Heavy Petting (electronic group) live on WZRD

Heavy Petting Live on WZRD at archive.org (as yet unknown date)

This recording is the live studio performance and interview of Chicago electronic group, Heavy Petting. This performance is one of their best ever recorded, catching them at their peak amidst dozens of other scheduled gigs.

Death Factory, Mike Krause live on WZRD

Mike Krause was involved with WZRD for more than 10 years, doing 4 hour long DJ slots with a varying schedule. He was also instrumental in the production of WZRD's long standing live Thursday Nights, and to my understanding, still does from time to time. He can be found playing various thrash, industrial, noise, and other records at any number of small clubs or performance spaces on a sporadic basis.

Mike has been a great help with this blog, and has been in the Chicago noise scene, as a member of Sexual Freedom/Gays in The Military, Dummy Antenna, Flophouse, and Pommel. He also shared some history out of his vast collection of obscure items, about early Chicago noise acts or "sound collage ensembles" on WNUR and WLUW.

Here is a live performance by him under the moniker "Death Factory" which he has been running with since 1988. He sites inspiration as partly from the WZRD "Void Watches" he heard as a youth. Death Factory has shared bills with Bloodyminded, Panicsville, Ghost Ice, Locrian, Lozenge, and Intrinsic Action, among others.
