Grab your earplugs. Twenty noise bands will descend
upon a North Philadelphia warehouse for a single blistering show, all thanks to
a guy who calls himself Rat Bastard. That’s a stage name, of course. But
it’s how Rat Bastard is known to hundreds of people, from fans of his band
Laundry Room Squelchers to those involved in the annual International Noise
Conference (INC) he’s thrown in Miami since 2004. But Rat Bastard isn’t
resting on his laurels. He’s constantly setting stricter guidelines for the
festival, limiting the length of sets and banning certain kinds of equipment
that prove boring in a live setting. ”That all started with Rat booking the
thing in Miami,” says Jared Burak, who curated Philly’s INC show with Mat
Rademan. ”People started just playing mixer feedback and Rat got bored with
it, so he banned it. Then people started bringing laptops, and he got bored with
that. All the unusual rules and guidelines are from him. I especially like the
15–minute rule, because on a personal level, I don’t want to see you play
with electronic toys for 25 minutes.” Some names on Sunday’s massive bill
are more recognizable than others. The woodsy folk–psych project Serpents of
Wisdom and the bizarre rock band Satanized have put out records on the local
label Badmaster, as have the noisier outfit Drums Like Machine Guns. Other
projects exist purely in bedrooms and on fuzzy CD–Rs and cassettes. There will
be solo acts, full–band collaborations and everything in between.
