Porest

An arguably safe space for Porest music and sound. porest.bandcamp.com

A new podcast episode—an interview with Mark Gergis (@_Porest_)—is now available. He takes us from Oakland in the '80s to Syria and Iraq in the 2000s to London in 2023, with much else in between. @SublimeFreq @Headpress whocaresanywaysf.wordpress.com/2024/01/04/wca…

They said it couldn't be done, but tonight's show couldn't have been more successful. Thx to everyone involved, the audience & Peter Conheim @ H1-Dreamseer for an evening that has permanently changed the world. More to follow... #Kissinger #porest rb.gy/oz9hxx

@BodegaPop Featuring equally heavy Erkin-painted front cover.

Thrilled to finally have this (Erkin Koray, Meçhul: Singles & Rarities, Sublime Frequencies, 2011, 2023 repress). Ridiculously heavy tracks even for Turkish psychedelic. A poet I once knew made a snide comment about "the kind of people who listen to Turkish psych." Bitch, please

November 30, 2023- Henry Kissinger is no longer alive

@SharifSehnaoui children’s art has been particularly traumatizing for years…. here’s a gem we witnessed just before we left Oakland

This is mind-blowing! Zionist patients felt “vulnerable and victimized” by artworks done by kids!!! Depravity knows no bound Shame on humanity. #IsraelHorrorShow

The only Porest appearance of 2023 will occur in London this Saturday, the 28th of October as a small part of Vicki Bennett’s epic 3-day residency extravaganza at Cafe OTO. See you there! Tickets available at Café OTO cafeoto.co.uk/events/people-…

Now on Bandcamp: Porest (1976-77) - Featuring tapes by a 6 & 7 yr-old Porest. Rudimentary radio dramas, sound fx, pause-button radio & TV edits, original numbers & several spirited attempts at 20th c. musical favorites, manually pumped on a player piano. porest.bandcamp.com/album/porest-1…

It's basically the same Porest you have always known, but better, and worse.

This Sunday we present a special fundraiser event for Turkey and Syria following the devastating impact of the recent earthquakes there. Syrian Cassette Archives (DJ) + Vincent moon (live cinema special) + Lara Baksu / Paul Cheneour (duo) cafeoto.co.uk/events/fundrai…

The tapes currently on display represent an astonishing cross-section of the country’s musical tradition p4k.in/bMIGr3q

Now up @ Bandcamp - Porest’s full-length digital hot mess, "Mood Noose". Originally out on @resipiscent as a CD in 2005, the album recently asked if it could be made available in a less tactile digital format. Today, its wish has been granted. porest.bandcamp.com/album/mood-noo…
