Noisecamp hadn't been a thing since 2014, so most of the people at Interfuse 2024 had no idea what we were about- and if they had bothered to guess, were mostly drastically wrong.  We got some fresh blood because the people that it is going to click with, it clicks instantly.  Everyone else... well, some people you never get the opportunity to win over if they don't hate you a little first.  Ask around, and there will be a lot of "...

Yo.  Dave again.  If you are aware of our particular cycles of idiosyncracies, you were probably already assuming I was the one gumming up the works around here lately.  It's true, I have teased temporally relevant snacks that went cold on the counter, promised vintage selections from the vaults and never went down to the cellar to fetch them, and generally sat around with assthumbs instead of laboring episodically.  It's been a lo...

Hey gang.  Dave checking in.  During the five years that I worked at the Way Out Club, I am absolutely certain no single person played there more than Bryan Wilson, AKA Roger Dodger.  So many nights I walked in to that place not really sure what I was opening up for, and if the first person strolling through the door carrying gear was Roger, I knew I could relax; it was going to be a good time.  He was a cheerful guy that loved to ...

Destination Machine is a joint venture between Jeremy von Nida of The Insidious Device and Chad Pterodactyl of mad at dad.  We think this was probably recorded sometime between 1998 and 2000.  It's a classic!  Never before released on this planet.  Please enjoy thoroughly!

A tribute to an era long past... ballroom dancing, night clubs, and the great musicians who kept the people coming night after night.  Recorded live at the Pardella Club, Lemay, MO, in 1952, on a home reel-to-reel recorder... the music and the memories still live.

 

SPECIAL THANKS TO: Grandma Jones for saving everything.  Aunt Dot ...
