FLESH NARC
The often-vexing music of Flesh Narc has irreparably stained the North Texas area since their birth in 2013. Flesh Narc’s erratic noise behavior has resulted in numerous cassettes and a few CDs that range from chemical irritant-grade post-punk to sprawling, confused noise voyages. At the front and center is Matt Burgess, whose vastly prolific synth-pop detritus project Cig Oasis gives even Bob Pollard a run for his money in the hit-per-album department. Burgess is also a founding member of the veteran dance-punk band Eat Avery’s Bones, one of North Texas’s best kept secrets of the past 15 years. Completing the core lineup of Flesh Narc are Rick Eye and Reece McLean, both formerly of Bukkake Moms and currently of any number of active Denton “no wave” bands. Late 2018 brought the addition of drummers Chris Holmes and Chase Gardner with whom the band toured with on their coast to coast tour last October. Gardner also performs on synths and electronics with the core group for their more noise-aligned sets. Since their last public performance in Austin on KVRX, the group is laying low prepping multiple studio albums and various other releases.
