Panasonic Youth

From The Secret History of the Cedar Valley

Bwang!, of which the original concept had been (unbeknownst to participants) similar to that of The Glorious Sloshbuckets, later came to be a sort of catch-all project for meandering jams found on unleabeled tapes and other such effluvia that didn't fit into any other particular Ragman Records band. In a similar fashion, Panasonic Youth began as a noisy 90-minute feedback jam by Chuck Hoffman, Steve Wilson, and Joe Riehle and ended up being a similar catch-all bin, but oriented more towards material that was less explicitly guitar-oriented, and more likely to feature electronics, effects, found-audio and found-text.
