I automatically have a soft spot in my heart for anyone who claims that their passion for music began when they bought their first Bikini Kill record, so there was no way I could dislike Berlin based musician Noisy Pig.
Noisy Pig is the sugar buzzed solo project from Bernardo Santarelli (formerly of no-wave band Dada Swing) that combines drums, glockenspeile, melodica, toys, samplers and whatever else that gets in his way to make kitschy catchy awesome weirdo pop music. Noisy Pig sounds kind of like if they dropped the "this is for kids" schtick on Yo Gabba Gabba, put on a LeTigre record backwards, and got down to some real acid-dropping, bunny suit wearing, dance party business. But you don't have to take my word for it.
Besides being a totally sweet musician, Noisy Pig also is a real somebody. Santarelli is the co-organizer/resident DJ of Poopsy Club (which has been called Berlin's funniest queer party!!), has performed at queer festivals all over Europe, and played shows with Erase Errata, Deerhoof, Dan Deacon and a bunch of other bands you've heard of!
In March, Disaster #1, the first full length record from Noisy Pig, came out on Cochon Records and features 12 songs and guest spots from the likes of Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile/Partyline) and Brezel Goering (Stereo Total/Echokrank). The record also has remixes of the hit "Magic Pee" from Hawnay Troof and Eats Tapes!
Noisy Pig was nice enough to send us over some jams for you to check out, but you should REALLY buy the record!
