDOM (Chicks on Speed)
In a world of electronic music where laptop performers' movements culminate in the occasional squeeze of a mouse button, KEVIN BLECHDOM (aka Kristen Erickson) is a graceless, bouncing monstrosity. Forgoing academic sterility (of which she knows plenty) in favour of bright irreverence, she toys fearlessly with cartoon effects, fingerpicking banjo and power balladery in deliberately accomplished "bad" songs. Crude, theatrical and delusional, she's a psycho-sexual balloon-head with a laptop, a keyboard, a banjo, and songs from the heart. All of which may obscure the fact that US born KEVIN BLECHDOM is one of the most gifted producers in electronic music today. Latest album "Eat My Heart Out" (2005) is an autobiographical musical story about love in which Kevin takes a vulnerable head-first dive into the contradictions and desparation of human emotion. It's a dense musical journey of contrasting styles, surprises, and heartache, tragic ballades, pirate shanties, self-help anthems, and hillbilly torch songs (recorded on laughing gas). Blechdom is a singular musical personality right up there with MIKE PATTON, PEACHES, or DREW DANIEL (MATMOS/SOFT PINK TRUTH), at once miles off the radar and addictively accessible.

PLANNINGTOROCK (Twisted Nerve/Roston)
Berlin based one woman band and video artist Janine Rostron. She performs together with her band of symmetrical make-believe characters, which are projected on and about her as she unleashes wild, Kate Bush influenced vocals. She collaborates regularly with fellow Berliners KEVIN BLECHDOM and MOCKY and also runs her own label Rostron Records.

Is that not enough? Look out for noise, visuals, helium balloons, smoke machines, sand...but no animal guts!

im excited now! ill...but excited!!

prepare to be crushed!!

[Dizzy Storm]

ooh i hope they play Svartevatn

NOXAGT were fucking awsome, honestly one of the most mesmerising bands i've seen in a while.

The support lot, don't quite remember their names were bizzare beyond words, honestly the most bizzare thing i've seen/heard in music.

Noxagt's opening song was so intensely bassy last night that I took a drink of my half full bottle of Budvar and had to wipe some of it off my face as the contents fizzed up instantly!

I also almost shit my pants from the frequency, but after a lengthy fart, seriously enjoyed the gig.

Both acts were fantastic and highly entertaining!

[Paulscoconutass]

First band: One of the strangest acts i've ever seen. A mixture of country, rap, hardcore, x-factor audition, theatre, musical, comedy and pretentious art. Started off badly but ended up being incredibly enjoyable, some ultra-surreal moments but still enjoyable. Will definately be checking their CD's out.

Second band: Assuming this was Noxagt, failed to impress in the slightest. All i could think of was my music teacher telling me 'you don't have to feel the music to enjoy it'. Anyone with a mid-level understanding of musical concepts (even if it's just time signatures) and loud amps could do it. Saying that, i am looking forward to seeing the Freestyle Jazz thing at the Blue Lamp.
