WOAH.  It's been a minute, even for us.  Just so you know, we're planning on being around more in the new year.  Way Out Weirdo Wednesday has been chugging along this whole time, the next one (#35!) is on January 9th, which will be guest curated by our good friend Stephen Houldsworth.  Other than WOWW, we'll be stepping back from the booking angle a bit (although Dingus is looking forward to putti...

We'll keep this one brief, these guys Particle Devotion are friends of friends of ours from New Orleans, and we're pleased as punch to be putting them up at the Way Out Club this Thursday, 10/6.  These guys employ a wide range of instrumentation to sculpt flawless artisanal dreamy indie rock gems.  Seriously, anytime you have somebody in your band credited with both vibraphone and vocoder, you hav...

You know what they say, "the best laid plans of mice and pterodactyls often go awry".  Yeah...  We delinquent.  We know.  New episodes and snacktimes have been slow to materialize, because life is crazy right now.  Playing/booking/working lots of shows, new jobs, school, babies.  We busy.  But it would have been EXTREMELY remiss of us not to drop this today, like we meant to do weeks ago. Neiman M...

Zero Control is drummer Drew Gowran, rapper Sentel Brown, and David Bell on synthesizers and vocal/drum processing.  If you listened to Episode 38, that was them at the very end.  Their most recent set was last month in support of ex-pat pal Night Grinder. Unfortunately, SB couldn't make the show, so they tossed a book at Austin Case (Spagyric, The Icebergs) and said "READ", because he's usually g...

So, if you saw the event/flyer for August's Way Out Weirdo Wednesday, you probably like "who is Jessipher?" Well, that's homey Jesse Edmister, who was to make his solo noise debut.  However, what we really ended up with was a nebumeister set, which is the duo configuration of Jesse and Julio Prato of local psych heroes Kenshiro's, who has been kicking around experimental solo compositions as nebul...

Nathan Cook is one of the heavy thinkers of the STL experimental scene, every performance he gives and every single stellar release on the tape label he curates has a ton of thought and meaning and intent behind it.  When he joined us at the Way Out Club back in May, evidently his intent was to get a synthy minimalist dance party going.  A pleasantly unexpected head-bopper.  Get yourself more at h...

Gonna keep the notes brief today.  Modular maestro Kevin Harris always crushes, but this set he turned in at the Way Out Club on 7/6/2016 was exceptionally fun.  Thanks, homeskillet! The next Way Out Weirdo Wednesday is coming up fast, we've got sets lined up for you by STL experimental/noise legends Regicide Bureau and Larva Lu, the debut noise set by Jessipher, the psychedelic ramblings of Kensh...

Big thanks to everybody who came out to Way Out Weirdo Wednesday this week, it was a hell of a time, with a super quiet introspective set from Matt Muslin's project Zwornikins, the super fresh debut set by Grocer (including stunning performances by two masked interpretive dancers!), and the minimal guitar deconstruction of Berdella.  But the set we want to share with you right now is this superlat...

Grocer specializes in improvised ambient soundscapes of strictly hardware origin.  He was sent our way by fellow ambient pal of the podcast Biggie Stardust, and we are super proud to be able to host Grocer's debut live performance in two days at the next Way Out Weirdo Wednesday!  Somehow the usual mixed-genre format got subverted and we have a full bill of chillout droney minimalist stuff in a ra...

So last summer Dingus had a little mini-fest noise bbq thing at his house, you may remember hearing about it.  Here's the closing set of the evening, a nice long hazy droney smear courtesy STL noise champs Catholic Guilt, joined for this set by special guest Larva Lu.  Been sitting on this one, glad to put it out now.  Dig it. Catholic Guilt is Sean Burk, Joe Stein, and Nick Zengerling.  Get more...

"Xome is a harsh noise music project conceived and operated by Bob Scott. Xome first started experimenting with dissonant forms of music in 1989 but the first organized live performance in Tokyo in 1994 marks the true activation of the project. Now based in Sacramento, CA, Xome has evolved into a highly refined and extremely harsh noise music unit by means of improvised manipulation of sound gener...
