We Never Sleep

When we stayed in Boulder at Joel Haertling's place in 1986 I got a call from Paul Dickerson of We Never Sleep that if we have a day off we can play in Denver. "Come down and check out the space you wanna play and what equipment you'll need" Paul said and we went down, met him and his friends and a longtime relationship started. Human Head Transplant opened up, we got app. 15 TV sets from Tom Headbanger to build a video installation (see pic. in the slideshow) and a great crowd showed up. In 1988 I stayed again more than a week in Denver and played a show as Josef K. Noyce. With Monochrome Bleu I returned in 1989 and 1992. Monochrome Bleu released music on cassette (Insomnia Vol. I) and CD's at We Never Sleep. Then and when friends from Denver showed up in my house in Linz, Austria. (Wolfgang Dorninger)
