Make some noise again at indie music, art fest

The new music of Bangkok isn’t heard from its radio stations, concert halls or nightclubs, but rather a growing number of venues and events dedicated to authentic expression.

Organized by an independent label and hosted in the garden of a museum, Noise Market is one such opportunity, which returns for a second outing next month.

With music from more than 30 widely different bands punctuated by art workshops and crafts, Noise Market 2 will be held from 3pm to midnight on May 10 and 11 in the outdoor amphitheatre at Museum Siam. This is what music sounds like when it’s made by humans not calculated by spreadsheets.

Some special guests are in the mix this time, such as Proud, who created that surreal track featured in “Only God Forgives,” and hipsters will be happy that “Mary is Happy, Mary is Happy” director and vocalist, Ter Nawapol and June Bear-Garden, will participate in a discussion Sunday.

Admission is free. Organizers encourage guests to come by bicycle or public transportation.
