||||||||
|

i'm being put off by his/their apparent misogynism... -_- i have the album they did with nurse with wound in mp3 (the first track is scary/interesting, the second one is noisy and quite amorphous) but i'm even not feeling so good about the fact that they made an album together. |

Great White Death and Bird Seed are great. |

yeah got bird seed which I find strangely relaxing! It kind of sends you into a trance. A bit like licking the end of a battery - it feels uncomfortable but you can't stop doing it. I'm not sure about their paedo links but I think the Peter Sotos guy left a couple of albums back - he was the nutter |

Well they were bottled off - is that normal for them? |

I think people (not unfairly) miss the point with them sometimes. But it's a fine line to say the least... As for being bottled offstage - probably. I think they attack the audience sometimes too, or they used to. |

What the fuck is the point of that "article"? Some of the quotes are interesting but the bits of what I assume are lyrics are terrible. It sounds like boring ass disillusioned teenage angst poetry progressed to the point of something that really should be shown to a psychologist. Also, the actual body text of the article sounds like that same angsty teen just discovered thesaurus.com and a random word generator and jumbled everything together. "man! if I don't understand it, it must be profound!" |

really, they just want to shock right? |

yea sotos left in 2003 or so, he's a nut indeed, from wikipedia In 1986, after nine months of police surveillance, Sotos' apartment was raided by the police, he was arrested and charged with obscenity and possession of child pornography. What followed was a three-year trial, countless psychiatric tests, and some jail time. Charges of obscenity were dropped, but Sotos was eventually found guilty of the possession charge, and was given a suspended sentence and a fine. Sotos was the first person in the United States ever to be charged for owning child pornography |

great guys |

not really. regarding their motives: in the late eighties i recall an interview with william bennett, i believe, in the magazine "alternative press." he described their motives as nonartistic, but specifically sadistic. he said "i don't make music not because i can't make music, but because i choose not to." he described their "sound" as an act of sadism. i've also read interviews with peter sotos, and he's not just into child pornography, he described in an interview (in a chicago based underground magazine, can't remember the title) how he took tremendous pleasure in the emotional pain of parents whose children were sexually tortured and murdered. so maybe he was motivated by the desire to shock, to make people angry, upset, hurt. i've also seen a reproduction of some of peter sotos' "art," which consisted of a collage of images of missing children with penises ejaculating into their faces. |

William Bennet kicked Sotos out the band years ago not that that excuses his art - but are you suggesting censorship? |

easy there, pal. let's not make too many hasty inferences. are you saying you love child pornography? anyway, it's not entirely clear when sotos was really "kicked out" of the "band." and the primary point is that whitehouse exists to operate sadistic actions, not music or art necessarily. if that's your bag, let 'er rip. i've not even given my opinion of their art in the thread. my post was matter-of-fact. it doesn't matter in the end whether or not whitehouse are a bunch of boring solipsistic sadism fetishists. |

why did they let him join the 'band' in the first place when in 1986 already he was charged for owning child pornography |
