This is the Make it Up Club gig guide for Mess + Noise.
The Make it Up Club has been presenting a weekly program of avant garde/experimental improvised music in Melbourne for nearly 10 years.
It features local, interstate and international performers who play everything from the acoustic to the electronic, jazz to rock, harsh noise to lilting sonority; what unifies the music presented at the Make it Up Club is that it is predominantly freely improvised and exemplifies the cutting-edge aspects of the genre/s it derives from.
It is the longest-running program of it's kind in Australia, and is currently based at Bar Open (317 Brunswick St Fitzroy, Melbourne), where concerts are presented every Tuesday night starting at 8.30pm.
very cool.
Tuesday 10th July, 2007
Rob Jackson (who played in legendary Melbourne jazzpunk unit, King Idiot), performs extreme and beautiful solo sax.
Ryan McRobb (local ambient noise guitar player: www.myspace.com/mousetrapreplicamusic)
Jerome Noetinger (legendary French analogue noise genius touring Australia at the moment with Metamkine for Liquid Architecture)/Robin Fox (Melbourne's MAX/MSP and laser noise king)/ Anthony Pateras (Melbournes finest prepared pianist and vox-noise scronker) team for a trio that has not been witnessed outside Paris!!!
Sweet night!
Do you know what time Jerome Noetinger (France) /Rob Fox/Anthony Pateras are on? Might have to do some other shit but really, really want to see this!
I would say after 10pm Pelty, but I can't guarantee that.

Chris Skepper (trumpet) and Andrew Harrison (keyboards). Explorations of the spaces between notes utilising various gadgets and electronic wizardry...
Adam Simmons (sax's) and Tom Fryer (guitar). 2 stalwarts of Melbourne's avant scene in a rare duet performance.
Buttercup Metal Polish (Switzerland) featuring Alex Babel and Nicholas Field on dueling drumkits and percussion. Highly recommended fucked/noi8se improv madness from Europe.

Buttercup shall be sweet.

Tom Fryer Quartet

I think chats with more conventional musical chats may dig the MIUC lineup tonight.
Meter Maid will no doubt bring some sublime and aetherial beauty, whilst the Tom Fryer 4tet will deliver the math-rock improv scronks.
And even chats with more conventional musical tastes; if they can't find any conventional musical chats (which I find highly unlikely).
Yah Tom I'm keen to catch.. but you know.. usual story.
some stiff comp coming from richmond way tonight....
