Weapons Of Sound – Junk Band Extravaganza!


Found while trying to save some innocent plant pots from the ravages of mlokWeapons of Sound make rubbish music! (*giggle*) ahem which is to say rather they make music with rubbish, or as they themselves put it – Junk Funk:

“In January 1993 the Weapons of Sound junk funk extravaganza began its frenzied journey through the uncharted realms of all things bashable. Kitchen sinks, gas pipes, shopping trolleys, plastic barrels, scaffolding . . . nothing escaped in the initial clamour to build bold and beatable instruments.”

Oh yes indeedy, bangin’ on things is fun 😉 as can clearly be evidenced by these (regrettably few, regrettably short) samples.

There are some more on the site, although in RealPlayer format, which I shan’t link as Real is of course the work of satan, and to be quite frank one of his dodgier efforts, lucyfur needs to brush up his VB skillz that’s for sure, or learn a real programming language, like perl for instance.

Urban Strawberry Lunch are purveyors of similar refuse related rhythms, however there isn’t really anything much up on their site as yet, we wait with bated breath, and hankies over our noses…
