I know you're going to roll your eyes, but...

Tzadik Label Music Series: New Voices from Japan - Haino Keiji, Makigami Koichi and Yamataka Eye Performing Arts Spring 2006 Friday & Saturday, May 12 & 13 7:30 pm Curated by John Zorn. Presented in association with Tzadik. An unprecedented meeting of avant-garde masters of experimental music, these two evenings of extreme vocalist-musicians launch Japan Society’s new music series collaboration with Tzadik, the nonprofit record label founded in 1995 by John Zorn. Over two concerts, a surprising combination of solos, duos and trios produces an unpredicatable kaleidoscope of sounds and screeches, featuring the boldest vocal works in Japan’s new music scene: vocalist-composer, theremin-player and pioneer in avant-noise-music Makigami Koichi, known for leading the longest-running underground band Hikashu; disturbing iconoclast Yamataka Eye, who first garnered public attention with his violent noise group Hanatarash and later as the front man vocalist for the Boredoms; and underground noise guitar-hero Haino Keiji, Japanese wizard and true star. This dynamic meeting features U.S.-based guests voice-master and leader of Fantomas Mike Patton; American post-classical composer Jim O’Rourke; breath-taking laptop pioneer Mori Ikue; and radical composer-saxophonist John Zorn himself. Tickets: $30/$25 Japan Society members. 2-day pass: $46/$38 Japan Society members. Please call (212) 715-1258 to purchase the pass.

I like how Haino Keiji is described as "true star".

Talkin' shit about Heino?

Actually, he's billed as a hero. "Haino! I'm holding out for a Haino at the endo of the night! He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be... (excruciatingly loud)..." "It's time, It's time, It's time to align yr body with yr mind, it's HAINO time! HAINO time starts right now! Hey!" sorry I dont know how the rest of the 'hero' song right now. Who did that originally? Laura Branigan? The other quote is from one of G lib's favorite artists who has his own TV show on IFC...

Actually, per the All About Jazz website's April 1st 2006 article, Regis Philbin appears to be a fan of these sonic shenanigans. Alas, it is a 4/1 article, so its gotta be a joke...
