During WWII Brainlove was in charge of a top secret camp in occupied popland. There he conducted foul experiments, rounding up smiley chart kids kidnapped from provincial nightclubs and forcing them to listen to avant garde rock acts until their heads exploded.

he saw a character in a film talking about it and thought it sounded like a good idea. He's really easily lead. |

My dad saw Hendrix somewhere once. What a story it was.

Hendrix played at Wolverhampton Civic, as did the Beatles, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins on the Siamese Dream tour, Public Enemy, and more recently, The White Stripes and Nick Cave - not a bad town for gigs really.

Brainlobe. Do you remember a nightclub in Wolves called Planets or The Planet? A friend of mine says it was the best but I am dubious.

The Planet! I have spent many a drunken night prising myself up from it's sticky floors. We had a Brainlove night there once. The $hit fucking rocked that place, it was great, we had a laser light show and dry ice, but alas nobody was there really. Muscle Bastard has a complete disaster/triumph of a gig - a soundcheck-less wall of white noise for 20 minutes. People clapped though. I was dressed as a terrorist. Steve, the owner, is a really nice fella, he was very supportive through the traumatic band breakup and has left the door open for future Brainlove Inc. nights...
Although I have a kind of pariah status in Wolves at the moment... so maybe not right now. I will breeze into town in future as part of the Brainlove Records tour and pack the place out. YEAH.

I sometimes attend the open mic night down at the Talking Heads in Southampton and there's this one guy who plays who actually does that deliberately - usually three or so of his "pieces" are enough to give me a headache. This is totally not an exaggeration - it's literally just feedback. Sometimes he shouts go with it. We gave him a mock standing ovation once. I felt bad about it afterwards but everyone in there laughed. |

I like people who do this, if it is in fact an anti-music avant-garde noise outburst. It kind of clears your muscial palette. But if it's done without humour or guile it's just an annoying fucking noise. And if people take it to seriously it's bad too. I was doing it partly to get on 'music fan' people's nerves, and partly to say, FUCK ORDER let's have some chaos, and partly because I was frustrated at being a guitarist playing normal music, and partly because I just like making a nuisance of myself.
Sometimes you gotta smash up convention to get back to zero.
Maybe muscle bastard was my own personal music revolution -
or maybe I was just clearing my throat.
