Noisy Breakup
The Infernal Noise Brigade is breaking up. Over the last few months, a lot of members of the planet-traversing marching band have announced that they are quitting, some because they don’t think the band is as tough or daring as it could be, some because of personal differences. People join and quit the Infernal Noise Brigade all the time, but the recent departures seemed like something of a mass exodus. (And, from a critical standpoint, the best and most interesting members of the band were, by and large, the ones who were quitting.) Then, last week, one member sent an email to the rest of the band, subject-lined “One shot in the dark,” proposing that they disband, and two days later it was official.
You could sort of see it in the defeated, our-heart’s-not-in-it-anymore show they did downtown at the Westlake plaza two weekends ago. They have one more scheduled performance on Saturday April 8 at Northwest Film Forum. Details here.
