Bare Noise is what we make. O and our one and only fan Henry decided to make up the term 'bare noise', being the wigger that he is.

We're not a particularly special duo.

The Blads have been in existence in various guises for some time. Everything started about a year ago with the 'blue toast' sessions. Thom and Psam would meet up, eat various coloured food products and make experimental music with very restricive software until 5 in the morning. These sessions were the birth of the blads and, after several member changes and musical style-shifting, we are back to our original members and the original sound (though we can get the loops in time now. Damned Magix).

We are fans of the avant-garde and forward-thinking, but we take influences from anywhere and everywhere.

I popped my favourite about a week ago.

Behringer Eurorack, Ableton Live, Roland SH101, Micro Korg, Midi controller keyboards, Bongoes, Zildjian cymbals {including a wee 5 incher}[laugh here if you are immature], Clarinet, Cello, Fender Strat, Roland sound module, Creative Audigy Sound blaster pro/E-mu sound card, Yamaha Stage Custom Drum Kit, Cowbell, Vibraslap, Shakey eggs, Korg Toneworks effects unit, Digitech RP200, loadsa VSTs - guitar rig, albin, S5000, Limelight Solo, Novation Bass station and most importantly the DELAY LLAMA.

despite our trying to make our music ridiculously pretentious and avante-garde, it still seems to be popular among middle-aged, middle-class sub-urbanites and various wigger hip-hop heads from our school, so don't knock us 'till you've tried us 'cos we're not that inaccesible.
