There’s A Rottweiler In My Hallway

Towards the end of last summer Ryan Bennett (Megaheroes, Buttsimpson) and Daif Kent (Golden Axe) spent three or four days in Ryan’s bedroom recording themselves jamming on bass, drums and a waveform generator. They’ve just turned the recordings into a short EP called Shit Happens and Ryan has hand made a few copies to distribute to people “who might need to hear it.”

In Daif’s words,”For this album we crammed into Ryan’s bedroom, as it was in Howick at the time (he now lives in Wellington). It was tiny, and so hot that Ryan’s sticks kept flying out of his hands from all the sweat. Then there was always the threat of being eaten alive by the 5ft Rottweiler in the hallway. We jammed and when we had a riff and pattern or two we would make it into a song. It was super spontaneous.”

The result is very lo-fi, noisy and extremely abrasive. For the most part it is a distorted wall of sound, that very occasionally finds its way into a corrosive melody. If you don’t like noise music then don’t listen to this, but if you are a fan then you will hopefully love it.

Dorkwind is playing a show in Wellington on Saturday, August 29 at Happy. You can get a copy of the EP there, but if you are somewhere else in the world drop Daif a myspace message and he might just send you a copy.
