Zebra Pulse is made up of Owen Strasky, Parker Thiessen, and Dave Schaefer. Together they touch their machines in weird places and make music that sounds like your record collection falling down the stairs as your life flashes before your eyes. You wont believe your ears, your ears will trick your eyes, you’ll taste your smell, and smell your hearing, it tastes like blood, and you bleed zebra pulse.

February RDP Recordings!!

3 Mar

A subtle nice of rip-roaring, floor-sitting noise terror, this month’s ramshackle parade was complete with funky video loops of justin beiber getting shot repeatedly, a vintage restored film with a live created soundtrack and a seriously sick bird tweet distortion jam! the crowd was a bit smaller, perhaps due to the cold, but their enjoyment was as awesome as ever! VIVA NOISE!

January Ramshackle Day Parade Recordings **Open Mic/Input Edition**

1 Mar

another noxiously nasty night of nifty noise, twas the parade! with a special open mic/input lineup we were lucky to catch a sundry cast of scallawags, feeding back microphones, flailing with guitars, smashing drum sequencers, modern interpretive dancing, using DOS based text sequencers and more! it was seriously sick and we loved every debauched minute of it! – The Bohemia
