Throbbing Gristle news..!

From TG's site:

Sleazy' Peter Martin Christopherson (27/02/1955 - 24/11/2010) - We miss him dearly...

To eliminate any further speculation, rumours or disinformation: Throbbing Gristle (through these, the very saddest of circumstances) concur with Sleazy's comments of 10th November 2010:

"About the future of TG live. I do not regard it as possible for any changed band or variation of personnel to perform live as Throbbing Gristle without all the original four of us on stage.”

Industrial Records
hereby announces it's official re-activation. IR is the sole representative of, and ONLY official label representing and releasing records by Throbbing Gristle.

TG’s contract with Mute/EMI expired in June 2010, and despite a number of other offers and proposals, all four members of TG elected to re-start Industrial Records to re-release the IR/TG catalogue and the final TG studio album "Desertshore" along with other archival recordings.

IR has purchased ALL the remaining warehouse stock of the Mute Records editions of TG recordings. The first batch for sale comprises of the last remaining copies of the original editions of "TGV" DVD boxed-set, "Part Two - Endless Not" CD and double vinyl LP along with bargain priced 'end-of-line' titles including; "The Second Annual Report", "D.O.A. The Third & Final Report", "Heathen Earth", & "20 Jazz Funk Greats".

To reiterate, TG will be re-releasing their best efforts on both vinyl(!) and CD/digital. Those come out in September. Also (sometime in 2012) Throbbing Gristle will (FINALLY) be releasing their version of Nico's classic/masterpiece "Desertshore", this will be their last full length as the core group. This news should make any experimental music fan's day (and then some).
