Hello all!  On June 6th, we will be having a NoiseHouse in conjunction with 434NOISE down in Charlotte Court House, VA.  Why am I posting this instead of making a flyer?  Because I wanted to share some background as to how this came about.

I came up with the idea for NoiseHouse on my own in July 2008.  I threw the first NoiseHouse jam party in November 2008 and started recording NoiseHouses in January 2009.  When I was at NoiseHouse U.K in early May, someone mentioned that they had seen clips of past NoiseHouses on Youtube.  As I have not taken video at my DC NoiseHouses, I became curious.  Who had taken and put up video of our NoiseHouses?

I searched for NoiseHouse on Youtube and discovered 434NOISE, a noise collective in southern Virginia that puts on shows at a neighborhood venue known as the Noisehouse!  Jeff Hill, who runs 434NOISE, has been booking shows since 2004.  I contacted Jeff and, seeing as how we already share the name and the spirit, we decided to organize NoiseHouse@Noisehouse – a meeting of the NoiseHouses!

The jam starts at 5:30PM on Saturday, June 6.  Please RSVP to me before Friday, June 5 if you would like to accompany the DC contingent to Charlotte Court House, VA.  More information may also be found on the 434NOISE website under Shows.  This promises to be a most entertaining and epic evening!!

I’d like to thank everyone who came out to the first NoiseHouse@Soundry last night, especially the folks who came out from Madison High School! I unfortunately lost some of this NoiseHouse’s audio due to a recording mishap, but we’ve still got over 2 hours of sound which I will be podcasting late tonight or early tomorrow. Check back here for information about upcoming NoiseHouses. Hope to see you at the next one!

SATURDAY, JULY 4
10PM – 1AM
55 M ST SE
CABARET STAGE

Come on out to Artomatic this Independence Day and make some noise!! We also hope to see you next Sunday, April 19th, at Bossa!

I believe I’ve fixed the podcast issue, so you should be able to play the audio now, if not on the actual page then at least in a new window. Should you continue to have issues with the podcast PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me!

Not sure what’s up with the podcast, but it looks like the Wordpress plugin I’m using is wonking out on me – I’ll try to figure out how to get audio back, but in the meantime I’ll be posting excerpts on our Myspace page. Hopefully I can have this issue resolved ASAP!

We’re experiencing some delays in processing the audio due to the sheer quantity of audio remaining to be mastered. My DC Chemical bandmate has been kind enough to volunteer his time and efforts towards the podcast, but it’s slow going. We’ll have it up as soon as possible!

EDIT: Unfortunately, my bandmate’s computer has crashed. We are hoping to recover the rest of the audio but can make no guarantees given the state of his computer. However, I intend to record NoiseHouse@Bossa on my laptop, which shouldn’t present us with any problems. See you this Sunday, March 22nd!
