Mary Byker was just a fantastic fill-in for Clint Mansell in PWEI. I'll be pleased to see Leslie Rankine too ... I keep having to miss Ruby when they play in Toronto. I originally knew her from Therapy? actually...

I had no idea she collaborated with them. Troublegum stayed in my car stereo from 94-98 I reckon, and I never realized that was her on "Lunacy Booth."

Suck

Both versions of Suck were spectacular ... the first was a sitar duet with Leslie singing sweetly. For the finale they brought everyone on stage to scream Suck. I noticed they brought up Jimi from Malhavoc too, and there were some other faces I didn't recognise.

It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Every band should have three drummers and two bassists! It was just a spectacle with the ensemble.

Mary Byker was an awesome frontman for it... can't believe he flew back to England mid-Pigface tour to get a PWEI gig in.

This is really stretching the definition of "electro-industrial", but the latest Daughters music video is :stare:

Noise fans rejoice:

Also Street Sects put out a basic video for their latest in the Gentrification project:

They are left. Lots of their songs have an anti-police/anti-authority thing going on and this is even more explicit in their music videos. They seem to be trying to combine cyberpunk and black block / antifa aesthetics.
They've also done a number of collabs with hip-hop/hardcore group Ho99o9, who are very left.

edit: I mean, this seems pretty straight forward:

The occult stuff+anti-neolib themes was the red flag lol. Contemporary leftist themes and "modern degeneracy" sound similar when abstracted through music.

Scene tolerance for Fash has plummeted in recent years. Kind of troubling there was so much tolerance for it in the first place, but sometimes it's hard to tell who is into Fash symbolism for the fetish angle versus the actual ideology. Also, new generations, and all that. OG industrialists grew up when Siouxie Sioux and the Sex Pistols and others wore swastikas to shock and offend their WW2 parents and grandparents, so probably had a blindspot to some of it. And honestly, ten years ago, the idea of full-on Nazi/Fascism becoming so prominent seemed laughable.

But yeah, what few millennials and younger are attracted to industrial, there's no patience for that poo poo, especially now.

For context, I'm 37.

It's SO loving CRINGEY to have seen Siouxie do it. I get it may have been a shock thing at the time, but it feels to me it was terrible at that time too and really regrettable, and I hope she apologised for it.

I'm 38. In 2007 I saw VNV Nation and And One on tour in Milwaukee. Some dude in the front row kept shouting "Heil Hitler" at Steve Nagavi. Of course, his parents immigrated to Germany from Iran, so... yeah, cringe. No one did anything about it. Steve acknowledged him in a sarcastic, "what's this guy's deal?" kind of way.

A few years later, I was at a goth club on Halloween. Some dude's costume was Hitler, complete with haircut, and he shaved his mustache into a Hitler mustache. Everyone in my group of friends and acquaintances thought it sucked and was a lovely thing to do, but once again, no one did anything. Years later, when "alt-right" became a thing, I thought of that dude and wondered if he's out there hanging with Richard Spencer and Milo and the like.

Maybe try to think about Pharmakon as genre-straddling or something? I am more into her for the angry-sad-lady-art-music angle than the noise angle, and seeing the success of artists like Lingua Ignota (who is also good) I don't think I am alone there. There's a little less cringe, a little less fash, and a lot more novelty there.

I like the noise as catharsis aspect that these ladies seem to be exploring. Dudes who do live noise music seem to be going all in on diy instruments to set themselves apart these days, and I might catch a show of that for the nerdery of it, but I won't go out of my way for it :shrug:

I don't think there's a great deal of novelty in her sound, it's all territory that other people within PE have covered or are covering, she's just good at it. Like a lot of the synth work and metal junk usage on Contact were obviously heavily influenced by a lot of European PE groups for example. There are plenty of contemporary PE projects doing nonstereotypical takes on the style if that's what you want from it, and some of them are by women, so I don't think that alone sets her apart. Noise as catharsis is something that is going to come up to some degree in a lot of this kind of music, because it's mostly about people yelling over a bunch of noises. It's just quite frustrating that an artist who is simply doing good work in their genre of choice is set up as some of genre crossover when many other artists doing more or less similar things are not. But that is sort of to be expected when something from a niche music scene gets pitchfork reviews I suppose.

Pitchfork helps, but so does being on a label like Dais or Sacred Bones instead of having like 600 listens on Bandcamp or whatever. Not a lot of these artists get much play, I don't see the point in being pissed at people who get into the ones who do.

On the second to last Laibach concert I went to there was a middle aged dude in a dirty wifebeater out in front just constantly sieg heiling Milan Fras and trying to get his attention. He was not happy about it.

He seemed pretty out of it to be honest and most people gave him a wide berth, but some guys eventually spoke to him and he hosed off.

I mean Linekraft, to give an example of a currently active artist doing great stuff, has in the last year released lps on hospital productions and tesco organisation, so I'm not talking about tiny diy labels. I'm not angry at anyone but it would be nice if people who like Pharmakon would explore a tiny bit more of the musical world that she is coming from, because a lot of it is very good.
