NorCal Noise Festival 2009

It was the thirteenth installation of the Northern California Noise Festival. The whole event spanned three days with tons (literally) of people performing. While Xome was rocking extra hard inside, outside there was a local crazy man weilding a samurai sword. Cops arrived just in time to throw up devil horns and pump their fists to noise!

Xome performed outside in the heat to the dumbfoundment of the passers-by. Also we saw Smite!, Hypnotic Injection and Chopstick. A bunch of really nice battery powered sets... plus the train was right there.

The Desert Experimental and Music Festival

The Desert Experimental and Music Festival, The Palms Restaurant and Bar, 29 Palms, CA, USA -- Xome at The Desert Experimental and Music Festival - August 22, 2009 This show was far away from civilization of any kind. It was really neat to see Xdugef, Actuary, Liver Cancer, Waning, Audioemetic, Chopstick, Dog, Kill Kill Kill, Phog Masheen and more. After a while, the local desert drunks started filing in and kicked our noisy asses outside. Little did they know that we were still partying extra hard outdoors.

Gawdwowfull Noise Pancakes, Trapper Keeper Lodge, San Francisco, CA, USA -- Xome at Gawdwowfull Noise Pancakes - August 1, 2009 About 4,500 people decided not to stay at home and crammed into a long, skinny SF style house to watch Xome, Neckhold, Instagon Trio, Mr. Mercury and Grr on Grr. Xome even played as a part of the Instagon Noise Trio. Good thing the back door was open.

Last Day Saloon, Santa Rosa

On a night normally reserved for hard rockers, we heard beautiful grinding cacophony from Stimbox, Pin Needle Digits, U.F.O. as Bacteria and, hey, Xome too! Some people complained because they were supposed to bang their head really hard at the hard rock show that night but as it turned out they got to bang their head afterall.. the next morning, anyway.

Noise in Montana

Spider Monkey (not Spire Monkey) from Billings started off this monumental event with his noise-DJ act. Next up were Empty also from Billings. A solid computer based sequence which ran amuk. After that was DCLXVI from Whitehall, MT. The harshest laptop based noise I've ever heard! Then came Pop Culture Rape Victim, again from Billings. Excellent noise.. excellent action. Eight enthusiastic thumbs up! Then Stimbox played a mean set of really psycadellic noizu. Xome played last and furious. Squeezed 3 hours of crunchy harshness into 13 minutes. This was supposedly the first ever noise show in Billings. I'm sure nobody who came to the show will ever forget...!

The Loft, Sacramento

Xome played first, fast and loud. There were a few people there who wished they had some earplugs but they didn't and now they still cannot hear all that well. Stimbox joined forces with Shitty Things and whipped up a broken rock noise frappachino deluxe. There was also a jazzy jazz outfit that played as well as a rawk band. I don't think it was an Ozzy cover band.
