Always at the "must see" events, my friend Randy has not one, but two sets of photos from this past weekend's Throbbing Gristle shows here in NYC. Here's the scoop:
"In a move that sent shockwaves (!) through their North American fanbase,
THROBBING GRISTLE performed their first stateside dates this month since
originally breaking up in 1981. The group still includes the original
four members who coalesced in 1976: Genesis P-Orridge, Cosey Fanni
Tutti, Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson and Chris Carter. These photos
were taken at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple on Thursday, April 16th.

Shortly after 8:00 PM, TG took the stage and performed their new
soundtrack to the experimental Derek Jarman 1974 film, "In The Shadow of
the Sun." Following the performance, the band did an extremely rare
autograph signing for the massive crowd. The night concluded with an
intoxicating set that included "Very Friendly," "Endless Not," "Almost a
Kiss," "Hamburger Lady," "What a Day," and the closing pounder,
"Discipline," among others.
In addition to gigs in Brooklyn and Manhattan, TG is also playing
Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the Coachella Festival in
Indio, CA.
I also shot them the following night at Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan:

As always, thanks for sharing Randy!
