Wooden Octopus Skull: A Preview
Last year The Wooden Octopus Skull Experimental Musick pFestival debuted, giving Seattle-area (and beyond) noiseniks and lovers of anomic/atomic sound a four-day spectacle in which to indulge. The event drew noisicians from all over the globe; the turnout was phenomenal considering how uncompromising the lineups were.
We just received info for the 2006 edition of WOS, and we’ve bought a gross of Etymotic’s finest earplugs in preparation for it. It’s never too early to start getting psyched for this cochlea-shattering extravaganza. Here’s the press release, uncut.
Well it’s getting to be that time again….time for the old Wooden Octopus to rise from the murky depths of the Puget Sound and wreek havoc on the listening land dwellers…Here’s a peek at what’s in store…PsychForm Records and Enterruption & the Electric Heavyland present:

Throw 'em a grip of Benjamins and they'll regroup faster than you can say "creative differences."
Looks like a good line-up. Of course, I ain't heard of half of these bands, but that was one of the best parts about last years pfest - discovering great stuff that you'd been missing out on. I also like that they've cut down the number of events while expanding the length of the shows. Six shows in four days = burnout. (See also: SIFF.)

Why did I think that Friends Forever had broken up? Wasn't their show at Electric Heavyland last summer their "last show ever?"
