Jessica Rylan (Can't)
She has not been active in the scene for many years, but made long lasting impact on people who heard the releases or seen the gigs. It is safe to say, there was nothing like it before and nothing like it has not come since.
Documentary consists short glimpse to moment in time when the "new wave of American noise" was at is peak. Summer 2005 marked era when several artists had been touring intensively, countless releases emerging on countless labels. Global interests for the new American approach. No Fun Fest had just proven to capture this wild era of new types of noise activities into globally noticed festival. Prurient had made himself known all around the American noise world with intense live shows and Hospital store was about to get opened. Emil Beaulieau was at peak of his live noise, playing almost 100 shows in one year and without actual intent, his hiatus extended into retirement from noise activity already since 2006. In this era, American artists became something could be seen around Europe for the first time. Emil Beaulieau, Prurient and Jessica Rylan, all three were first time in two weeks UK tour.
This era was something formerly unseen, but also largely disappeared or changed its shape over the years. Now 20 years later, some of the material from the UK tour is made public first time. Even if artists have retired, landscape of noise has shifted greatly, it is interesting to see glimpses of history and hear the artists in moment when it was actually happening. It was originally not intended to be historical footage, but casual discussion about things going on at the tour. Brief 20 minutes piece is put together by Special Interests and consist only formerly unseen live & interview footage from 2005.
