Download IBN017: Digit216 vs. Speak Onion- Battle At Silent Barn
Immigrant Breast Nest brings you an official bootleg from Digit216 and Speak Onion’s epic BATTLE SET from Silent Barn last weekend. Digit216 and I rocked a really nutso set of hyper-destructed breakcore plus full-on chaotic noise. The result came out as a twisted amalgam of both our sounds. A special event, and you can revel in the mayhem. Get it!
Xrin Arms, sadly, won’t be able to make it up to NYC due to some rough times out on tour, so the GBM show is cancelled, and there will be only 4 bands at this show at Port d’Or. Still mad freshness guaranteed, though. Pour one out on the curb for XA, though.

Sorry to flip the script at the last minute, but Sunday’s show has been moved to Silent Barn instead of Party Expo. Speak Onion vs. Digit216 battle set was deemed too dangerous for a “party” space, and we had to move the show for insurace reasons. There will still be plenty of pounding beats, and full on bass bL00r, but just in a different place. Silent Barn is, of course, well suited to handle the mayhem.

YES! I’m playing at a rad place with some of my favorite old friends and some awesome new friends. This will be a bonkers night for sure. From the Free Techno of David B. Applegate to the straight weirdness of Bubblegum Octopus and Mysterious House to the true rocking of Xrin Arms, and of course some shattered rhythms from your #1 boss of drum’n'noise, the party will NOT BE STOPPING FOR ANYTHING. You’ve been warned.
Also, look how many Speak Onion shows are happening in the next few weeks. Pretty rad, huh? Between the I.B.N. Presents show at Party Expo where I’ll be doing the battle set, the ExperiMENTAL Fest Noise BBQ, August 26 at Goodbye Blue Monday, and this one, I’m a busy, man. That’s why I’m the boss, I guess. Anyway, I’ll see you out there!

I’ll be bringing the drum’n'noise furor to Goodbye Blue Monday this coming weekend for the ExperiMENTAL Fest. It’ll be the Sunday afternoon, Noise BBQ portion of the fest, so that rules. I think I’ll even be playing outside. There’s a lot of other cool acts on the bill as well, including long-time home-girl, Joy Through Noise. New beats and bonks, some sunshine and intense volume. Sounds like a plan, right?
Note: Venue has been changed to SILENT BARN instead of Party Expo.
Holy hell am I excited about this show. Realicide and DJ Tacopunch are bringing the crazed electronic hardness from out of town, and of course we’ve got local industrial noise genius, Insect Deli, lighting the place up as well. That would be enough to make this show worth attending, but Digit216 and I are doing a BATTLE SET of breaks, noise, and general clusterfuckery to top it all off.
Digit216 and Speak Onion have shared a lot of bills before, and we’ve always enjoyed and respected each other’s music, so we decided to step it up a notch and play together/against each other. Who will be victorious? Everyone who’s there to see NYC’s 2 most devestating breakcore artists collide, that’s who. Don’t sleep on this.

Tonight at 11PM Pacific time, will be Solipsistic Nation’s interview with me re: making music on iphone. Check it out on 1550 AM or at http://www.kyouradio.com.
Also, to just confirm, the Traverse City show on Tuesday is canceled and I’m not able to make the Lansing show on Wednesday. Sorry. 
I’ll be back to midwest soon!
Tonight, I’m in Chicago!
Hey, last minute announcement! Speak Onion along with David B. Applegate are bringing the ruckus to the basement of The Charleston in Williamsburg on Wednesday! We’re also welcoming NO Shoulders and Coin Star who are on tour from North Carolina to town! It’s going to be a truly hot summer party throwdown, so don’t miss out. Plus, as always at the Charleston, FREE PIZZA with drinks. So come pizza party with us!
Since I’ll be doing my Midwest mini-tour this weekend and next week, this will be a sweet preview show for my hometown people. NYC is my place, so even if I go elsewhere, there’s still love for my home. You know I’ll be filling the room with hometown love on Wednesday. See yous there!
Last night was way beyond awesome. From The Gut are geniuses of space transformation and wild sounds and rad parties. The view from the rooftop party space was amazing as expected!
Cry of the Peacocks was really awesome holding down the squelch for like 90 minutes (made me feel like a bitch for only doing half an hour, ha!), and then I came on to do my thing. I had worked up a new and more abstract and not completely over-the-top set like I usually do for this event, and I think it went well.
And then this little guy showed up to check it out:
Anyway, thanks a million to From The Gut for inviting me to be a part of this transformed space event and thanks to everyone who came to see it!
If you missed it, you can check out the recording: Speak Onion at Eton Trading 6-18-10
Yep. I’ll be playing an extra special and intimate (wink, wink) set on the rooftop of Eton Trading in Greenpoint on Friday, and it’s 100% FREE! It’s part of From The Gut’s Saturation NYC event, a night of transformed space, art, sculpture, and sound. There’s more info at the Saturation facebook event listing, and the details are below.
Friday, June 18, 2010; I’ll play at probaly 10PM or so.

This is going to be an extra awesome show. I’m fixing to play a bit of a different set than I usually do given the more artsy/experimental nature of the event. I’m going to focus on abstract weirdness rather than sheer fucking power. I mean, there will be plenty of bL00r, don’t worry about that, I’ve not gone totally soft, but there will probably be less beats kicking you in the face and more synthesizers melting down. Plus the whole outdoor rooftop thing is way cool. I’ve included a picture of the view from a roof in Greenpoint at night. This is purely a (p)re-enactment, I make no guarantees of scenic-ness.
OK, see you there!
