V/A - "Behind The Toiler Door: Part I" C-90

V/A -

£4.00

Behind The Toilet Door was a one day "festival" (for want of a better word) held in Blyth, Northumberland on the 2nd November 2008 featuring a slew of the more bizaree names in Northern Noise underbelly. Each project, band or artist was made to perform, as the name would suggest, within the small, claustrophobic confines of the wood workshop toilet. This document features the first half of the proceedings with sets from Brian Mueter And The Grandfather Clock, One Wobbly Egg, Waz Hoola, Dirty Den and "Wild" Joe Parsons, MC Blazin', Chris "Pause" Richardson, Ron The Birdcage and Scottish free jazz favourites Tighten Me Jewels. Hear them from behind the toilet door, watch them through the keyhole; hear them as they should be heard. Part II is available on Matching Head.

Milton Grove Skum Band/Mike Smith's Lobster Beast - Split CD-r

Milton Grove Skum Band/Mike Smith's Lobster Beast - Split CD-r


Price: £4.00

Quantity:

Interesting tale behind this one: Milton Grove Skum Band was recorded in Manchester in the basement of Gaz, Daz and Linds amongst others. The line up was a free for all and the instruments were everything from a destructed piano to a rain shaker to a rusty nail. A very claustrophic half hour... The second band of the disc is even more obscure. Lobster Preist were for some reason scheduled to play a Star Wars themed rave on the quayside in the centre of Newcastle. When the band were imformed they were meant to play it transpired that only the least likely member of the band to be available; was available. So Mike Smith had to gather the troops and build a band quickly, a band suitable for a Star Wars themed rave. He only managed to pull together the cream of the crop from the North East noise underground and had drugged up idiots dressed as yoda bopping all o'er't place in no time. A bizarre and pleasant evening only made more so by the bouncer kicking the door in when I was trying to have a shite... Old style CD-r fold over cover.
