Here's a few of the (International) Noise Conspiracy, from at a jazz festival in Sweden in 2003. They are joined by jazz saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar and jazz pianist Sven-Erik Dahlber, both apparently big deals in Swedish jazz. Rad. (You can read the whole long thing about the gig at
Alternative Tentacles.) What I dig about these guys is that in their particular salad bowl you can hear plenty of stuff that came before them, and a lot that may or may not have been borrowed by bands that came after them. Stooges, no wave,
At The Drive-In, the Hives, etc. I'm not some diehard fan, but I can appreciate that they weren't beholden to a template. They sounded good and they liked to fuck with things. What's not to like? And, hell yeah, left leaning politics were the icing on the cake.
