Keeping up with their prolific output has been a daunting task, but also a rewarding one, as Actuary’s epic-length blasts of abstract electronic chaos, extreme psychedelic circuit-fuckery and monstrous synth abuse consistently deliver serious sonic skull-melt. Ugly, beautiful, and bleak. Theres no hope.

Eddie Honeyeater is a guitarist from Sacramento who does not care to talk about himself. He primarily uses an electric guitar and an amplifier to make sounds. Sometimes he will use other devices.

Also, he believes music is only for your ears, on account of the fact that you can't hear music with your eyes. Some people seem to think one's appearance affects the quality of one's music. Eddie disagrees with this wholeheartedly. Eddie Honeyeater does not come from a typical legendary underground music scene. Given these circumstances, it is a mystery as to why he continues to create music.

THIRTEEN HURTS (florence,OR)
Thirteen Hurts is an experimental noise project that utilizes modified guitar pedals, handmade sound source devices and synthesizers to create an ever-evolving harsh noise soundscape.

Years of performing and recording within the Rock and Progressive genres, it was not until 1999 and the formation of subcutaneous studios that the first full recording of experimental music took place, with exclusive usage of a Serge Modular. The following years led to soundtrack work for two independent films but was soon followed by years of dormancy which eventually led to the development of the Thirteen Hurts/13Hz concept and new recordings with live performances. Heavily influenced by decades of intense music and sounds, the live shows focus on a wide-ranging performance giving the audience an extensive sampling of what the sound of Thirteen Hurts represents. This will be the 6th appearance of Thirteen Hurts at the Norcal Noisefest.
