Description:

A group dedicated to the pioneers of electro noise scene called The Young Gods

Swiss electro-noise terrorists the Young Gods traced their origins back to 1982, when Geneva-based frontman Franz Treichler, increasingly bored with his then-current new wave band, began experimenting with a small sampler. Influenced as well by the visceral power of punk and the grand drama of classical music, he began creating abrasive guitar and drum loops, and with sampler Cesare Pizzi and percussionist Frank Bagnoud, founded the Young Gods in 1985; named in an honor of a Swans composition.

How's the new member (guitarist guy) working out? What does he add (or take away) from the presentation?

Excellent gig at the Islington Academy on Sunday - the new stuff sounds good (although the lyrics tend to the, er, jejune end of the spectrum) and the sound system took a serious pounding. First gig in five for me where Skinflowers didn't get an airing...
