Blind Idiot God drummer, Tim Wyskida, who also sits behind the kit for Khanate, will do an on-air interview with Kamikaze Diane on WFMU Thursday, March 5th starting at 1:00 pm. “I’ll play four or five tracks from the new record” Wyskida explains, “and four or five tracks by artist who’ve influenced me and who also influenced BIG members throughout the years.”
As previously announced, Blind Idiot God will be releasing their double vinyl LP Before Ever After on February 24, 2015 via Indivisible Music. The record was co-produced by Bill Laswell (Herbie Hancock’s Future Shock, PiL, Motörhead, Ramones, Iggy Pop). The band will celebrate the album with a live performance at The Paper Box in Brooklyn.

Gnawing away (sorry) at the outer limits of music and misery since 2006, New York’s Gnaw have no respect for music whatsoever. Judging by this sweaty, fulminating mass of a record, the way they see it is that music should be utterly destroyed, the last breath of every tone, timbre, and texture ever plucked from a guitar string, smacked out of a drum kit, tickled from the ivories, and squeezed out of any electronic noise-producing box should be smashed to fucking bits and expression in its purest form should be its only purpose. And so with album number two, Horrible Chamber (Conspiracy Records), “music” continues to die countless deaths.
