The Orange Noise

Blake Conley is putting on his Droneroom  boots and bringing his unique brand of guitar loop dreaminess to the Surface Noise listening room on Friday September 27th at 9pm.  While he's no stranger to making noise at the small-but-mighty record shop, art gallery, and performance space at the corner of Baxter Ave and Payne Street, this outing is special.   He'll be offering up his latest release,  I'll Make It Up To You I Swear  ( Somewherecold Records ), for you to pick up at what I'm sure is a very reasonable charge.  It's also his birthday.

Orange Noise contributor Rev. Snow was able to capture this footage from the Bad Wires set at The Tiger Room in Louisville.  Opening up for the infamous Hank Von Hell, the bill also featured Overdose, Scrooge Mandella, and Creeps Inc.  Ultimately an ill fated outing, with a blown bass amp fucking up the situation, this is a solid clip caught early in the set.   It's been a busy summer for the guys in Bad Wires and they're about to wrap up their local gigs for a while. Word is they're about to birth this album baby I've been hearing about, and plan to get on the road to push their wares and rock the faces of strangers.  Sounds like a good time. Coming off high frequencies from a successful show at the Monnik/Schnitzelburg walk last weekend, you can catch them on Thursday 9.19 at The Care Less Lounge w/ Push Start and Castle Black  . Loud room alert.
