History

Thrill Kill Kult's name was the idea of Frankie Nardiello, who was touring with Ministry in 1986 as a lighting technician. Frankie wrote a few songs with Ministry frontman Alain Jourgensen, who was a previous bandmate of Nardiello's in an outfit called "Special Affect", and one of the songs was titled "Thrill Kill Kult". Soon after, Nardiello and friend Marston Daley began to conceive an art and noise movie called Hammerhead Housewife and the Thrill Kill Kult, chronicling their (supposedly) true-life adventures. The film was never completed, but the music they had recorded for its soundtrack appealed to Wax Trax! Records, who released the completed songs as a three-track EP. Ministry is an American industrial metal band founded by front-man by Al Jourgensen in 1981. ...

Dubbing themselves Groovie Mann (Nardiello) and Buzz McCoy (Daley), they launched My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. When the first EP sold well, a full length album, "I See Good Spirits And I See Bad Spirits", followed in 1988. Both attracted attention from college radio stations and dancefloors, as well as religious groups who balked at the overtly occult imagery in both the music and the artwork of the releases. The group continued to stoke controversy with each subsequent release, which included a remix EP entitled "Nervous Xians", and they gained even more popularity with release of the 12-inch single "Kooler Than Jesus".

Thrill Kill Kult's second album, "Confessions of a Knife", became one of the best-selling releases on Wax Trax!, and continued to goad parental groups with song titles like "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan" and "Rivers of Blood, Years of Darkness". Wax Trax! Records was a record label in the United States. ...


Along with labelmates Ministry, KMFDM, and Front 242, Thrill Kill Kult helped develop the industrial music genre, but they themselves continued to evolve, creating a sound that wasn't easily identified or categorized. It was electronic club music with heavy beats, reminiscent of both disco and funk, yet amplified to a sometimes abrasive level. Whereas previous dance music tended to be giddy and happy, Thrill Kill Kult reflected a shift where dance records could be ominous and aggressive, and they laced their music with riffs and references that would seem more at home in a heavy metal group. Contemporaries were doing similar things with their music, but Thrill Kill Kult also maintained a sense of humor about it, too, and one of their most distinctive characteristics is their rampant use of spoken-word samples lifted from B-movies and other sources.

At the onset of their career, the band's music was known as having a "Satanic" theme, but it's worth noting that none of the songs ever had anything overt about Satanism or devil worship, although blasphemous images were often a part of their lyrics and artwork. For instance, the aforementioned song "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan" would seem to suggest otherwise, but in reality it was simply the title of a pulp mystery novel written by Joan Fleming, spotted by Nardiello on a bookshelf.[1] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...


The occult element of the band has moved to the background in recent years, as they have focused more on their sleazy disco sound. The 1991 album Sexplosion! marked TKK's leap toward more psychedelic house beats and their later grind house lounge sound. Later albums expanded on these sounds and explored new directions as well, such as the 1995 Interscope release Hit & Run Holiday, which combined the Kult's signature electronic sound with a psychedelic surf rock/go go theme reminiscent of 60s garage rock and more modern acts like The B-52's.

Live shows

Nardiello and Daley recruited Thomas Thorn (aka Buck Ryder) to play keyboards and administer samples on the band's first tour. The live act also featured female backup singers referred to as "The Bomb Gang Girlz", among the first of whom were Jackie Blaque, Rhonda Bond and Kitty Killdare.


Thomas Thorn soon departed amicably from the live act to form his own band, Electric Hellfire Club (which embraced the overtly Satanic themes My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult had only flirted with), although he would later lay claim to TKK's dark sound and allegedly make the statement "I took the 'kill' out of Thrill Kill Kult." Since the split was amicable, however, it is likely that Thorn's statements were not meant to be taken seriously, particularly since his part in the creative process on the early albums was minimal. // The Electric Hellfire Club is an industrial metal band mixing elements of glam metal, techno, gothic rock, psychedelia and experimental noise. ...


My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult kept adding a revolving cast of characters to their stage show that, over the years, has included Goth chanteuse Lydia Lunch, bassist Levi Levi, guitarist William Tucker, Chris "Curse" Mackey from the bands Evil Mothers and Grim Faeries, Lady Galore from Lords of Acid (who appeared in TKK as Cherrie Blue), and a great number of artists, sound technicians, musicians, and filmmakers.

The "Sexplosion!" tour in 1991 achieved a particularly notorious reputation. In addition to being interestingly staged, featuring an actual bar and bartender onstage with the band, the show also featured a male/female duo known as Ten and Avaluscious White, who appeared onstage dressed in a number of different guises. At one point, Ten was dressed as Jesus strapped to a cross and featuring a large black dildo between his legs, while Avaluscious White simulated oral sex on him. This caused controversy and protest in a number of American locations, adding to the band's notoriety.


As part of their "Inferno X-press Tour", The Thrill Kill Kult (along with Cirrus and BeatMistress) played to a packed crowd at Tunnel in Manhattan on Sunday, July 24th, 1997. Tunnel was the name of a large New York City nightclub with multiple rooms on several levels. ...


Record labels

Thrill Kill Kult left Wax Trax! Records after their third album, Sexplosion!, surpassed Confessions to become the biggest seller on the imprint, and major label Interscope Records took notice. TKK signed to Interscope, which re-released Sexplosion! and garnered the band their most familiar alternative radio hit, "Sex On Wheelz". Their following two albums, 13 Above the Night and Hit & Run Holiday, were recorded for Interscope until they parted with the label in 1996. The band's subsequent album, A Crime For All Seasons, was released on Red Ant Records. Wax Trax! Records was a record label in the United States. ...

In 2001 the band's album The Reincarnation of Luna appeared on their own Sleazebox Records imprint, distributed by Invisible Records. The band released a companion piece to Luna called Golden Pillz: The Luna Remixes, as well as a live album called Elektrik Inferno. Rykodisc became the band's next and most current home after putting out the rarities compilation Dirty Little Secrets. Rykodisc eventually released My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult's entire back catalog, as well as a new "best-of" compilation, a remix album, and a long-unreleased project entitled Gay, Black & Married.

Frank Nardiello first appeared in a band called Special Affect which also featured Alain Jourgensen on guitar and Harry Rushakoff on drums. After the disintegration of Special Affect, Nardiello went to England to become the lead singer of a band called Drowning Craze. It was after returning to America that the idea for My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult came about. A more recent project called Darling Kandie originated in 1999 as a duo comprised of Nardiello and William Tucker. After Tucker's untimely death in 1999, Nardiello released their work as an EP titled People Next Door.

Live In Concert - My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult (1245 words)
Since "Thrill Kill" uses a lot of sampling from different movies and television shows in their music, this is where the acoustics hurt the most.
In preparation for "Thrill Kill's" entrance, props were placed at the back of the stage that looked something like silver ducks in football helmets standing in front of the band logo, which in turn looked almost like an altar with the ducks were standing in front of it.
Since "Thrill Kill Kult" is very into performance art, I spent a good deal of the time before they hit the stage just looking at the set and trying to figure out what part it would play in the show.
