MIRACLE ROOM

Miracle Room was an industrial/noise/psychedelic/experimental rock band which formed in Austin, TX in 1986 and became notorious in the underground scene centered around clubs like The Cave and The Beach, sharing stages with The Butthole Surfers, Scratch Acid, Nice Strong Arm, and Snakefinger. Their “Piano Deconstruction” performance for the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 was legendary, as was their show at The Cave featuring bales of newspaper hurled into the audience and then shredded and flung everywhere.

With no prospects for a record locally (Trance Syndicate wasn’t invented yet), the band moved to New York City in 1988 and became part of the Knitting Factory experimental scene , releasing a self-titled EP on Bar/None Records and touring Europe in 1990 as part of the first Knitting Factory tour, opening for Sonny Sharrock Group. They also had a song included on the first Live At The Knitting Factory compilation on A & M Records.
