Noise Ramones

More noise than Ramones. Here's another fucked up side side side project of Yamatsuke Eye, Noise Ramones and their 2000 release, Rocket To D.N.A. This one is a tough listen, see if you can get through it. I guess it is high time for an "Eye" label for the blog.

DJ Chaos X

Another Eye (Boredomes, Hanatarash, Naked City) incarnation. This being Eye injecting his manic styles into the medium of turntables. Lots of weird manipulations of classic punk albums, sound effects records, and whatever else he felt like throwing into his "hyperhard mix." By now you figured that The Hearse loves everything Eye does, and this is no exception.

Soul Discharge

I bought this based on the cover alone knowing nothing of this band. I was floored, it was like if The Butthole Surfers were better dressed and Japanese. When they came to San Francisco a few years later, Matty Luv and I went to see them at the Kennel Club. After the show we were in a state of shock, what the fuck had we just seen? We sat in foggy Alamo Square park talking about music and art until the sun came up , and then we formed a band, That band was Hickey. And that concludes my Paul Harvey style monologue.

Eye & Chew

Eye (Boredoms, Naked City, Hanatarash) teams up with Chew (Corrupted) to annoy or amuse you depending on where you stand on this kind of shit. Destroy 2 (don't know if there was a Destroy 1) is like a huge inside joke in a language you do not understand. This extremely bizarre nine minutes was recorded live in Osaka in 1995 when Eye & Chew opened for Brutal Truth. I wonder what Dan Lilker thought of it.

Total Retardation

Hanatarash's 1996 7" EP Total Retardation. Graciously sent to me by a reader whose name I forget. I am totally retarded for not remembering. This is fucking rule!!!

Torture

This is what you get when high-brow Jazz musicians indulge their deepest low-brow love of grindcore, pulp novels, and far-eastern fetish porn, Naked City's Torture Garden album. As much as I hate this kind of musical "slumming it," this album blew my mind upon my first listen. Skittish blur-lounge death spasms from codgers that usually play dreadful places like Yoshi's and one mister Eye of The Boredoms. Essential.

The Hanatarash And His EYE

Here is Hanatarash's 1992 EP titled The Hanatarash and his EYE. Wildness.

ナチの金属をサーフする酸

Puzzling

Yamantaka Eye (Boredoms, Hanatarash, Naked City) and well-known visual artist and Juke/19 mastermind, Shinro Ohtake, launch a new genre they call "Puzzle Punk" by creating this fake compilation of 24 bands packaged in a stunning book of Ohtake's illustrations. All the tracks by puzzle punk bands with names like City Band, Do Good, Ha Ha Ha, Poo, Rapebeatles, Dr. Drugland, Wipe Out Shock Shoppers, and MC5 or 6, are in fact the work of Eye and Ohtake. Like the Hanatarash/Evil Moisture collaboration posted some time back, this is more like Hanatarash than anything else, but you also get Ohtake's weird collage/found object design/sound sense. If you are a fan of the stop-start, glitchcore sonic quilts of Juke/19 or Hanatarash you will find this interesting, all others will find this annoying and pointless. I'm willing to indulge Ohtake and Eye and tag this as a compilation.

Ichi The Killer

Film critic TC Candler called Ichi The Killer "A Dreadful Film Made for the Lowest Common Denominator." Well, he also lists Counting Crows as one of his favorite bands so, as you can guess, Mr. Candler is a tool. Ichi The Killer is a blood red parable about a retarded killing machine and the well-dressed masochistic yakuza who desires only to be destroyed by him. What's not to love about that? Counting Crows didn't do the soundtrack, but The Boredoms did, and here it is...

Here

Aids-A-Delic

The fourth album from Hanatarash came out in 1994 and was affectionately titled Aids-A-Delic. My favorite Hanatarash album by far.

Here

William Bennett Has No Dick

The Hanatarash continue their war against the noise music establishment on their third LP/CD William Bennett Has No Dick. Skreeeeeee, ponk ponk, skreet. zzzrrrrpppp!!!!

無し 陽物

Vomit Eat Shit Noise Music

The second album from The Hanatarash, sometimes called "Maw" bears the provocative statement in the liners "Kill all noise artists! We hate Whitehouse. Piss off N.W.W. Asshole C 93. Suck P.T.V. Fuck Coil. We love disco sound. Vomit eat shit noise music." Indeed.

Cock!

The snot-nosed, machete-wielding, molotov cocktail-hurling noise beast known as The Hanatarashi was formed in 1984 by Yamatsuka Eye, who later gained more notoriety as the singer of The Boredoms. The "band" quickly became infamous for their completely destructive and over-the-top live performances. These early shows are the stuff of legend and myth. Did Eye really destroy a venue with a bulldozer at a Hanatarshi show? Did he really almost cut his own leg off with a circular saw? Well, I'd like to believe so.

Hanatarashi's first album is a harsh, toxic wind of pure power electronic nastiness, and oh so so much cock! Not their most interesting work by a long shot, but it was their first so it's a good place to start. Later the band shortened the name to The Hanatarash and released albums way into the '90s. The momentum picked up when The Hanatarash experimented more with noise collage and the manipulation of pre-existing sounds, many from early hardcore and grind albums. The Hanatarash seemed to have an extreme reverence for hardcore, be it the makeshift graphic aesthetic or just the chaotic, anti-everything ethos of the genre. Even their logo is reminiscent of Negative Approach. The Hanatarash lived to go too far. Violent beyond the senseless, The Hanatarash were about as real as it fucking gets. Fuck You.

Cock!

Punk Yappie Cutting Tree

Here we have "Fatanarchy On Airtube", the collaborative aural assault from Japan's Hanatarashi (the pre-Boredoms noise group of Eye) and the U.S.A.'s Evil Moisture. The two entities share a love torturing the ears of their listeners with over-blown distorted noise. What we have here is a nasty collection of fast edits culled from a wide array of sources, samples (including Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"), feedback, drones, screams in quick jabs and blasts. One of the songs is supposedly an Exploited cover, but how anybody could tell is beyond me. The whole thing conceptually seems to be a tribute to/piss take on punk. If you could imagine the clip-art collage aesthetic of a wall full of punk fliers transformed into sound, you might get an idea of what this is like. It's probably best to just experience it for yourself. Oh, and I swear I heard a milisecond of "Circle A" by the early Swiss grind band, Fear of God in there.
