The Revolting Cocks [ tickets ]’ new album, “Sex-O Olympic-O,” is set to be released Oct. 14 on 13th Planet Records, the label founded by Ministry/RevCo driving force Al Jourgensen.
Jourgensen, who produced the new disc, had planned for the album to be RevCo’s swan song. However, vocalist Josh Bradford said in a statement that the quality of the material inspired Jourgensen to slightly change plans.
“I am leaving after this album, and I’m turning it over to a younger generation of RevCos–much like Menudo does or Blue Man Group,” Jourgensen said in a statement. “It started in 1983–with me, Luc Van Acker and Richard 23 from Front 242,” he said. “There were three of us, and now, I’ve found these other three young knuckleheads who I think capture the true essence and spirit of being ‘a Revolting Cock,’ if you will.”
Jourgensen’s vision for RevCo has one condition: in five years, the three current band members, Bradford, Sin Quirin/guitars, and Clayton Worbeck/keyboards, must turn the band over to three other new guys. “They have to find the right people to carry on the tradition–which is a lot of keg parties, beer chugging, throwing up, sexual abnormalities,” Jourgensen said.
Details of an upcoming Revolting Cocks fall tour to support “Sex-O Olympic-O” are soon to be announced.
It too bad the press is starting already. Means we have 3 months of Blue Man Group, Menudo, Best Disk Ever, 3 new guys in 5 years, etc quotes to look forward to.
So my understanding is actually giving Josh, Clayton, and Sin the rights to the RevCo name with the understanding that they hand it over in a few years.
So wouldn’t it be a kick if they gave it to Paul, Chris, and Bill? Not that they’d take it, but it sure would be funny.
i fully approve that we’re still on the big head jokes.as far as anyone can tell, the name revolting cocks has probably never been trademarked(hillbillies don’t thank 'bout shit like that).
i have a friend in LA who researches this stuff for a living. so haley joe and the rest of the AI crew can maybe run with it!
If the rare occurance of this album being a “hit” occures, I have no doubt senor balloon head will fully insert himself (heavily) into the next album/tour
