notes
137 Niagara could be called the house that rock built, not only because the three members of Off the International Radar who lived there filled its nooks and crannies with droney space rock and projected weirdly lit images onto the sweat soaked basement walls during crammed house parties, but also because on moving day after they removed the final piece of musical equipment from the basement, the entire back wall collapsed... apparently the Farfisa Organ was load-bearing.
More accurately it could be described as the house that 'Krautrock' built as the sounds heard from the rickety structure resembled a modern yet organic mix of *Neu*, *Harmonia*, and *Cluster*, tinged with the electronic shoegaze of bands like *Seefeel*.
Since moving day, every venue they play becomes very much like those house parties, complete with back-lit video projections and trance-inducing rhythms... only now hopefully with sturdier walls.
