September 25, 2007

The CD that was recorded last February in NYC's Tonic is titled Nothing Makes Any Sense and includes ink drawings artwork by Lee. More info coming soon.

Thats a killer line-up. I wonder if there will be vinyl.

Anything with Lee on is bound to be great, but the addition of those other three just makes this sound stellar.

I heard that show and it is stellar indeed. One of the coolest members on this board might be involved in that recording but that still needs conformation.

No, I wasn't involved ;)

I said one of the coolest not one of the oldest. :)

no fun prods has put out some awesome releases this year.

Next on NO FUN are demons and Incapacitants/Pain Jerk coming October 1st. The religious Knives and Burning Star Core releases they put out this year are really good.

stuff that's kicked ass on no fun: pita, consumer electronics, jazkamer/smegma.

of course, the crown jewel is the c.c.c.c. box set.

i haven't heard those religious knives and bsc albums, i do love operator dead...post abandoned, though.

no fun was to release a new mouths album too, last i checked.

That Religious Knives Lp is impossible to find.

great news

Pain jerk /Incapacitants live at no fun fest 2007 cd is now availible,
as well as Demons debut cd 'Evocation' !

go to www.nofunproductions.com and click on the store to purchase them.

here is the info on each:

Pain Jerk / Incapacitants 'Live at No Fun Fest 2007' CD
Like no other music in this planet, these two Japanese noise masters
deliver obsessive, precise and unforgettable live sets of intense
electronic harsh beauty. Legendary Japanese noise masters
Incapacitants and Pain Jerk performed for the first time ever in the
US at No Fun Fest 2007, this CD include crystal clear board recordings
of their sets, mastered for full audio brutality. If you haven't had
the pleasure of experiencing either of this acts live this is your
chance, if you have then this is also your chance to re-experience two
of the most amazing live performers of our time. Liner notes by Carlos
Giffoni and Chris Goudreau (Sickness).

Demons 'Evocation' CD
Consisting of Nate Young (of Wolf Eyes) and Steve Kenney, Demons
explore near-epileptic and droning analog synth textures that elicit
comfortable remembrances of electronic forefathers like Stockhausen
and Cluster whilst simultaneously bludgeoning forward with the grating
and scraping atonal complexities of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle.
Having already rallied a fervorous flux of supporters with
discomforting psychedelic multi-media performances and a slew of
cryptic releases, Evocation is an appropriately elaborate and
accomplished approximation of their shrewd identity and is their first
full length CD release, with artwork by visual collaborator Alivia Zivich.

Next in mid/late november (keep an eye on the site for specific date)
will be Merzbow 'Live Destruction at No Fun 2007'(title says it all)
and Nels Cline/Carlos Giffoni/Alan Licht/Lee Ranaldo 'Nothing Makes
Any Sense' CD a live collaboration of 3 guitars and synth recorded in
February of this year.

We are also hoping to have the Mouthus 2x12" and the Hivemind LP back
from pressing plant before October ends, there were some troubles
with the initial cut of these record, and we had to get them process
again, and they should be back here in a few weeks. will keep you
updated.

28 Nels Cline/Carlos Giffoni/Alan Licht/Lee Ranaldo
'Nothing Makes Any Sense' CD
A constantly shifting and engaging long-form piece of developed drone,
foreboding melody, and harsh grit, Nothing Makes Any Sense finds Lee
Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Nels Cline (Nels Cline Singers, Wilco), and
Alan Licht pushing their guitars into a cacophonous state that bears
much influence from the post-jazz fields they've all cut their teeth
in, but also bearing down a forceful brutality that has sometimes
eluded their past material. While Carlos Giffoni uses his analog Synth
mastery to adequately contend and mesh seamlessly with the trio of
strings, letting his analog noise pulsate and pierce with its own
sense of contained stampede.

24 Merzbow 'Live Destruction at No Fun 2007' CD
At this year's No Fun Fest, the legendary Japanese noise king Merzbow
(Masami Akita) gave a blistering performance that stunningly brought
together both his classic analog and recently-explored digital
concerns. Keeping pace between two laptops and an amplified
sheet-metal instrument, the walls of computerized droning distortion
and psyched-out metallic scarping easily reminded those attending to
the world of noise that even icons with twenty-plus year careers under
their belts can still vivaciously channel the advancements they helped
build as well as compose stunning untried sounds.Merzbow's set no
doubt left longtime followers thoroughly fulfilled while those who've
only heard the name thrown around in mythical regard were bound to
have been left with a hearty appreciation of his genius.
