he doesnt play live. his girlfriend does. he just jumps around shouting into a mic.
guy is hilarious. love him. not exactly my kind of techno, but he wins massive style and humor points from me.
his remix of horrormone on tresor is probs my fave hororrist tune, or 99.9 with john selway
It's toe tappingly tragic

Flesh is the fever. Class A.
Let me take you into the future!
Deep into a different time.
Let me grip onto your face...
and bring you to this new place.
Super-social amphetamine.
The queer tune of control.
The panic disorder gripping...
the entire race has a whole.
Flesh is the fever of force...
and its the sound without remorse.
Rampant is the army of disease...
that brings you to your knees!
You cant believe everything you hear.
You cant believe everything you see.
The conspiracys ever growing...
and all you can believe in is me!
These are the things, the things to come.
These are the things, the things to come.
Bás Ar An Impireacht
Can anyone else hear the distinctive sound of Keats endlessly rotating in his grave.....?
DIRE !
When it comes to the horrorist, I've never "got it"
Having said that, without him there'd be no "one night in hackney" and no mention of "progressive electro house synthesis, mate" so I guess that (in a most tenuous manner) vindicates a certain aspect of his career. Probably.
I whip on horses at the rock jam sessions. I'm a rockstar.
I can pretty much sign on with that. Though, I love the old Temper Tantrum stuff, the Disintegrator stuff, Koenig Cylinders, etc. While I found some of the Horrorist stuff hilariously tongue in cheek (see the lyrics for Mission Ecstacy), I've always preferred the harder hitting stuff he's worked on with less vocals. And every now and then I hear something from him that reminds me of that old Temper Tantrum stuff. I wish he hadn't left NYC.
A person belonging to one or more Order is just as likely to carry a flag of the counter-establishment as the flag of the establishment, just as long as it is a flag. --P.D.
fun as hell
So. Behind their eyes the hope in them was sickening, and in many, dead. They lived from event to event with a subtle terror of the gap between, filling up their lives with distractions to avoid the emptiness where curiosity should have been, and breathing a gasp of relief when the children passed the point of asking questions about what life was for.
you can also check out his blog @ http://www.wiretotheear.com/
its pretty good stuff usually
the ep he did with landstrumm kicks ass.
dj skinhead stuff is also nice
nabrekla su tehno muda
probably one of the best live performances i've ever seen, much more entertaining than watching someone click a mouse behind a laptop. his tracks contain vocals which he performs live therefore much more LIVE than most other techno 'live' PAs that you're likely to see.
the last set of his i saw was at the electrowerkz in october and he covered everything from ebm to techno to gabber to classic IS speedcore at the end, simply superb
I thought his live set was totally guff tbh. If i wanted to see someone prance about on stage i would go and see britney spears - at least she dances too. No fluidity to his sets or anything! His choons are ok but not my favourites, too.
got some temper tantrum videos on terrordrome 9 cd, crazy stuff
