Was talking about this with a friend a few days ago. Well, not especially about fun in noise but rather that the genre of noise must seem pretty dark or negative too outsiders, and while some projects that are posted here like S&Q, Fecalove and maybe even Whitehouse have their way of humorous intent, the humor is often pitch black or hypersexual and will fly over the heads of those not known to the intricacies of noise or dark humor. On the other side of there are these projects that take humor to ridiculous levels being either being over the top, dumb or being lost in the absurdity of dada - Cock ESP, BRR, Gero, FCKING'BSTRDS etc. - but there doesn't seems to be a lot in between? Something that is funny or at least makes you smile, without the need for it to be ridiculous or heavy.
Our conclusion was that only really those in Asia are making this kind of noise, looking at MSBR, Incaps and CCCC, or take the Bising noise documentary. While their noise may not have fun as (main) intent, there is something of joy that is pouring out their music that rarely seem to be apparent with EU or USA noise. Only project I can really think now not from Asia that also has this vibe is Sissy Spacek, but what else is there?
