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. You can also grab some LIKE WEEDS and FACIALMESS download codes, and see rare footage of him performing in Tokyo back in the day, and at the massive AMPLIFIED HUMANS festival in Dayton, OH in 2016: https://www.patreon.com/whitecentipedenoise
