Fat Worm of Error is an Experimental/Noise/conceptual art avant garde rock band from Northampton, Massachusetts. They are seen as staples of the underground noise and improvisation scene and helped to start what is known as a regional form of noise music called Western Mass Noise Scene. They have been associated with the New Weird America genre. They utilize traditional rock instruments as well as homemade electronics and other modified instruments. In their live performances, the singer engages in homemade pageantry with homemade surrealist costumes. The band has toured Europe and North America.
In 2009, Fat Worm of Error took up residency in Rotterdam, Netherlands at the independent record label and art collective, De Player, where they produced an opera called Poor Sap. The entire set for the opera was handmade by the members during their residency. During their residency, they also produced 50 handmade 8" lathe-cut records of a piece from the opera as a part of the De Player 8" series. In 2010, at the request of Northwestern University, Fat Worm of Error created a soundtrack to 17 Arthur Ganson Machines, which they performed at the Sonic Celluloid festival. The soundtrack was self-released in the later part of 2010. They were named #90 on Tiny Mix Tape's list of top 100 bands of 2000-2009.
