Whitehouse

Whitehouse skal spille i Oslo i mars.
Jeg vet ikke noe mere akkurat nå, fikk vite dette av en kompis av meg på nett som skal varme opp for han.
Whitehouse live.
Jeg vet ikke hva jeg kan si.
Litt i sjokk.
More later.

For de som ikke kjenner til whitehouse legger jeg til et lite utdrag av et intervju og link: http://www.susanlawly.freeuk.com/

Whitehouse article and interview by Tom K Bailey (1996)

William Bennett and his creative outlet, Whitehouse, are not ones to mince words or waste one's time with pretension and stylized gimmicks. Over more than a dozen albums after the inception of Whitehouse in the early 80s, they stand as the antithesis of a pop culture often too cultivated and easily swallowed for its own good. Throughout the years Whitehouse has crafted music which caters to only the most extreme of emotions, shreds taboos and most importantly, operates at decibel levels which can at times cause genuine pain. Whitehouse subject matter delves into the spheres of cruelty and sadism with unforgiving, surgical precision- yet upon listening to their records, their harsh sonic blasts can be interpreted in a number of ways. They are not your farcical heavy-metal serial killer adulation or tired self-pitying, raving suburban boys.

Whitehouse long and often perilous history is one that speaks for itself; 14 or so albums of curt, to-the-point electronic destruction, along with over 80 live actions, which have tested the artistic and aesthetic limits of even the greatest connoisseurs of avant-garde sound. Whitehouse live events have been known to destroy huge P.A. systems, incite the throwing of razor blades and other harmful objects at the band, and in the end tear away that middle ground, that apathetic gray area which the mechanized urban lifestyle seems to implant in us, replacing it with either a sick state of delirious enjoyment or outright repulsion. No matter which of these sides you choose to take, it's clear that Whitehouse does something that so many exhibitionists and would-be cultural art terrorists strive for; they make an impact. In accomplishing this feat they manage to avoid all aspects of rock music other than the aural damage and the adrenaline rush.
