What went before....  

Posted by 9/10ths Full of Penguins in ,

Welcome to the all new theatreofnoise.co.uk. The freshly carved out internet lair of the Refresh FM show the Theatre of Noise.Lee & Eyan in executive planning mode.

The Theatre of Noise spawned as a one-off show in 2003's Refresh FM broadcast. It has since spread its tendrils to overwhelm Refresh's post watershed schedule. Its grotesque mix of alternative music, geeky banter and petty destruction has entertained and enraged in equal measures.











On the left you see a guest pelting Eyan with a stale hot cross bun as part of our tenuously Easter themed violent memory game - The ADVENTURE game. Above is Fil the Destroyer poised to permanently despatch the losing CDs following the Chainsaw Challenge.


Come back for more images of 2008's shenanigans over the next week or so....
