I had such a good time at No Fun.I missed out on Thursday.Was bummed cuz I really wanted to see what the Hair Police was all about. Friday I got there right in time.I walked in just to catch the first act Charlie Draheim. Holy Shit.It was some of the loudest painful music I have ever heard! It was good though.Different then I thought it was going to be.I had heard he was a guitar improv guy, but it looked like he was playing some electronic gizmos and maybe some tape decks. I liked it.
Next was Princess Dragon-Mom. I was interested in seeing that, because one of the members is in my all time favorite band His Name Is Alive.It was pretty weird.Lots of zapping sounds and a cardbord robot.It was fun though, and after the extreme sound that Draheim did, it was a welcome break.
Grunt was ok. I am not a big fan of the whole "Power Electronics" thing, but it seemed like he does it right.
Next was Mouthus who I had seen once before.I thought it was pretty good, but it seemed to go on for a long time. I really liked what the drummer was doing.
Anti-Freedom was totally crazy.I did not know that it was going to be a punk band thing.I got bruised all up and down my legs, and a cup of beer dumped on me, but it was well worth it. I watched Raionbashi from the back of the room.It was maybe the most interesting thing i had heard all night.I could not see what was going down on stage, but i guess a guy was doing push-ups? I really liked the yodeling.I need to check out more of their stuff.
I was outside for Carlos Giffonis set, but I caught the tail end of it.Sounded pretty heavy. I missed Sissy Spacek, but my friend told me they only played for 10 minutes.
Incapacitants blew me away! I honestly had never heard them before, and now I wish I had!!
It was super exposive noise that had everybody going crazy. maybe some of the best noise I have ever heard!
I left that night with ringing ears, but it was well worth it. Hopefully next year I can make it to every night!
