Instagon 20 Year Anniversary Show - session #623 - photos and Audio!

INSTAGON's official 20th Anniversary show took place on Feb. 2, 2013 at Marilyn's on K in Sacramento,CA.  We were joined for this occasion by local friends EGG, and from SF the LORDS OF OUTLAND once again joined us for our birthday.  It was a fabulous night of chaos and music with new and old friends. The Instagon performance included 17 various individuals as part of the group and included 3 of the original 4 members from Instagon's first invokation. (Lob, Peek, & Chris TM were all present.. only Myke Quest was not)

LASTLY..  the SOUNDS.. 

We opened this show with an audience participation percussion "Instacabra"..and then fell into a nearly 15 minute version of Sun Ra's "Space Is The Place" featuring Laurie Amat (of The Residents) on vocals.  It was an exceptional show with lots and lots of friends and players.  You can stream or download the entire show from our page at archives.org.   here is the link... enjoy!!

NEWS - RECENT INTERVIEWS - PaperCuts & (dis)perse

Just in the past month there have been 2 separate interviews published with me (Lob) regarding Instagon, AIN, Chaos, and musick.. they are both really great interviews.. the first one is part of the new issues of PAPER CUTS Magazine, issue #5..released from the Paper Cuts Records label. 

Its an interview that was conducted earlier this year on line between myself and Justin Cassidy of The Transhumans.  The magazine also features a couple of articles written by me, one that is a label spotlight and short interview with Steve Davis of Love Earth Music, and the other is a an article about Audible Disease Effect Pedals that also includes interviews with Bob Scott of Audible Disease..other interviews include Bob Bellarue, Chopstick, & Corpseboy/Justin Cassidy.  The issue also features a 3" CDR with music from Chopstick, Justin Cassidy/Corpseboy, and Instagon.  The track is the title track of the Echophobic ep.  This mag is usually only printed in small runs 100-200 copies, so if you are interested.. you should order it. 

This interview was done around the time of the Echophobic CD release that happened in the late Spring, also from Paper Cuts Records. And talks alot about that release. The release is limited to only 50 copies.. and is easily the most exquisite looking release Instagon has done since the debut CD in 1994. ..its very beautiful and highly recommended.  

The next interview for your viewing pleasure is in a new  online blog/zine publication that has come out from Auricular Records, and it is called " (dis)perse ".   (This is a fairly new publication and they are looking for more submissions and writers).  The interview featured currently in (dis)perse was done very recently over the net between myself and Alan Herrick of Nux Vomica.  Some of the questions were very interesting and replies that involved talking about Instagon and chaos magick theory, my opinions on the noise scene and much more.. this blog can be found at

 Both of these interviews are really swell and I hope you check them out and find them interesting.. dont forget to leave comments.. comments are the best thing the net has to offer!     Happy reading!  -/\-
