Brief History : Stigof the Dump was first formed in 1998 by , (ehem) punks(!) in North West England. The name shortened to Stig after making a terrible name for ourselves over an 18month period which is pretty much blackout memory these days, but was based on a very slow hitchike to move to london for reasons i cannot remember, but got slowed by a year and a half stop over in Reading, berkshire.With London came a shortning of the name to Stig, 3 became 4 became 5 became quite a few more and we made a few years worth of recordings in difrerent places on tapes and minidiscs in friends studios and rehearsals and made compilations and distributed cdrs as Straightouttaclapton records with friends we met while living and enjoying the murder mile in hackney east london. wayyyyyyyy before it was cool, when it was still just plain fucked up andand also full of quite amazing people!. A guy releasedd an album that we spent 2 years making out of all the tiny recorded ideas fed into a tape machine and we kinda forgot about it all and everything moved aroun and upsidedown.. again... its actually almost imposible to remember anything much about these periods of time :) around 2005 we added Stig Noise and moved back upto Liverpool, by then we were begining to make alot more noisy music, so the word noise was added. trying to make a live show out of whatever the idea with the recordings had been became kinda a game, although the recordings were quite perfectly crafted little obbsessive things, live was mashhed up chaotic but fun situation until eventually we made our own sound system.. and so Stig Noise became Stig Noise Sound System ... around 2006 we were playing 2 different kinds of shows and all living all over the place with different people doing different random things so the line up changed alot between 4 and 10 members.. friends who played on the recording would sometimes play live, the point was for anyone that wanted to be involved, to be involved.... . In the 14 years there have been an aweful lot of people involved and 3 hefty line up changes. Allb oth huggeee and at the same time not so significant shifts in both musical aproach and monikor,and forway over 10 years have been producing ever-evolving, intense, DIY, noisy, folky, beaten-up-hook based experimental music, both, brutal(and/or) subtle in approach to delivering joyful and figgity energy in a live enviroment using large amounts of noise amoungst blatently traditional and structered methods of clearly childish songwriting. Arriving at this sound of guitars messed up with beats and then adding mutiple live drummers and brass with immense bass and then just showers and layers of toy casios and decks and feedback loops and tricks and squeeks and all these things messed up together is quite an overwhelming way to spend life so then at least the last 5 or so years trying to make sense and best use of this sound and travel as far as possible finding different situations and places with it to see if anyone gives a shit. :) Stig Noise have shared life with thousands of incredible musicmakers and people in general involved in diy music, creative minds and otherly thinking, we have been lucky enough to play hundreds and hundreds of shows in countries all of over Europe for the last few years and its been a pure privlage ....

This was 2011 In Dec we returned to Liverpool after finishing a 2month tour in Europe, playing the first 2 weeks of shows in October with our pals from Glasgow and future super grunge - fuck wave step makers * Divorce * ! After they went home we carried on through France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany until Dec 2012.... hooked up with pals along the way included PHULLOPIUM DUDE who opened up our show for abarrt a month... it was amazing... cant thank the hundreds of people we met and all who made the whole trip such an immense privilege . loads of documentation and pwarrr shout outs on its way.... 2011 as it was, would not have been possible without the amazing work of our DIY friends - POSTMUSIC (UK), Kirmes & EINE WELT AUS HACK (DE/CZ/+), Alice @ LE BUREAU DETTONANT (FR), Antonio & CDP @ HUMAN FEATHER (IT/ES), Marcello & Valerio @ NEGATIVland (IT), Alain @ SOME NOISE (BE), FEEEDBACK(W) muchos muchos. No we are never gonna dance again.. the way we did with...you get the idea x stig noise.

Amazing place! check it and help them if you ever see them asking for it. We carried on writing and rehearsing aswell as maintaining DDTD, putting on shows etc until May we were invited out of hibination to play an all day Fiesta for Obscenic, a group of active film makers and promoters who put together anwhole night and day of music in Wolstenholme Creative space.

| Stig Noise (aka Stig, Stig Noise Sound System, Stig Of The Dump) has been an active creative musical outlet since around 1998. Managing to exist without plan other than to not to knowingly follow in the footsteps of majority, either musically or commercially, and to create something noisey, joyful and genuine. Furthered through discovering original teachings in movements like D.i.y, No Wave Hip Hop and Jazz mixed with continued addiction to and exploration of all things curious, intense and instinctive. None of this would be possible without a handful of amazing human beings that help make it possible for us to exist, tour and make records. Musically Stig Noise is ongoing analysis on the idea of hooks and motervational sound. Our recordings are ways to explore audio engineering skills and ideas. sharing these recordings is based on a curiosity in the wildly evolving current methods of communication ... we live in messed up times... but it is fucking wonderful and we are fortunate to do these things... Pressing these recordings into tiny little consumable hand made packages and exchange them for money, it is with genuine pride in our work and inorder to purchase fuel, transport and maintain equipment whenever it is possible for us to go on tour. we are inventive, friendly and diy people. jacobia stig. jan 2010. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <--(((o)))--><--(((o)))--><--(((o)))--><--(((o)))--> Alot of our artwork in recent years we screenprint based on designs by a super dear friend of ours called sean wars.

| All our recordings to date are available through us and released through, our own Liverpool DIY labels Class A Audio. and Post Music. They can be ordered at the bottom of this page through us-> as well as many other internet sites and diy disto sources. some related records, Cd's and some Tshirt designs we hand screenprint are also now available aswell as selected record shops around the UK. Existing Recordings: In 1998 a 3 track tape was made with Bill Leach called ' We grow our beards long...' a fuzzy photograph of some local Reading tramps was endlessly photocopied and the name Stig Of The Dump was decided as a good band name..... Between 2000 - 2004 we distrobuted many tapes / cdr's of different demo recordings through Hackney, East London based collective, StraightOuttaClapton. Our first CD release was 'Pissed As Art' ep on Loose Records in 2004, a community label based in Runcorn, Northwest UK. Followed by, In 2006 , an album made up of odds and ends of recordings made over a veeerrryyy longtime 'Rum & Brass' on London label Rebel Music in UK, and Germany/Japan distrobuted by Forte. During 2006 we got into using more brutal and super fast proggrammed beats and hooked up with Wrong Music in Brighton, a now legendary label who spawned an entire movement or ridiculasly messed up music. We got totally insired and blown away by some of their people, and we were included on their 'Etc' release early 2007. In April 2007 we grew Class A Audio into a label from the clubnights we had been running in Liverpool since 2005 and released our first 12" 'Loud More Yes' featuring: Filastine, Kling Klang, Shitmat, Soeza, Jason Forest, Scotch Egg, a.P.A.t.T., Germlin, Suitable Case For Treatment alongside our track 'Bass Bins Pour 4am' from a session of recordings with our first real life drummer in 10 years. Our first 12" vinyl came out in spring 2008 called 'Wonk Step' Ep. It is a split release with our pals a.P.A.t.T. and its an awesome Limited edition 12"/CD/download combo special :). Our second split release came in 2010 with some more pals, Barberos, during this time we occupyed an old 1930's derelict cinema ( see www.postmusiccinemasessions.co.uk ) where we built a studio and recorded both Stig Noise and Barberos sessions during2009. Our Upcoming 3rd vinyl/CD/DL release is coming out in October 2011, these are sessions we recorded in March 2011 in our creative space - Dont Drop The Dumbells (www.DontDropTheDumbells.co.uk ) |
