The Midwest Noise Conference is happening September 11 and here at DIT Kzoo we’re hitting the ground running. We’ve already got four excellent local bands confirmed and more on the way. First up is the always absurd Sid Redlin with his group Boron Nuzzle. Secondly, we have Unitard. Featuring two Kalamazoo originals and fellow WIDR DJs Richard Bowser and Brad Miller. I’ve also talked to Josh Tabbia and he will be doing his best to bring Problems That Fix Themsleves in all it’s glory to the conference. Finally, I’ve confirmed with Jeremy Ruggles that he will be unveiling a new project for this event. Jeremy Ruggles & The Mind Death Quintet. It’s the JR songs you know and love except this time backed by a psychedelic sonic assault specifically designed to destroy your sense of being. Get ready for it.

DIT Kalamazoo has just started working on a noise/avant garde festival for this fall called the Midwest Noise Conference. On September 11, The Strutt will be hosting an all day event featuring some of the finest acts in noise, free jazz, avant garde, noise rock, psych, ambient & drone music. We will be alternating artists on both stages throughout the day to bring you the maximum amount of weird music possible. We’re also planning on having local and regional record stores, record labels & tape labels come and set up vendor booths.

Stay tuned for upcoming details…
