Cock E.S.P. and Reale Sadd at The Wisco-dupe, do not use.
Pretty, welcoming repurposings of noise and avant-garde electronic music (Animal Collective, Fuck Buttons) have picked up hordes of new fans over the past few years, many of whom might not know that there was once a time when people made weird-ass music out of plague-caliber spite. Minneapolis' E.W. Hagstrom has been doing just that since 1993 under the Cock E.S.P. moniker, shaping static, feedback, and ungodly frequencies into a battery of rusty ice picks and dirty syringes for the ears. Hagstrom and his merry hit squad don't bother with any rational concept of rhythm, and the group's wretchedly kinky performance-art antics make Cock E.S.P. shows antagonistic to eyes and ears alike.
The Wisco-dupe, do not use. 852 Williamson Street, Madison, WI
