PDX NoiseFest 2005

About

The second annual PDX Noisefest was held at Reed College in Portland, OR on April 1st and 2nd, 2005. Nearly 20 acts from across the globe gathered in the Student Union to blast their noise and do their thing. While most acts were from the Cascadia (west-coast) region, there was also representation from the east coast of the US and from Japan.

I was there both nights with my camera to take pictures. I met somebody at the show who recorded most of the acts onto minidisc, and I later got copies of these recordings from them on CD.

These were recorded on a 2005 handheld point-and-shoot camera in near darkness, so please understand that the quality is definitely lacking. They were originally .avi, but have been converted to .webm for easy playing on the web.
