Never mind the later, cleaner studio version: With this live version of “Chanson Dada,” Noise 292 lives up to its name.
Recorded Nov. 17, 1983, when we played the Che Cafe with Hair Theatre and 11 Sons, the band activates the metal machine; the middle eight (sixteen? thirty-two?) sounds like we’re torturing a large mechanical animal with a chainsaw. Not recommended for nursing mothers or people with mercury-amalgam fillings! Kristin Martin (rhythm guitar); David Rives (lead guitar); Wendell Kling (trash percussion); Joanne Norris (drums); Matthew Rothenberg (bass, vocals).
