Thanks, I'll be checking this out today. @ Daimyo. Yup.. I spent quite a bit of time listening to Aube, less with Cock E.S.P. Speaking of them though, I just noticed yesterday that they got there name from the first Hanatarash LP.
Aube was great, I was lucky enough to see Cock ESP play... for their standard 4 or 5 minute set...turned the bright lights on the crowd and end with them rolling around in the crowd wrestling Never been lucky enough to get to see Merzbow, but I did get to see KK Null of Zeni Geva fame do his noise project
This is a little self promoting but oddly very timely in this thread. I just sold the Merzbow article to a Slovakian book, slated for publication in 2013.
