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.

Haha, my interpretation of that was that Dom Fernow is a very uncool one-dimensional cartoon character ball of rage, who makes music only to vent. But that probably says as much about my lack of affection for the noise grenre and my eventual sense of disappointment in Rollins as anything else (I used to subscribe to the theory that Rollins was some kind of God, but after about the 30th rant it became a case of "oh, bloody hell, what's he getting anghry about this time?").
