Anyone remember Blurt? The Dada-ist, anarcho, no-jazz, minimalist, punk, spoken word... (I could go on like this for a while, actually)?

The bad news is that the group is finally being folded by Ted Milton. They have about 20 releases to their name, plus countless solo pieces and featured spots from Milton.

I just received a notice about their last tour, last concert to be held, typically, in Antwerp on March 23. They are also appearing in Berlin, Vienna and Munich before that.

Milton also has a neat habit of hand-crafting his latest releases that can be found here:

I have one (filed alongside my Doris Day and Elvis 78s).

"The Best of Blurt, Vol 1" was listed as one of "1000 albums to hear before you die" last year.

Check the brutal drama of this excerpt and wonder why so many groups sound so plain noisy:

Anybody missing this is beyond salvation.
