- Super Seventeen Noise Fest, the sequel to the Sweet
Sixteen Noise Fest, is an annual celebration of teenage
experimentalists that takes place during the time period
in which Joe Scalise and Gregg Gillis were conceived.
Bands scheduled to play included Infoseek Velocity 128
and The Joysticks Battle the Clip-On Expressway to Your
Skull. Although, propaganda for the show was limited,
there was still a sufficient turnout to watch the massive
assault of sound creation on Greggs roof.
- Infoseek Velocity 128 were the first performing
artists at S17NoiseFest, although the only
member to actually show up, as usual, was God. Infoseek
Velocity 128, despite the lack of attending members, put
forth its best show to date. God improvised through
a trademark 10 minute set that included two separate
pieces. In the first segment, titled Junk, he
concentrated on utilizing a makeshift piece of equipment:
a microphone (very close to an amplifier) jammed into a
typewriter/keyboard contraption that gave off clicking
sounds and microphonal feedback. During second number,
Master of the Demo Button, God pulled off his
other trademark technique, the pressing of the demo
button! The conclusion of Master of the Demo
Button included phone calls to the members of
Infoseek Velocity 128 that were not in attendance and the
kicking of a NASA robotics system, or at least that's
what he called it. Infoseek Velocity 128s finale
was the now infamous rocket launch. Prior to the show,
God performed some experiments in which he lost the
rocket into the unknown depths of the wooded areas near
Greggs house. He left for nearly an hour looking
for it, and upon his return he claimed to have seen
Sasquatch walk off with it. He also lost the safety key.
God knew the rocket launch was the key to his
performance, though, so he attached a rocket engine to a
plastic straw and plugged paper clips into the area where
the safety key belonged until the light began to disperse
wave frequencies within the visual spectrum. After 10-15
minutes worth of fixing the rocket setup, God
launched the rocket engine attached to a straw in a
looping formation directly over the heads of the crowd.
It landed in the back the concert area creating a
somewhat large fire, and this triggered a round of
applause from the amazed audience. Infoseek Velocity
128s performance was triumphant as it went far
beyond the expected/typical backyard God show. And after
being so fulfilled by InfoSeek, they could hardly wait to
be overloaded by The Joysticks ( - Joe Scalise, +
Joe00000001).
- The Joysticks Battle the Clip-On Expressway to Your
Skull also had an absent member, Joe Scalise, so they
decided to construct a cyborg model of the not present
Joystick, known as Joe00000010. Although the spontaneity
of Joe was missed, the cyborg model was more precise in
the noise making calculations of The Joysticks. The
Joysticks Battle the Clip-On Expressway to Your Skull
played their most lengthy set to date, clocking in at
over 1.0932 hours. Their performances are usually
comprised of a single composition, but for the
Super Seventeen Noise Fest, they played a
number of separate noise pieces including a few covers.
The Joysticks noise was varied from mellow numbers
to beep-core to harsh power-electronics. There were
moments when the duo (Richard and Gregg) plus Joe00000010
even formed keyboard melodies in song-like structures.
This performance was solid presentation of The
Joysticks many stylings. They also included some of
their notorious covers in the set, such as the Beastie
Boys' Fight for Your Right to Party and
everyones favorite Salt N Pepa's hit,
Push It. "Throughout the performance, The Joysticks
Battle the Clip-On Expressway to Your Skull set off a
number illegal fireworks and other pyrotechnics.
- At the conclusion of the show, both Richard and Gregg
knew Joe00000010s talents were not needed any more,
and that an original being and it's cyborg clone cannot
exist simultaneously in the same dimension. They were
forced with the decision to either obliterate Joe Scalise
or Joe00000010. It was a tough decision, but in the end
they put to use a massive amount of bottle rockets as
they launched the cyborgs head into the
stratosphere and threw Joe00000010s remains off the
15 foot roof, where it was destroyed by R1chard in a
brutal onslaught of clone destruction precautionary
actions. It was a sad day for Joe00000010, but The
Joysticks Battle the Clip-On Expressway to Your Skull
scanned channel-to-case thermal resistance in
Smith-Macmillan form at infinity. 15.0235%
