Biography

Industrial group. Growing out of the extreme performance art group [a=COUM Transmissions]. Their first performances were in 1976 and their last gig was in San Francisco in 1981 (recorded and released as "Mission Of Dead Souls"), Throbbing Gristle officially began at September 3, 1975 and they officially split on June 23, 1981. After they split, Genesis and Peter formed [a=Psychic TV] (and Peter later joining [a=Coil]) and Chris and Cosey becoming, well, [a=Chris & Cosey]. They came back together 23 years later in 2004 to plan an ill-fated weekend festival, which became a one-off recording session in London when the festival fell through, releasing a limited TGNOW album of the recordings. A series of new releases and remasters followed as well as live performances. In 2010, Genesis withdrew from touring with TG and the three other members renamed themselves [a=X-TG]. However, Peter's death in November that year brought an end to TG/XTG for good. One final release, released under the name X-TG, followed in 2012. [b]A note on bootlegs[/b]: Throbbing Gristle was an organisation and all releases had to be approved by the organisation, not individual members. Most official releases were released by [l=Industrial Records], [l=Fetish Records] and [l=Mute] (some exceptions exist).

You and I
You and I
Living together
Loving forever
At our distance

You become me
And I becomy you
She is she
And she is you too

A corresponding game to play
A special way for us to stay

Its a lie
Its the same
It's a sigh
It's a game
Its the why
Its the where and the when we're United

Four faces blending blending blending
Neverending
Our places sending
Shades of evening

Oceans between us
Sky between us
Land between us
Fire between us
