Review of People Who Do Noise (2008) by Thomas B — 24 May 2009
Oscillating Innards, Kitty Midwife, Yellow Swans, Josh Hydeman are the highlights of this disc. Sadly, their performances seemed to also be the shortest by far. Other than that, be prepared to see a very small segment of a niche in Portland.
I am sorry, but when Yellow Swans said "no one has their eye on Portland as a cool place" (paraphrased) I wanted to die. Maybe because I make noise in South Carolina, I am acutely aware of perceptions of Portland, but seriously? I hear people talk about how much they love Portland all the time.
If you want to watch a documentary about noise that actually covers a large range of groups and textures, check out the "Fun From None: Live From The No Fun Fest 2004/2005" DVD on Load Records.
If you want to watch Portlanders talk about how awesome Portland is, watch this.
