prurient live
 

caught him live in glasgow a couple of nights ago; hadda miss him at ATP in order to have my life changed by the Dead C. Anyhoo, here are a couple of pics and the obligatory shitty quality video clip

His set at ATP was great:)
Nice leather glove...

i saw him a few times in leeds but he was marred by technical problems so his sets were very short. what i saw was very good.

funny that he always has those black gloves... but great stuff.

dom is a happy chappy isnt he. i will see live prurient sometime im sure. nice pics

I saw him play about a month ago at this small theatre. The level of brutality wasn't on a par with that no fun fest clip where he is raging shirtless, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Nihilistic frenzy.
And it was loud too, you could feel the low end noises in your flesh.

After the gig I bought Pleasure Ground and it's fucking harsh.

the henry rollins of noise

got some new Prurient in distro including collab with Giffoni http://www.archivecd.com/shop2.htm

I saw him open for Wolf Eyes once. It hurt my ears.
I think I'm finally too old (22.9) to understand what the kids are listening to.

Yeah, he's great live. It's a shame the energy of his show doesn't translate as well on record.

whorefrost - I was at the same Dead C gig too - brilliant. I loved the way that Bruce Russell rolled and smoked endless joints onstage. Also, the bouncers and staff loathed them - ha! I saw them play in Kilburn a few days after, and if anything they were even better.

Nefeli - I like the "Death Unit" LP that Dominik put out on Hospital Records - worth tracking down....not a pure Prurient release per se, but still a killer album, methinks. The "Pleasure Ground" CD gets 2 thumbs up from me, too.

^^^It sure was! ATP 2008 was pretty nifty too, methinks.

I saw Prurient a couple of years ago w/Burning Star Core and Consumer Electronics - tip-top fun all round. Black gloves very much in evidence - our party referred to Prurient as Alvin Stardust for the rest of the evening :D CE was great too - I like me some solo Philip Best shenanigans.

Melly - are you aware that Mr Fernow is playing in London relatively soon?

blunderbuss - no! When is he playing, sir?

EDIT - have found out - 20 May at the Grosvenor, Stockwell.

I can't remember - it's posted in the London gig guide thread.

Still looking forward to the Prurient/Thurston disk which has meant to be coming out on Ecstatic Peace for a while.
Prurient/Hotoguisu collab is fucking gnarly, dense heavy fucknoise. And Hospital is generally a sweet label, nice releases from Magik Markers, New Blockaders, Double Leopards...

I can totally see that.. prurient is fucking cool

have you seen that video of him playing in a book store somewhere? when he was 14 or something? hilarious.

I saw Prurient supporting Merzbow last year. Or it might have been Kevin Drumm. Either way I wandered out in mild boredom.
