Blue Sausage Infant

About Me



BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT lives somewhere in the ooze between noise and psychedelia, using a mixture of electronics, found objects, and conventional instruments. The result stumbles between delicate ambience, krautrock-flavored trance music, drones, and harsh brutalism: Noise with a groove and a dash of paranoid escapism.

BSI has performed and recorded since 1988, including collaborations with Lida Husik, Haunted Toilet, New Carrollton, Delta of Venus, Changes to Blind, and Stolen Government Binder Clip. In 2008, BSI began a fresh attack on live performances in the DC area, promising an unpredictable, hallucinatory stew of sounds for the brave and confused.
