DOUBLE TROUBLE HOLIDAY Thursday June 30, 2016 at Flywheel in Easthampton, MA. The Western Mass International Noise Conference convenes with Rat and the Laundryroom Squelchers.  Bromp Treb is ripping a duo set with the freaky and nimble Loweller Stephanie Germaine. This show is always a joy - sets will be short and there will be lots of acts.  Friday July 1, 2016 at Jaume I 170 Main St. Greenfield, MA Bromp Treb + Offal (BTO) is playing our second show. It’s a crazy lineup with F/I/P (Bill Nace + Jake Meginsky), and Bucket T (Thurston Moore, Willie Lane, + Conrad Capistran). That’s a lotta parenthesis, here’s more info.  I must say, Offal is ON FIRE these days.  Many thanks to Samuel Hadge for catching-and-releasing my wriggling set in the video above from the Dollhaus Dollfest earlier this month. I think I’m gettin the hang of this 2 devices and a microphone thing. Uh, I still have a new record out. It’s still new. I guess I should go on tour or something to promote it. If anyone wants me to come play somewhere, get in touch! Find me. 

Feel free to share the above promomercial around to all of your friends on the continent. Video was compiled from sessions last week during my residency at Signal Culture. Huge thanks to the gang there for their generosity and multimedia visionary wildness. Too many synapses are firing to adequately summarize my time there. More on that later. Lookout for fresh product is sprouting this spring: 1″ Bromp Treb buttons, another tape on Yeay! Plastics called “Short Term Success”, as well as a 60 minute mixtape “The Last Functioning Audio Cassette Left on the Planet” on the Körper / Leib imprint out of Naples. Still not sure if I’ll be lugging any advance copies of the “Concession Themes” LP from Feeding Tube around Europe, but it is slated for a mid-May release. There will be another post just for that, when it’s ready, but I’m too excited.  SEE YOUSE THERE! 

Sprouting Alert! BROMP TREB is playing a show this SUNDAY MARCH 6, 2016 from 8pm - 11:30pm at SMOG, the preeminent campus rumpus room at BARD COLLEGE. with TOUPEE and PALBERTA! https://www.facebook.com/events/1024352050934322/ Dreams really can come true. Speaking of dreams, BROMP TREB’s first LPs are nearing their drop-dates: CONCESSION THEMES on Feeding Tube and NONFOOD BESPOKE INNOVATION (a reissue of the limited edition tape of the same name from 2014) on Weird Ear. Also be on the lookout for a to-be-titled new tape on the Italian Korper/Leib imprint.  April will be bananas and for this coalescence of opportunities, I am extremely grateful and lucky. First, I will be locked away for some deep-tweaking at Signal Culture in the wilds of upstate NY. Soon thereafter BROMP TREB is off to Europe for a two week solo tour, going to many places I’ve never been as well as revisiting many old friends who have helped out Fat Worm of Error in the past. Details and dates will be spilling out soon!
