Ras Het posted:No Wave isn't really a thing, is it? The original scene was about five bands, who made five decent songs all put together, and I can think of exactly one current band who anyone ever calls "no wavey" (Can Can Heads). It's just this really trivial label that probably came about because some music mags dug Lydia Lunch. Like Britpop or some poo poo. Wrong. No Wave was definitely a thing and it was insanely influential for how many bands (and songs) were involved in it.

Power Ambient posted:I don't care about Toupee/Permanent Records (except Rectal Hygienics), but Machismo and Hate Basement are my dudes/my favs, Shattered Hymen was my roommate, anything Jim Haras/Deterge is involved in is the meanest, Magia Nuda, Jason Soliday who used to run Enemy is like the hermit lord of Chicago noise, James Moy/Anal Hearse, some younger kids like Bringer of Everything are real violent AND RIP Mortville. How come you don't care about Toupee? Their record is so.. beatiful. But maybe that's why. I guess I love "beautiful" noise. I'm not really familiar with those bands. Point me to their music. I no longer live in Chicago, so I'm out of touch.

Power Ambient posted:I don't know, I don't really listen to any of them outside of a live setting really. Some of them are on bandcamp maybe. Also I definitely do not consider toupee noise since it's basically just rock?? Definitely not noise, but their closest genre is no-wave as far as I can tell. And you hit the "problem" with noise on its head: it's just way more interesting live. At least as far as I'm concerned.
