Phone (01224) 627094Doors 8pmEntry 6Come earlyNOXAGTHailing 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 resum 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.www.noxagt.comKEVIN 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.www.kevyb.comwww.chicksonspeed-records.comPLANNINGTOROCK (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.

Guest Page 99 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 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.

Guest ()Papaspyrou() Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 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 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ears have been worse after a dance around in O'Neills. I enjoyed all the acts on Saturday - Noxagt are a great live band. Acid Mothers Temple meets MBV Loveless via The Melvins...The thow away 80s pop pastiche of Planning to Rock and Kevin split the audience but certainly put on a show. A strange aroma of Frank Zappa and Jason Forrest.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of artists such as Merzbow, Converter, Einsturzende Neubauten and lately I've been looking into different types of experimental music so I'll be sure to look out for future events.

Dizzy Storm Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 cool well as Graeme said, MORTHANA at the Blue Lamp on the 15th nov!! (Anders the guitarist from Noxagt's other band) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Storm Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 just a note to say that NOXAGT stated that aberdeen was the "highlight of the tour by a long long way" and that they are looking forward to returning in april time with a new recordthey wanted to thank everyone for making them feel so welcome and for showing them a great night on saturday.the glasgow show last night was also superb with many well known faces from the scottish scene in attendance.as previously stated Anders (Jaga Jazzist, NOXAGT, ultralyd) will be returning in November with the superb MORTHANA.now, some sleep please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 There wouldn't be any boundaries getting 'shoved slightly' if there wasn't a little amount of miffedness from some sources now would there...? I think I wrote something to that effect in the Arkade 'Manifesto'... Earplugs should be, and are legally meant to be (not absolute fact) supplied to all members of staff in any live music venue! What with the growing litigious society we live in... Christ! All the staff from Drakes would be partially deaf if I hadn't bought earplugs... The Tunnels is a loud room and all the better for it!
