For all you Throbbing Gristle fans (this just in)

Throbbing Gristle are releasing “Live at the Volksbühne Berlin, New Year’s Eve 2005” on CD and Vinyl on May 16th.

As a teaser we got this video clip of “Hamburger Lady” from that concert. It’s as raw as it gets with Throbbing Gristle, and has me looking forward to this release. I hope some of you old school industrial fans are hoping to groove on this as much as I am.

I am sure there will be more to come about this one, but here is a note from the band:

“In 2004, Throbbing Gristle, Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020) and Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson (1955-2010), regrouped and the following six years became a period of renewed creativity for the band. Back in the studio after 20 years, they found group intuition when performing was intact and their ability to break down barriers and forge connections with an audience was more powerful than ever.  

TG Berlin and Live at the Volksbühne Berlin, New Year’s Eve 2005 are the latest releases in an ongoing collaboration with Mute, compelling documents of Throbbing Gristle performing and recording as a four-piece with a renewed vigour. From the opening beats and serrated electronics of one of their final tracks recorded together, “Scabs & Saws”, it’s clear that TG are not revisiting ground already tread, but bringing two decades of individual experience back into the studio to create a new exploration of sound. The vocals have a different depth, the groove is deeper, and the atmosphere has lost none of its potency.”
