  • Bio

    .... .. ..Hailed by some as "an aggressive new alternative-rock Frankenstein," ..Pigface.. grew to become a fierce juggernaut with a malleable line-up that could be as limited as the individual members personal phone books, or as packed with possibilities as the Yellow Pages. Egos where willingly surrendered for the greater good: the onstage fire-eater at a Pittsburgh show was just as important as the participation of then-fledgling ..Nine Inch Nails ..frontman Trent Reznor. Fans going to the shows expecting a rote regurgitation of the stuff found on the debut 1991 ..Pigface.. document, ..Gub.., were left screaming and shaking their sweaty bodies in wild abandon, or scratching their heads down to skull-surface trying to make sense of it all..... .. .. .... .. ..At close inspection, its obvious that ..Pigface.. has become much more than the convenient, yet dubious tag of "super group." A strategy for the creation of uncompromising music, ..Pigface.. has been a farm team (belly dancer Christine Petro added some color to ..U2..s PopMart tour), as well as a launch pad for underground mavens to reinvent themselves. The collective fostered the aesthetic growth of former ..Silverfish.. screamer Lesley Rankine (heard here on "Chickasaw", and "Ten Ground and Down") into the sultry grooves of ..Ruby... Ditto for the career of former ..Gaye Byker On Acid.. Mary Hoxley, who later ascended from "grebo" obscurity to British dance-rock royalty in ..Apollo 440... Pigface also acted as a rampart where established musicians-such as ..Tool..s Danny Carey and ..Red Hot Chili Pepper..s Michael "Flea" Balzary could stretch out in ways their parent bands would not let them. The communal spirit of the music was also enough of a force to make the music industry adjust its cloudy spectacles to take notice (reportedly, the last word in ..Skinny Puppy's.. American Recordings contract is "Pigface"). But don't think for a nanosecond that all that activity and accomplishment was only felt onstage in a self-congratulatory back-slapping marathon: Just prior to his signing to the nothing Records label, ..Marilyn Manson.. launched an ad hoc ensemble names Mrs. Scabtree, that featured other like-minded Ft. Lauderdale, Florida freaks. When pressed for details, Manson described the group as "a ..Pigface..-kind of thing." Time has proven that ..Pigface.. was an idea that has ignited both musicians and audiences alike..... .. .. .... .. ....- Jason Pettigrew ......Alternative Press........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ______________________________________________________________ .. ..
