• IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THROBBING GRISTLE!

2010-10-28T15:43:00.001+01:00

In the evening 27th October TG members and their associated managements received two emails from Genesis P-Orridge stating he was no longer willing to perform in Throbbing Gristle and returned to his home in New York.

Cosey, Sleazy & Chris have concluded that once more, and for the time being, Throbbing Gristle has Ceased to Exist, at least as a live entity.

Therefore, and with deepest apologies, TG must cancel their scheduled performance at Archa Theatre, in Prague, Czech Republic on 30th October. It being too short notice to offer an alternative set.

In order not to disappoint fans of the old quartet, Cosey, Peter & Chris performed under the name X-TG at Arena Del Sole, Bologna, Italy on 2nd November & at Casa Musica, Porto, Portugal on 5th November.

We hope fans will appreciate and enjoy this new project and the trio is looking forward to performing exciting new and radical electronic musics together.

• THROBBING GRISTLE.COM WEBSITE UPDATE •

2010-02-05T13:12:00.002Z

This site has recently undergone a few updates.
The most significant of these is that the TG News page (this page) is now in a 'blog' format which is mirrored on Blogger.com: - throbbing--gristle.blogspot.com

This change means comments can now be left to TG News posts, although 99% of the time the comments will not be answered or commented on by TG, or any TG representatives and are instead included for TG fans and followers to use amongst themselves. At present the blog comments are 'unmoderated'. However, if the situation warrants it this may change to 'moderated', or in a worst case scenario, the comments feature may be disabled altogether.
So we'll have to see how this new feature on TG.com works out. Be nice people...

• TG COLLABORATION with CERITH WYN EVANS •

2009-10-01T17:57:00.006+01:00

TG have recently been working on a collaboration with renowned artist Cerith Wyn Evans. The piece entitled A=P=P=A=R=I=T=I=O=N consists of a large sculpture incorporating 16 suspended and highly polished circular Audio Spotlight panels. TG have composed a special multi-channel soundtrack that plays through the sculpture.
A=P=P=A=R=I=T=I=O=N is on show at Tramway, Glasgow - 7th August to 27th September

A=P=P=A=R=I=T=I=O=N is a remarkable audio structure and we urge you to visit the exhibition to participation and interact with what is truly a unique TG aural experience.

• INFO RE: PART TWO - TOTEMIC CD •

2007-12-01T12:57:00.001Z

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING
'PART TWO - TOTEMIC EDITION CD'

The first 4000 copies of PART TWO The Endless Not came with a Totemic Gift inserted into the spine area of the jewel case. Four Editions, of 1000 copies each, in copper, bone, rubber and wood, were released. The Totemic Gifts were handmade under Peter Christopherson's personal supervision in Thailand. These copies were distributed worldwide, although obviously opportunities to find them were limited and to some extent random. As far as we know none of these editions that reached stores remain unsold. We are very aware that many people will not have had the opportunity to obtain copies of the Totem Editions (indeed some may never have even seen them) so in the nick of time, we purchased a small number and held them back so as to make them slightly more generally available to regular visitors to our website. In addition to the four Totem Editions from Mute/EMI, there is also a Japanese release of the Endless Not which contains a fifth Totemic Gift item, in stainless steel. Finally Peter Christopherson has produced a sixth Totemic Gift in 23 carat gold, of which at present only one exists.
