What's New With the Swingin' Love Corpses?

May 1995

The "Blood, Gristle and Bone Onslaught" show at the Onassis Gallery, Toronto, is reviewed by Cooter Holland in the May issue of the Desert Freak Press !*@# (Exclaim). We quote ...

Leaders of the Midwest's non-gothic thrash-grunge post-neo-industrial scene and, coincidentally, the owners of the coolest band name of all time, The Swingin' Love Corpses make good on all of their rare live appearances. Openers are listed in the World's Greatest Band Name List but include King Crimson-type noise bands who offer up a guitars played with a vibrators, a megaphone feeding back into a saxophone, an exhibition of mud-eating and a cover of an Edgard Varese song. SLC followed by sticking their keyboards and computers into burlap bags with which they pummeled one another, which doesn't give the audience much to watch, so they back it up with a 40-screen film and their infamous million dollar multi-media show. Other bands use screens, but SLC earn extra money during the show by selling seatpads, soft-drinks, peanuts and other concessions and then actually link up the images on screen with their musical themes. The piece called "The War On Idiocy" synce d with images of cops busting down garbage cans, cold medicine TV addicts taking shots of Silken Lauman and her Bone Collection (talk about tropical!). Lots of bands aspire to the multi-media concept, SLC actually kill for it.
