Grundale Records is proud to present the first ever Athens Experimental Music Festival Live Compilation. This recording compiles over 5 hours of music from local and national acts who participated in the first ever Athens Experimental Music Festival (AEMfest) in Athens, Ohio. AEMfest is a not-for-profit event presented by The Action Committee, ACRN.com and Grundale Records. We hope this is the first of many live AEMfest compilations to be presented by Grundale Records.

Apologies for varying levels of recording qualities...not all bands could be recorded out of the soundboard.

Bobb Hatt Attack - Llive Wworks 2008-2009 (GD030)

Bobb Hatt Attack is the noise / free jazz / performance art project of Bobb Hatt from Athens. Bobb's sets use tape loops, overblown saxophone, microphone feedback, effects, found objects, percussion and partial nudity and combine them all into a swirling miasma of disgusting skronk and ear-splitting tones. Possibly the best context to see Bobb is live, where his sets carry quite the visual impact as well. It gives me great pleasure that Bobb, a stunning performer and good friend, has made it possible to make this album the 30th release on Grundale Records. Snag this now. Album art is by Aaron Vilk.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?3m23txzeemd

Tracks:
1) Adjacent Sofas
2) For Will.

Sly and The Family Stallone is the noise project of Cameron Dutton and Kyle Rieve, two high school seniors from Hilliard, Ohio, that creates fuzzed-out sound collages using synths and looped samples. Unless they have self-released material, this is their debut release. Give them a spin. It's pretty cool. Album art by Aaron Vilk

This release is a live recording taken from his set at the Crystal Castle on Friday, February 13th, 2009. Album artwork by Katie Baadke.
