Mail Art from the Naworals!

2/23/2019

A few months ago (I'm guessing December? My brain is still frazzled from this year's run of recent International Noise Conference shows), I received a lovely card in the mailbox courtesy of EC's own Aimee and Adam Naworal!

I love the different styles between the two drawings.

At one point on Fakebook, after not having looked at it for a while, I mentioned Aimee's drawing being "an owl" even though it is clearly a cat.

As an added bonus, I've also added a picture of a recent performance that their project Tomokie's Cup had played at the St. Pete Pre-INC show at the Paper Crane on February 3rd, 2019. I sat in on electric bagpipes. Photo courtesy of Emmy Lou.

Aimee, those are really nice drawing that go especially well with the vintage postcard. Looks like you all had a great time at the St. Pete pre- INC show. What kind of mask is Adam rocking there? Very interesting! Dylan, thanks for posting and thanks to Emmy Lou for the cool photo.

I started recording "noise music" in early 2004, completely unaware of any "scenes" or other individuals doing this sort of thing. A lot of lo-fi recordings on a portable tape player, oftentimes guitar or bass feedback drone and delay.

In 2008, I started putting out my own releases. I had by then given up on being in any rock bands with other people and stuck to improvised solo recordings on portastudios. Between then and 2011, I think only dozen people had heard any of my releases. And then I started Hell Garbage, where I started connecting with people a lot more.

At the end of 2012, I played my first Noise show, at St. Pete Noise Fest 5. I originally only did it on a whim and had no intention of playing live much after that. Lo and behold, the set had a good enough reception to enable me to seek out and play even more.

Fast-forward to June 2014, where I had booked my own gig for the first time. Uncle Lou's in Orlando had dates available, and again on a whim, I took a shot at booking. It went well enough, surprisingly good turnout for a Wednesday night.

2 years later, I moved into a house in Lakeland. Initially because it was within walking distance of my workplace...but a recent show fell through and I thought "why don't we just move the show here? As long as it's over by a certain time...I mean there's plenty of parking space..." The show was a success and nobody complained!

AND THEN MY MIND SPLOT OPENNNN
