A band that mixed punk rock with cabaret and dark humor, creating a sound that never fit neatly anywhere.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Broken' or 'Tornado; An Owl', they nail that mix of punk and cabaret.
They put out their first EP in 1994, and songs like 'Broken' showed a willingness to explore disturbing themes through raw vocals and distorted guitars. Their 2004 album 'Move Like This' even featured Joanna Newsom on harp, adding an unexpected folk layer to the aggression. Tracks like 'Tornado; An Owl' and 'Game' kept that theatrical, provocative edge alive through the 2010s.
They formed in 1994 and released material steadily, with albums like 'The Little Death' in 2016 and 'The Greater Good' in 2019. The lineup included Justin Pearson on vocals and bass, Mike Patton on vocals and keyboards until 2007, and Dave Lombardo on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
