This one was held at the place that means 'the corner' in Spanish. Probably because it's located on a corner or something. It was nice indeed.

Things got out of hand during the Xome set and partial nudity, moshing, clawing and fist pounding became the choice of a new generation. I love it... brings me back to the punk days of the 1980s.

August 19, 2007

Well this show was held at someone's house with a most unlikely lineup. Performing were SICKNESS, Randy H.Y. Yau, Pedestrian Deposit, Rubber Cement, Oscillating Innards, Stimbox and, your's truly, Xome. The only thing missing from this 'house party' was the keg and a good PA.

11 Eleven Club, Billings, MT, US

Xome at Noise in Montana - June 7, 2002

Spider Monkey (not Spire Monkey) from Billings started off this monumental event with his noise-DJ act. Next up were Empty also from Billings. A solid computer based sequence which ran amuk. After that was DCLXVI from Whitehall, MT. The harshest laptop based noise I've ever heard! Then came Pop Culture Rape Victim, again from Billings. Excellent noise.. excellent action. Eight enthusiastic thumbs up! Then Stimbox played a mean set of really psycadellic noizu. Xome played last and furious. Squeezed 3 hours of crunchy harshness into 13 minutes. This was supposedly the first ever noise show in Billings. I'm sure nobody who came to the show will ever forget...!

Xome at The Loft, Sacramento, CA, US - March 18, 2002

Xome played first, fast and loud. There were a few people there who wished they had some earplugs but they didn't and now they still cannot hear all that well. Stimbox joined forces with Shitty Things and whipped up a broken rock noise frappachino deluxe. There was also a jazzy jazz outfit that played as well as a rawk band. I don't think it was an Ozzy cover band.

Luna's Cafe is rather small and the PA was way too loud. A great night of noise.

dori dock night @ E-regular
Cyberia, Nishi Azabu, Tokyo, Japan

Xome at dori dock night @ E-regular - December 22, 1998

Here here. The bounciest and most disorganized Xome performance to date was right here on this very night. The fact that "Xome is Xome and always will be Xome" was hard-wired into everyone's brain. In theory it was a good show. Someone even yelled "Lynard Skynard" after the performance was all done. The others that also performed were Kentaro Hamasato and lots of DJs spinning discs.

Mikawa & Pain Jerk), Stimbox (from San Francisco), Crack Fierce, *0 ( x - Maniac Pussy ) and Cracksteel get together and play one of those groovy noise shows.

January 20, 1998
Extreme Attitude
Club Taurus, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan

I heard this one was called Extreme Attitude and that was the understatement of the evening. OK. So what. It was Xome's first time to play outside of Tokyo. The shinkan bullit train was ridden all the way to Nagoya to perform with lots of music bad-boys. For example, Negarobo (from Sapporo), Beach on You, Multiplex (from Tokyo). A good time was had by all.

Xome at Bar Aoyama, Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan - May 14, 1997

Xome played at this club that was this virtually unseen hole in the wall under a bridge in Aoyama, but the joke was on Xome. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist superstar, Rick Dobbs, fell into an open sewer and was pulled to safety by a scantily clad girl in a bunny outfit. People like TV Pow, who also played, stayed away from the stench that was emanating from Rick's poop-saturated jeans.

Golly gee whizz!

April 4, 1995

20,000 Volts, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan

In one evening, live on stage...Pukoo, Xome, Yohei Hasegawa. Not too many people showed up but the ones that did were more than entertained. Perhaps the most outstanding Xome performance to date. If you missed it, kick yourself once, forget about it because you can't go back in time, and come to the next performance.

March 7, 1995
Flying Heads Om
20,000 Volts, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan

A real performance because a nice name was gracefully stuck on this mother. Xome performed with : Puckoo, the Subways, Yohei Hasegawa project. Hmmm, we kind of thought that this one was going to be done at Yaneura again but, confusion for the masses.... it was at 20,000 V.
