MUSIC: Throbbing Gristle is Going to Corrupt You

It’s been 25 years since the pornographic, diverse, experimental band Throbbing Gristle has come out with anything new. Two decades devoid of new material may sound rather bleak for most, but with Throbbing Gristle’s unique sound, they have maintained an electrifying appeal. Contemporaries of Suicide and Cabaret Voltaire, they've served as inspiration for bands like Sonic Youth, and their subversive cynicism and mischievous delivery has always charmed the new and old listener alike.

Originating from the performance art group COUM Transmissions (influenced primarily from DADA and Merry Pranksters), pushing their limit was a natural inclination that carried on through TG. There is no question that their performances and industrial antics generated a reaction--whether it was violent, confusing or arousing. Now you can personally experience Throbbing Gristle and all of their delightful corruption: Part Two-The Endless Not is out April 1, 2007 on Mute records; a 7 disc retrospective entitled TVG will be released through Industrial Records/ Mute; and screenings of one of the DVD retrospectives will premiere. in London, NYC, and San Francisco.

bah. no dates in LA.

Wow , I had a roommate who was obsessed with TG..He had every album and video they ever made..Pretty interesting stuff..Psychic TV is my fave but I'm sure new TG will be off the wall..Genesis changed into a female since they broke up..

as a proud owner of both the TG live cd sets (a total of 35 hours of live assault) i am so looking forward to the live dvd set...

semi-female...he's a dude with breasts ostensibly

yeah, his goal was to become a non-gender specific creature. his partner did the same by having similar surgeries to alter her body.
i'm so sad that i can't attend the San Francisco sreening of this, i'll just have to get the dvd next year. i love that their live performances were so completely random...i've seen stuff that i loved so much, and also stuff that was very stinky. it's nice when people keep you on your toes, doesn't happen so much anymore.

Hot on the heels of love....
