∆ Boy Dirt Car
Outlaws, Outsiders and Artifacts have played a part of Boy Dirt Car from the very inception. Along with the nightmarish chaos and improvisation that has exposed evidence of a decaying culture in 1980’s abandoned soundscapes. These sounds have now been replaced with an artifact that echoes the final vision of destruction of
the western world .
In our fourth decade Boy Dirt Car and our joyful noise have continued. The participants have changed as the voyage has continued long past our launch in 1981. A great debt of gratitude is owed to everyone living or dead who has contributed to Boy Dirt Car: performers, recordists, listeners, drivers, poets, barbers, film makers, disc jockeys, critics, fellow travelers, short order cooks, con men, gas station attendants. All friends and foe’s alike.
These 40 years have included live performances across our continent with Einsturzende Neubauten, Sonic Youth, Psychic TV, Shockability, Big Black, TSOL, Pussy Glore, Fred Frith,
Zev, Die Keuzen. As well with decades of recordings have been documented by a dozen available via Industrial coast No Rent Records, RRRecords, Sub Pop, After Music Recordings, and reissued in Australia by Lexicon Devil.
“Boy Dirt Car creates a sound not like being in a car crash, but of being under one”
Boy Dirt Car has always been composed of outsiders, and will always be outsiders .
Now is the only thing that is real.
“…Why bother with Boy Dirt Car? For the simple reason that they are one of the great
missing links in ’80s U.S. punk-noise underground culture”
“Boy Dirt Car may hardly be a household name in the world of pop, but for noise
aficionados worldwide, those three words conjure up visions and dreams of a time when the
words “noise” and “industrial” really meant something…
Milwaukee’s Boy Dirt Car were their good city’s preeminent punk-noise-industrial outfit who
originally roamed the state and country from roughly 1981 ’til 1989

∆ Drekka
Working under the moniker Drekka since 1996, composer Michael Anderson has spent the last twenty-five years touring, traveling, and collaborating extensively; collecting memories and building a very personal archive of sound that dates back to the mid-1980’s when he first became interested in the emerging industrial tape culture scene coming out of post-punk Europe and the DIY ethos it taught.
Anderson sculpts his ritualistic and cinematic ambient soundscapes using self-made field recordings of everything from insects in the mountains outside Kathmandu to a washing machine in Reykjavik, from countless sketches and abandoned projects donated by friends, from hundreds of hours of multi-track live recordings of Drekka captured all around the world, from his own voice and various instruments and objects found around his house.
