broken glass

it's that type of year again when our half of this world is in a "destructive cycle" (yeah it's fall again)...things begin to fall apart...shit gets smashed...lets call it universal BAD FENG SHUI! it affects us on every level of our being...starting with our surroundings and even infiltrating our personal lives (and minds!)...anyway...i have noticed an unnatural occurence of BROKEN GLASS, i'm probally just nuts (well yeah thats true) but check this out (perhaps you've had simular experiences/perceptions) it started last week, i woke up to the sound of a car wreck on the corner outside of my apartment...SMASH!...broken glass everywhere...the next day a shelf fell off my wall and broke a large glass table top, the day after that a piece of painted glass payne (a beatutiful work of art no less) fell over in the bathroom and shattered all across the floor...the day after that some crazy women was throwing 40's bottles in our alleyway and eventually smashed out our neighbor's windows (our wonderful neighbor Leon)...that was way fucked...the next day...nothing happened...but then the next evening someone smashed out our bathroom window! (we still dont know who done it but we know whoever did either lives in or is friends with someone who lives in this building) but yeah i know glass is something commonly known for breaking...but i have never in my life witnessed so many instances of broken glass in such a short time...im starting to feel like i live in a glass house.
weirdness.

inactivity update

UNupdate-

Hello All,

Sorry for being out of touch for so long…now that we are
back online I am afraid I only have bad news to report….

You may have noticed that we (rat-ward) have not hosted any
live music lately. W.T.F ?

Well, O.K...in short....NO MORE SHOWS!!! Sorry…it’s out of my control! Trying to run a D.I.Y. venue
out of our homes means we also have to deal with everyone here and our/thier problems…
hopefully in time they (problems) will pass...we (us) will remain...the rat-ward will continue (it’s happened before).

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us over the years...we
will never give up! Love you all,

Grrry

- Q: what kind of music is it? - A: Outsider music means too intense/edgy/weird/experimental/artsy for mass consumption. stuff like noise music, avant-garde rock, new (now) wave, acid punk, lo-fi, electro acoustic, synth pop, sound collage, deconstructed dance music, plunderphonics, noise core, power electronics and any music that is difficult to describe...sounds that blur the lines between popular culture, art movements and D.I.Y. (do it yourself) ethics. See below for a full list of the performers and more about what they do...check out their websites/mp3s for more details. (just because you've never heard of it dont mean that it's no good, check them out and see for yourself...dare to be suprised!) - Q: What is the Rat-Ward? - A: a.k.a. 757Noise house. It's not a night club/sports bar...It is a non-profit, grassroots, D.I.Y. venue and our home...an alliance between the tenants of our apartment building to have shows and make music...the usual spot for so called experimental music and noise in our area....simply because no other local venues will host such events! All shows are FREE...we collect donations for the out of town bands...suggested donation is $3. No one is ever turned away for lack of funds...ever! bring your $3 just in case we ask (we will!) Located in Hampton VA...15 minutes from Norfolk/Newport News, 30 minutes from VA Beach/Williamsburg, an hour away from Richmond, a few hours from D.C./Baltimore/Rocky Mount...not as far away as you may think (address above). * NOISE? yes..."noise"...in a broad sense, but that's not all we are into...the Rat-Ward is an open forum for indie artists of any genre and we host a wide variety of music here. ***Disclaimer: Not originally intended be an actual fest, but why not? so many great bands wanna play this weekend it just kinda became a festival on its own!

Diane - bs/vx Noa - gtr/vx, Neko - dms/vx. Social Junk isn’t like any other band you’ve heard before. Listening to Social Junk is always exciting, thanks to Social Junk’s amazing electronic brain! Watch tension mount as Social Junk ticks down the seconds with their flashing lights and push-button action! Social Junk is so advanced that observing a Social Junk entertainment extravaganza requires lightning fast reflexes and quick thinking! Social Junk is so irresistible and fascinating that soon you’ll be going to all the shows, so you can witness the six-armed addictive action apparatus!

(Mattress/Oedipus) mixes elements of noise with electro, IDM, synthpop and dance music deconstruction with vocals. Using crashing synthesizers, drum machines in a state of disarray, blasts of white noise, and morose lyrics, the one man project of This Song Is A Mess But So Am I paints a vulgar picture of life. Twenty year old Freddy Ruppert has been playing out as This Song Is A Mess But So Am I since May of 2003, and this January saw the release of a split 7" with Xiu Xiu. Mixing the electronic music styles of noise, electro, and IDM with the urgency of punk, he creates a very bizarre brand of anxiety filled synthpop. His songs are very personal, honest and bring a heavy emotional weight to electronic music. His live shows are known for being filled with the bursting energy of a nervous breakdown. http://www.thissongisamess.com GIRL TALK – Cleveland OH Pittsburg PA (Illegal Art) glitched out top 40 muzak, whack rhymes, dancing and fun!... “gratuitous sampling and pinched beats from Cleveland/Pittsburgh top 40 glitch artist Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis). imagine The Jackson 5 riding pink unicorns on digital heroin through a rainbow of pure emotion. it's hotter than your kid sister's truth vs. dare antics. the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Jay-Z, Destiny's Child and C&C Music Factory all crammed into intricate mixes of musical magic. this is the slumber party that will make kid606 look like an amateur pillow tosser. already a hit in japan!” http://girl-talk.net HEARTS OF DARKNESSES- Cleveland OH (Schematic) off-kilter beats jabbing you in the sides and awkward shrieks coming from every direction.

Andrew Strazzer aka Powerbane (aka Andriu, LA Nights, Nacht Tresor, Wet Virginia, Busch, Noel) has been an integral part of Cleveland Connect (Girl Talk, Hearts of Darknesses, Drop the Lime, So Red) since its inception 4 years ago....he has been responsible for some of the most fucked up performances that are often one time only, and definately one of a kind. He just recently returned from a 6 month photo project in Germany , where he also assisted with a documentary on castle ruins and bonfire parties and did marketing for a sculptor called "q tub dream cruiser". Many of his visual art projects have been turned down for being weird, such as with surface magazine, who rejected his photographs of dudes in jnco jeans smoking weed. Along with having toured with Cleveland Connect, Powerbane has shared stages with Black Dice, Add n to x, Nautical Almanac, the SSION, and Aelters, to name a few.

BB's have won an international reputation for annoying & entertaining many dozens of people, sometimes all at once. In fact, Adam Yauch of the the Beastie Boys was recently quoted in a trade advertisement as saying that the Bunny Brains were one of his earliest influences. The Bunny Brains are perhaps best known for their stint last autumn blowing Sebadoh off the stage night after night. They weren't opening for Sebadoh, they were just blowing them off the stage... http://bunnybrains.com ZOM ZOMS – Austin TX (Instincto) freaky rockin new wave synth punk!

"They must be seen to be believed" is the sort of caveat that's typically applied to shitty music, but Yip-Yip makes a great racket that stands up well on it's own.

PRURIENT - Providence, RI (Hospital Productions/Groundfault/Load...)
spastic harsh noise filth...violent audio!
"It's an acknowledgement of the complexity of the world, a rejection
of the simple-minded, anger-fueled world of shit...Within Prurient's
noise, there is no easy answer, no one emotion that can be held to and
ridden through the waves of destruction; rage, fear, and sadness
abound here, but they are certainly not the only emotions to be found
in this music. This is an utter and complete cleansing, noise with a
human soul squarely at its center". -stylus magazine

"Rhode Island teeth pulverizer PLEASUREHORSE (members of SIX FINGER
SATELLITE). An all-out assault of ultra-panic sound destruction
created with a gameboy controller, eight track tape machines,
samplers, stompboxes, used Tic Tac containers and sweat socks, all
exploded through an eight-foot-high bass stack. An ear-wrecking
crucifixion played with DJ Scud's velocity, Timbaland's bling, and
Slayer's volume. Previous split releases with Dropdead and Mystery
Brinkman (Forcefield)." -Midheaven

NO Rat Ward?!

RE: ratward shut down.

You may have heard that the ratward crew were recently evicted from our building...
of course it has to do with money (and other stuff like property damages)...
BUT after meeting with our lawyer (who offered his help for free!) and negotiating with our landlord it has been decided that we may remain in the building only if we can pay $2000 by early April. Collectively we can cover most of the amount...working overtime, borrowing money, selling off belongings....but we still need help! we want to try whatever we can do to help raise the money to save our home!

rat-ward reminder:

THIS MONDAY!!!

Feb 16th  7PM

SWORD HEAVEN -Columbus, OH.Gameboy records kids...sound like this: crash!
crash! thud! in other words...noise influenced rock band with industrial
tendencies (think early swans). lots of damaged sound!!! someone once
said... was "like being hypnotized at a punk show!"...drums, guitars,
keyboards, samples, effects, tubes, floating symbols, throat and screams
to convey...sonic mayhem.

PALM TREES-HVA total noise and screaming.

KELLY G and TOMORROW NOW -Newport News ritual rhythmatists take
performance cues from "changes in barometric pressure" and "that sinking
feeling" to create an interactive experience some have described as
"sinkingly barometric." with special appearances by people and objects.

Another Rat-Ward Show....

THIS FRIDAY!!!

Feb 20th 7PM

HULK SMASH Hulk Smash is a two piece DIY band from Philadelphia that
plays it slow and low ...consist of 8 string bass (run through a few amp
setups), drums with triggers (playing samples of detuned drums and
explosions), ...both sing (through a processor that adds a chord to our
voices) and try to play keyboard pedalboards with (their) feet. This is
not all hulk smash is, but for now it is the easiest way to describe
(them).

ABIKU -Baltimore,MD femme vocaled electro-punk-core-noise!

KID CAMARO -VA Beach. freaked out IDM-core.

SOCIAL JUNK Social Junk is a six-armed electronic, buzzing, flashing,
geewhizbang of a band from Cross Lanes, WV... Social Junk isnt like any
other band youve heard before. Listening to Social Junk is always
exciting, thanks to Social Junks amazing electronic brain! Watch tension
mount as Social Junk ticks down the seconds with their flashing lights
and push-button action! Social Junk is so advanced that observing a
Social Junk entertainment extravaganza requires lightning fast reflexes
and quick thinking! Social Junk is so irresistible and fascinating...
witness the six-armed addictive action apparatus! Social Junk is

SHOW REPORT 01-17-04

BULLET TO CHILD started off the evening with their own brand of far flung electro free form jazz. i swear for a moment they got really poppy,like 80's nite on LSD.

MIX TAPE FOR ADRIAN came correct with some fcked up dance music that ended in a real life battle rap! Polar Bear wins!

SLIDE OF HAND was a hella funny one man performance parody rock schlock poo poo pee pee sing-a-long. long duck dong plays guitar?

NO-FI no comment! ughhh

KID CAMARO glitched it up real fine,even more abstract that last time. dance or go into a seizure,either way youre gonna move that body!

ABIKU finished off the nite with a really bombastic set. intense,dark synth-core anger.electronic hardcore punk is the new radness.

SHOW REPORT 01-10-04

MAD THANKS to eveyone who came out to the
Rat-Ward last SAT to support "non-conformist
music and outsider art"

KID CAMARO played a set of glitchy electro
dance-core of the highest calliber.

FERALCATSCAN summoned forth beautiful
ambient drones that built up into a frenzy of
avant-groove.

KHATE played her wonderful collection of
modified toy instruments,melding the sounds
into an intense mental scape.

36 noise-rocked the kitchen in a major
way,while in the back room HAPPY SCRAPPY:
HERO PUP blipped and bleeped thier way
through a set of synth mastery. The Mr. T
motivational video was a nice touch!

Then DJ PANIC played a record with a
hack-saw! 20 years from now all DJ's will play
records with hack-saws!

After that was HAZARDOUSLY GUADALUPE.
They win the most points for audience
participation! By the end of their set all their
instruments were taken over by
show-goers,so they just began to bang on
anything they could find in the kitchen!

IAN NAGOSKI was passed out drunk on my
couch,so BULLET TO CHILD took the floor
with their own eclectic brand of free-jazz
creamo.

What else? We just about broke even on the
keg (Thanks Grayson and Kelly!),sold some
hand-made t-shirts,scored a free Electro
Harmonix bass micro synth and a DD-5 digital
delay! (Thanks Sam!) I even sold a painting
and used the money to buy the bands
breakfast! so rad! Thanks to all the bands for
your great performances! Thanks to everyone
else who helped out! Happy Birth Day LUX!
