Best noise gigs, without remembering the sound?

Peenemünde also played in Turku with MK9, Vanhala and others, late 2012.

There was also one more gig in Turku, in some kind of "pop-up" art gallery event with more or less experimental bands and performance artists. I think it was earlier in the same year.

I am thinking of these two live shows right now:
-The set by Kapotte Muziek at the 25 Years of Dead Mind Records Festival this year is perhaps a good example.
You could hear every sound from the various objects they used..the volume was beautiful, etc., mixed together with care. The visual aspect was not like, for example, a harsh / PE set, but both formed a captivating whole.
-The New Boyfriends in Oulu 2022, I think, their first performance at the two-day festival... I've forgotten the name... The stage had been transformed into a construction site with a concrete mixer, boxes of glass, half a kitchen, etc. The sounds matched the visual aspect perfectly, but I remember most that the sound/noise sounded right in every microphone set up there, down to the last detail.

Pissoir Rouge only live show, at the first Harsh Frequencies over Limburg, in 2023, Landgraaf, Netherlands. Mesmerizing experience, between the sound, the high-speed erotic powerpoint screening in the back and the man in the front, like a beast in a cage by times. Truly electric atmosphere.

Hijokaidan and Incapacitants at LAFMS Festival, London 2020. It was wild and loud.

*2010!

But the Hijokaidan set gets my vote. Pure chaotic bliss, one of the best things I've ever seen, don't remember a moment of it sonically

Check! 2010 off course. The Incapacitants set was my favorite but I can't remember why..

Dead Audio 2002 in Houston. Could not tell you one thing about the sound. All that comes to mind when I think of it is Eugenics Council's amazing presence, Shaun Kelly getting his hand sliced open during said set, seeing T.E.F. perform acts of wizardry, and Viodre being "too cool for school" (the NY way). Had to there to understand the impact.

There has been couple gigs where sheer volume itself was the key. Not really remembering how exactly artists sounded, but it was so loud as fuck, it was becoming ridiculous. One of those being Prurient/Emil Beaulieau/Jessica Rylan and bunch of others at Eastborne UK. Room was small, and there was massive dance hall sound system meant for beach parties or something. Just insane power compared to small concrete room. When you stood in corner of room, it feel like you are almost throwing up due pressure. Not being nauseous, but just the pressure starting to trigger vomiting, hah.. Never in my life felt like that. I recall recording devices like Minidisc recorder was skipping due sound pressure. It could not write digital information in such sound vibrations and had to be hidden inside layers of clothes or something. Memorable also that Grunt played TWO gigs during night. First one was playing first, when audience had not yet arrived. Then I was requested to play new set, but when I played last, everybody had already left. So two gigs for pretty much just artists & hang arounds. haha! No problem!

The guy who arranged that show said RRRon told him it was the only time he'd ever seen Dom smile during a Prurient set.
