Bio
the conditions of the Reaction's activity explain both its discipline and the forms of hostility it encounters. they are interested not in finding a niche in the present artistic edifice, but in undermining it. the Reaction is in the catacombs of visible culture. our times thus compel us, once again, to write in a new way. some elements will be intentionally omitted; and the plan will have to remain unclear. listeners will encounter certain decoys, like the very hallmark of the era. as long as certain notes are interpolated here and there, the overall meaning may appear: just as secret clauses have very often been added to whatever treaties may openly stipulate;just as some chemical agents only reveal their hidden properties when they are combined with others. however, there will be only too many things which are, alas, easy to understand. the Reaction seeks to convey the tenuous balance between object and action by which they maintain the tentative relations with the forces they organise, and how they are inherently subject to change, capable of resisting closure and objectification by acknowledging and engaging NOISE . .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ......MAXIMUMROCKNROLL December 2009...... ........ .. .. .. ....Listing to our show on Maximum Rocknroll Radio.... ......MRR Radio 1167 • 11/21/09.......... .. .. .. .. ......Click here to read our interview in.... ......SF Chronicle 04.09.09.......... .. .. ...... ...... .. .. ....First show with our new drummer Anthony - Thrillhouse Records Winter Formal 2010 .. ..<.. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. ....The Reaction Freedom Machine 2010.. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. ....Live at SAN FRANCISCO'S DOOMED.. ..<.. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. ....Live from SxSW 2009 Austin Tx.. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ......More videos on .... ......Radek's ..YOUTUBE.......... .. .. .. ......
