Fckn Bstrds -- NOISE TRASH (dvd) [Hondenkoekjesfabriek]

Having previously listened to only a tiny bit of their recorded output, and never seeing their live show or pictures of them or anything... I honestly can say I didn't know what to expect when I put this in. I was pleasantly surprised. Quite honestly, this rules and is a DVD that you should seek out RIGHT NOW if you haven't already. A variety of scenes and sounds... from awesome public noise-annoyance (the little kid poking one of them then running away was great), to funny-as-hell sexual animation that made me laugh and spit booze everywhere and made some feminist sourpuss at a party get all pissed. How can you not laugh at a vagina blowing smoke and coughing, or a whistling snake crawling out a girl's butthole when she has teeth where her snatch should be? What the fuck. Anyway, there's some killer live sickness on here, ranging from a radio-station performance circus, to a really trippy-looking performance where they colored all over the film in post-production... really disorienting and perfect for baked brains to get squishy over. As usual, the Bstrds are all decked out in random pieces of trash, colorful and confusing masks and costumes made of assorted junk, all while howling and rolling around on the floor and throwing things and touching their asses and all sorts of chaos... processed via effects into a feedback drenched sea of hiss and crunch. Sounds at points reminded me of Cock ESP live stuff, but only slightly... and only because I was drunk and watching a DVD of people rolling around on the ground over a bunch of noise. A solid release from these crazy Dutch fucks. The intro includes footage of a guy lifting some heavy shit with his dick and balls and also made some bitches at that party get all upset. Excellent!
