After 14 years, Martin brings back Pigface. A few dates have been released but not any members yet.
No California show. Boo.
Yeah, I wish they were coming here too. For all my shitting on Atkins, they really made this sound like it’ll be a fun one and the VIP packs looked pretty rad. Pigface used to be one of my absolute favorite bands, but I never saw the live.

For a while there they were an absolute blast of a live act…
I saw them in the 90s at Limelight. The lineup included Genesis P-Orridge and Ogre. They played for almost four hours. At one point, they inflated a raft and Ogre surfed on the mosh pit. It was like watching an industrial, Mad Max version of George Clinton & The P-Funk All Stars. INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend seeing them.

The p funk/mad max thing is a great way to describe those gigs…those 90s shows were loads of fun…they did the raft thing a few times on the 2000s also…not sure how a Pigface tour would go over these days…guess it would all depend on who is in the collective this time around…

The line up is definitely a big part, and I don’t think it’s possible for them to re-capture the beautiful clusterfuck madness of the early Pigface live experience. Most everyone has grown up, grown old, gotten clean, etc. Not that any of that is a bad thing. You can still, of course, have a blast, but the other element is the crowd itself. These types of gigs used to be such a wonderful communion among the artists and fans. It was spontaneous, exciting, and wonderful. People EXPERIENCED shows and lived them in the moment, because it’s a one time shot and then it’s over. People now seem to have really tragically lost so much of that, sadly. Instead of a couple hundred maniacs gleefully losing their minds and having a wonderful apocalyptic orgy of fun, now you got a bunch of fuckheads standing around with cameras and cell phones.

The '92 tour was absolute madness. Last time I saw them was 2005, I think?
Pending the line up, I might fly out for one of the shows. I like to do that every once in a while. Perhaps my hometown of Cleveland or maybe even Columbus.

I think it’s his out if anyone accuses him to be full of shit. “I didn’t write that! I can spell! There’s also an alarming lack of ‘fucks.’”

Fuck you Martin for neglecting California.
By the way, same Pile. But no longer a space after Eureka because there is no fucking safe space.
