Both P-Orridge and Tutti are members of the highly-influential art damage music group Throbbing Gristle, who have just begun their first United States tour since 1981.

<beavis>heh heh heh, the RSS feed link for this entry contains a naughty word</beavis>

I had the extreme luck of being offered a free ticket to last night's Throbbing Gristle show in Brooklyn. Completely MIND BLOWING show. Genesis is a genius.

haha, so it does #2, well spotted!

They're playing Coachella this weekend, and doing a date in LA around that!

I didn't know they're playing Coachella, but I'll be there with bells on. Hopefully we'll hear a "Hamburger Lady" / "Subhuman" medley at mind-blowing volume.

Wanted to let people know that Genesis contributed to the forthcoming book, "Love Sex Fear Death: The Inside Story of The Process Church of the Final Judgment" by Timothy Wyllie. This book has gestated for many years and is finally going to the printer next week.

Feral House is also publishing a revamped "Thee Psychick Bible" by Genesis, coming this summer.

Well, if this is from 1972, I think he actually has "coum" on his pants.

"hamburger laaaaady!"

The show at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple was stunningly amazing.
So much so that I will be seeing them in LA on the 21st.

GENIUS.

Really looking forward to the Los Angeles show, myself. TG live is something I never thought I'd get to witness. Can't wait.

Glad to hear about the Timothy Wylie / Father Mica book. I like Tim !
