Ratskin Explastical Monthly #15
El Rincon, San Francisco, CA, US
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.

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.

Noise in Montana
11 Eleven Club, Billings, MT, US
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...!
FlyerMarch 18, 2002
The Loft, Sacramento, CA, US
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.
December 17, 2001
Harshnoise Holiday
The Loft, Sacramento, CA, US
Xome flopped hair and made good noise at the Loft in Sacramento. Other performers were Stimbox, Pedestrian Deposit, Delayed Sleep and Shitty Things. The five people that were there had a decent injection of noise to close out the year.

Live In Studio A
KDVS, Davis, CA, US
Xome played live on the radio waves during the "Live In Studio A" show on KDVS 90.3FM, Davis, CA. Stimbox also played the same hour. It was a frightning night of harsh noise for the avid radio listener.
October 5, 2001
NorCal Noise Festival 2001 (Day 1)
Luna's Cafe & Juice Bar, Sacramento, CA, US
Xome played a short but crunchy and squeaky harsh noise performance. Also playing were other miracles of noise like Critical Theatre, Deconstruct, Delayed Sleep, Pablo St. Chaos, Products of Conception, Sleeping with the Earth, Stimbox, and Stolen Light. Luna's Cafe is rather small and the PA was way too loud. A great night of noise.

Folks were also graced with the delights of Cock ESP, Delayed Sleep, Uberkunst, Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits and perhaps Fourone500, The Bob Weirdos and DJ Rexor.

April 3, 1999
Uplink Factory, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

December 22, 1998
dori dock night @ E-regular
Cyberia, Nishi Azabu, Tokyo, Japan
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.

Keiren no Yoru 4 (Spastic Night 4)
UFO Club, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
Everyone came to the UFO Club to see Mo*Te, Xome, Yukiko, MSBR & K2 & Government Alpha & Evil Moisture (from the U.K.) & Rudolf (from Sweden), Kiyoshi Mizutani, Facialmess, Kazumoto Endo, Gomikawa (T. 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. It was an evening of sounds ranging from the rediculous to the extreme. It seems like a lot of people who came were rather entertained.
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.
July 26, 1997
Tokyo Neo-Sounds Showcase
UFO Club, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
An all night touchy feely nice night with Xome and lots of other cacophonic peoplez.
May 14, 1997
Bar Aoyama, Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan
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.

Exquisite and Difficult Music Festival Day number 2
20,000 Volts, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
Lot's of people banged their little heads with Xome at the second day of this well-planned two day festival. We also saw the likes of Merzbow, Melt Banana, TV Pow (from the USA of A), Kirihito and Tsunoda / Furukawa. We wanted to drink Japanese sake floating on a little tray in a hot tub but they wouldn't lettuce.

Keiren no Yoru 2 (Spastic Night 2)
Antiknock, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan

Your friend and mine, Xome, got to bounce around with Incapacitants, TV Pow (from Chicago), Government Alpha, Crack Feirce, Crack Steel, Government Alpha, Building of Gel, Kazumoto Endo, Magmax and K2. Yes, 11 noisy noisicians all in a row. And we finally got to go back home at 6 AM.

Izumiwaku Project 1996
Izumi Junior High School, Eifuku-chou, Tokyo, Japan
Golly gee whizz! Xome got together with Yuuji Sashizawa who played percussion instruments and Souichirou Hamasaka & Shinobu Moshino who do the Butoh dance to make a spectacular outdoor noise and dance performance. This was part of the two-week Izumiwaku Project 1996 where artists, musicians and performers get together and do weird things with spoons. We even practiced for this one.

20,000 Volts, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
Gee what else?! Xome joined up with Barrell Organ (perhaps XomeOrgan?) to produce something that everyone liked and brought home with them in their minds. Mindanao performed too as well as H. Burger from Stereo. Urgesnake played too! Xome tried not to wreck the big amps at 20,000 volts. You have to had seen this....

REM Vol. 4 - White Room Dream Flash!
Uplink Factory, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Xome had this performance with Otomo Yoshihide, Astro Twin (Ami Yoshida and Utah Kawasaki), Satoru Wono, Yuko Nexus 6, Microscope and Tomomi Adachi as everyone's favorite master of ceremonies. Watch out! Xome used a long plastic tube of sorts.

Killart 1995
Theatre Poo, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan
Death Squad (from San Francisco), Stimbox (from San Francisco), Xome, Killer Bug and a wonderful trio featuring Tsunoda Tsuguto and Mike Hartman. A virtual flying kinky kids fuck fest full of dissonance and excruciating imagery. jEsus Krrist! It was a blast from the future - right in my ear-hole.

"The Pain Factory" TV program

Sonic Pareidolia Paradise vol 3.0.1
Gear, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
This one was with Incapacitants, Mackerel Can Molding Company, Xome, Mindanao and Grand Mother Fucker. This night was filled with strangeness beyond the human imagination. We saw big bears craving fish, improvised muck rock and a rather bizarre performance sound-wise from Xome.

X.O.M.E. ten
Oka Garou, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
Xome members participated in a month long exhibit at the famed Oka Garou (Gallery). Alien life forms and UFO pics were placed in the window and hi-tech noise making radio equipment summoned alien craft. Visitors had to sign a release form before operating the equipment. No humans were harmed during this exhibit.
August 10, 1995
Cyber, Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan
The Japan Transcendental Cacophony hosted a cornucopia of cacophony with Merzbow, Xome, CCCP, Killer Bug and Pain Jerk. People came. People cried. People left. People will always remember. There will be some real Xome photos taken at this one for you to gaze at and wonder.

A honest-to-goodness performance because Xome split lots and lots of ears and scared everyone. It was with Mackerel Can Moulding Company, Lemon (?), Butthole Cosuck, and the ever so amazing, Sukarabe Jizo. Sometimes I wonder.

JTCA presents...
20,000 Volts, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
A true blue performance because this incredible performance was sponsored by the Japan Trancsendental Cacophony Association . CCCC, Pain Jerk, Grand Mother Fucker, Xome, Cult Junk Cafe and Pukoo put on a extreme and extremly jolly good show. A lot of people came to see this one but the world didn't end the next day. Thanks to the great gum of alien abductions.

Keep us Fuckin' On vol. 14
20,000 Volts, Koenji, Tokyo, Japan
An honest to gum performance because on this incredible night, you were enlightened by Grand Mother Fucker, Little Fujiko, Xome, Piraneji and Hormone Rider. It was actually guaranteed to be a show never to be forgotten and nobody has so far. And that's all...
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.
February 12, 1995
The Vegetable Soup on the Hibachi
Yaneura, Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, Japan

Igyou no Oukoku (Kingdom of Freaks) vol. 37
LaMama, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
A real performance because Xome went out on a limb with Merzbow, C.C.C.C.II, Seiichi Yamamoto, (Boredoms, Omoide Hatoba), Kumiko Yamamoto and time didn't permit M. Jackson to go on. Sob.
