PYRAMID CLUB - - NYC
 
Rat signs up to the first ever live performance of
Madame Chao's Chaorin Kombat noise
tournament.  The challengers are welcome to bring
their skills to test in a 5 man battle royal where
open mic meets toughman competition meets
dwarf tossing.

 
BATTLE TO BE THE OPENING ACT
 
Chaorin Kombat rules are thuswise:

-The first 5 people to sign up for noise battle will
be entered into the competition.
-Qualification is based on attendance and ability
to produce electronic noise.
-Those who wish to participate must be able to
output sound to a mixer either with 1/4" or XLR
audio outputs.
-Contestant's noise rig must be set and ready
(able to output sound) no more than 5 minutes
from any given moment.  Failure to produce
sound 5 minutes from start time equals
immediate disqualification.    KEEP IT SIMPLE.
-Contestant's noise rig may not occupy any more
physical space than the contestant himself
(herself).  You may not back a truck up into the
space, make use of flame throwers, or feed a live
animal into a wood chipper etc.,
 
All kombatants will produce sound
simultaneously through independent channels
feed to a single mixer.  Each channel will be
monitored by a panel of judges. The weakest
kombatants will be removed one by
one until the winner emerges.
 
The winner will earn the right to be the opening act
at Cock ESP's "Back in Black and Blue" Tour

sign up begins at 9:30pm - Battle begins promptly
at 10:30.

thank you to all who came.  thank you to all who
played - especially the walk-ins for kombat that I
hadn't met before.  There were three dudes I dont
know.  One of which I think I had introduced
myself to as if I hadn't just asked him his name 2
minutes ago - - like 3 times. AND  I still don't know
who you and the others are.  - - but you
guys brought the sound I wanted to hear - - so
thanks again.

Rat the winner was just dope.  You couldn't deny him - - as
bad as you wanted to.  I tried. 

Cock esp: raising its bar for all of us.
Bacon's suicide flip off the stage onto that
platform was damn near as finely skilled and
athletic as a graceful yet masculine olympic
figureskater.  like brian boytano fucked on jank.

cheers, nitz!

You should have been at the Church that night.
Lots of bad vibes/drugs/nudity and bodily harm were in effect.
plus lots of baby powder! ...and the mid-air collision between Paige
and MSG that sent him flying off the stage with a set of completely smashed
balls. ... followed by MSG's obligatory rant.
