Chicago, United States (1987 – present)

Although White Zombie received most of the credit for mixing tales of sex, Satan, and gore with a rock/dance beat (although admittedly with more of a heavy metal edge), Chicago’s My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult specialized in similar territory for just as long. Originally formed in 1987 by Buzz McCoy (who had recently relocated from Boston) and Groovie Mann, the duo sought to create a worthy musical accompaniment that could be used as a soundtrack to trashy B-movies. The duo’s initial project was to make a movie (in the style of Russ Meyer and John Waters) to be named “My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. ” The movie never got off the ground, but McCoy and Mann used the aborted movie’s title for the name of their just-formed group, as their over-the-top stage show was best described as “sensory overload” (featuring a revolving door of weird characters, props, and intense visuals). Signing on with Chicago’s renowned industrial dance label Wax Trax!, the Thrill Kill Kult issued several releases between 1989 and 1991: a self-titled EP, plus the full-lengths I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits, Kooler Than Jesus, Confessions of a Knife, and Sexplosion!

By this time, the group had attracted the attention of Interscope Records, which signed up the Thrill Kill Kult and reissued Sexplosion!, which had spawned perhaps the group’s best-known song, “Sex on Wheelz” (the track would also be featured in director Ralph Bakshi’s animated movie Cool World).

I love the song TV Sista. I love, how the laid back verse turns into this tense chorus. Come on tour in Europe finally, you can sleep at my my place in Munich!!!

I'll believe they broke up when it's on the website... until then, it's just rumor.

I think Zanrook has brain damage. Anyways, live show was fun as always. Groovie needs to stop taking his sunglasses off. Drugs age a man horribly.

Death Threat is... exactly the same as everything they've done since Sexplosion, except it has more punch. Very cool tracks, very sleazy.

Any of you in the Des Moines area should come see them Thursday the 14th at Peoples Court. Just once I'd like to see an okay turnout for a good band in this stupid city full of slipknot fans and bitch-banged 14 year old hipsters.
