Throbbing Gristle Reunion dates

http://www.throbbing-gristle.com/

Can't catch the NY show but I'll be in Cali when the Coachella and LA shows go down. Kind of torn on whether or not I care, as it's never going to be the same as seeing them when it was fresh (and sans Gen's boobs).

Still, it's an OG lineup and should be an interesting spectacle. I'd really rather catch the NY show tho.

!!!!!! What !!!!! How cool. I know what you mean, Boombats, part of me would go just to see how Genesis is gonna appear and come off onstage with his sex changed looking self. Will he still be moving as a man or as a woman? Is his voice still gonna be the man's normal pitch? Actually I'd love to hear that and see it, the contrast of his natural voice and what he looks like. I actually have this cool big framed photograph I got left from an art auction, of him and his late spouse both dressed up in lovely basic black evening gowns with red lipstick all dressed up in a dark nightclub on a night out. Wow. See, in 2000 I saw him speaking at a convention and I noticed his girl bobbed hair and thought it was cute but he had not started dressing as a woman and wearing all the makeup or gotten the breast implants. I kinda wondered where he was going and now we know.

I remember my former husband said the time he saw them, the lights were down low, and all the band members played their instruments with their BACKS turned to the audience the whole time. Hilarious and funny for those expecting them to do something.
