A cyclotron built to study the science and execution of noise, No Fun Fest enters its fifth year with a move from Brooklyn to the Knitting Factory — but there's no dip in the festival's intensity. Plucking 50 acts from the front lines of the contemporary avant-garde, producer Carlos Giffoni continues to do the unthinkable: make three days of often-unlistenable noise a destination for hundreds of faithful fans from all over the world. This year's biggest draw is the long-awaited reunion of Cluster, the astrally inclined Krautrock outfit that features Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, alongside acts like Religious Knives, Thurston Moore, Tony Conrad, and Hair Police.
