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 U2s 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 Tools Danny Carey and Red Hot Chili Peppers
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.
