Sabbatical Presents: The International Noise Conference

Sabbatical is proud to present the Melbourne leg of the International Noise Conference on its first appearance on Australian shores.

Since 2004 Rat Bastard's INC festival in Miami has become an institution for the USA noise underground. It's no laptop / no droning / no money / no bullshit / 15 minute sets approach and levels of inclusion has set it apart from any normal noise festival to become the most invigorating 3 days on the USA festival calendar. In recent times Rat has been taking the concept on the road and this year Australia gets its first taste in Sydney on the 20th of May and Melbourne on the 21st.

UPDATE

The full list of artists performing at the Melbourne INC are: Aktion Unit / Sean Baxter / Bleach Boys / Chaos Warrior / Rod Cooper / Cult of the Placenta Head / Dead Boomers / Dotåbåtå / Ebola Disco / FTRG / Furchick / Marco Fusinato / Gauntlet / Heil Spirits / Incompetent Cervix / Juarez / Leslie Keffer (USA) / Laundry Room Squelchers (USA) / Military Position / Graham Moore (USA) / Nomex (NZ) / Occult Blood / Oranj Punjabi / Poison Sockets / Psychward / Radical Creation / Reunion Sacred Ibis / Social Climber / Susie's Lite / Undecisive God / Wife.

Dick Threats 'Meat Cash' available now



SBBCS007
Dick Threats
Meat Cash
Edition of 100

Meat Cash is built from a series of quick cut movements, each hinged on overdriven and abused rhythms. Pounding industrial noise filth and simple analogue electronics colour movement throughout, though often these gestures are pushed into a sweaty alliance with an ecstatic pulse seeking physical interpretation. The Dick Threats modus operandi: low fidelity dance noise - another beer bong for Daphne Oram please.


Dick Threats 'Meat Cash' cassette $8




Domestic postage - $2
















International postage - $5

Sabbatical Presents: Dick Threats MEAT CASH cassette launch

Dick Threats are STOKED! MATE! to launch their first cassette 'Meat Cash' through Sabbatical. Come down and congratulate us for taking about 3 months longer than we planned. Dick Threats are Mark and Sharryn Groves: Overdriven sampled rhythms, oscillations, cassette tape, voice, trumpet and analogue electronics.

WORNG makes hypnotic spatial noise. You might find it hard to concentrate, just go with it: http://soundcloud.com/worng

Fulton Bequest - Matt and Scott from Sunglass dust off the pedals, synths and amps to make their semi-annual appearance in the Fulton Bequest guise and soothe the audience to sleep with their distorted/phased/delayed space lullabies.

Mondo Loco's vinyl sets stretch from Turkish Psychedelic Rock to Middle Eastern Jazz. Expect a journey of heavy Anatolian psych funk, jazz and the rare sounds of Turkish garage, protest folk and fuzzy disco!
