They are an industrial band formed in the early 80's. Lead singer William Bennett howls, screams, insults, and generally tries to act tough while a screechy note is held down on a cheap synth at the highest possible frequency. I never got the attraction, but I have witnessed their albums selling for well over $100 so obviously there are some who go in for this sort of thing big time. They were part of the same scene which germinated Nurse With Wound and Current 93, two of my favorite bands, but Whitehouse just plain suck IMO. -- ________________________ omz beautamous loaf recordings http://www.hotweird.com/loaf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
