Party Sound Tapes

Run by Brad Laner & Mike Fey. After an early childhood filled with private tape recorder and feedback experiments, in 1981 Laner formed both his free-improv noise collage ensemble Debt of Nature and synth-punk band Earth Dies Burning, releasing many now nearly impossible to find cassettes on the Party Sound Tapes label he ran with Mike Fey including music from legendary synth punk band Nervous Gender, with whom he occasionally played live. In the early 80s Laner also witnessed and was scarred for life by seeing amongst many others,Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Non,The Residents, Einsturzende Neubauten and brought the notorious Whitehouse to Los Angeles for their first performances there.
