Excerpts
“When we play, it is more like a live sound laboratory, rather than a concert. But we have examples like Chris Carter, our electronic whiz kid and I amplifying very high frequencies in our studio and all the objects in the room started moving and then we started to see criss-cross patterns in the air and he got tunnel vision and our clothes were moving, although there was no actual wind.”
Genesis P. Orridge, Throbbing Gristle, page 11
“Dressed in low riding black leather pants and pointy-toed boots, with a mop of dark hair that partially hid his face, he stalked the stage area, growling and shouting out whatever song the band arranged.”
The Cramps concert report, page 18
“Singer Peter Murphy screams the title phrase like some insane headline-mantra is wracking his brain and he exorcises the demon to our delight and amazement.”
