On Saturday I traveled with a friend in our hippie van to a satanic pagan ritual/experimental noise performance somewhere on the outskirts of Dayton, Ohio. There was a surprisingly decent turnout of people at this spot, totally ready to party, despite the show taking place in an abandoned shack out in the boondocks of Ohio.
There were actual goats at this Satan shack, too, though none were sacrificed.
Here is a picture of what was traveling in the back of our hippie van...

...terrifying amirite?
A two person project called Mandible "performed", strapping contact mics (

Not really 'musical' in the least but it was very ritualistic. A very tense/eerie quiet desolate atmosphere. They cut into the pumpkin/gourd and stuck the piezo mics into the goop inside. It was gross and sounded like vomit/turds.
There was also a fantastic five piece freak folk band that we managed to have play, and as a unit they had their shit together. Total legit freak rock n roll, this stuff was flawless. Danced like there was no tomorrow! Danced for the unholy goat lord >:3

My friend from Chicago, the gentleman behind Unitronics, met up with me at this show (I had him booked to play in Cincy yesterday at my venue space). He brought along a badass video rig, which we projected onto the outside wall of the shack/windows.
In the second pic, the projection is displaying 'video feedback'. Totally warped colors!
