Kenny Sanderson of FACIALMESS / LIKE WEEDS

Kenny Sanderson is a legend of Japanese noise. Originally from the UK, he has been living in Tokyo for over 20 years and been a central force in the city's fanatical scene, originally as a member of the noise grind unit NIKUDOREI, then with his spastic cut-up harsh noise project FACIALMESS, and now active with his industrial noise project LIKE WEEDS. In this episode, we have a lively chat about his earliest days in the Tokyo scene, up through his current activities. Listen to his work and support him at https://likeweedsnoise.bandcamp.com/On Pateon, you can see the extended segments of the interview where he talks about his gear setup, gives info for foreign artists playing Japan, and gives his top 5 noise releases of all time.
