Author/Musician JOEL GAUSTEN Posts PIGFACE 25th Anniversary Show Rehearsal Footage – "First Time Playing Drums On Stage In Seven Years"

Writer, journalist and musician Joel Gausten recently announced he would be dusting off his drumsticks to take part in the Pigface 25th Anniversary reunion at the House Of Blues in Chicago on Black Friday. He has issued the following update:

“Well, the rehearsal/secret show was pretty fucking sensational. First time playing drums on stage in seven years. House of Blues ‘dress rehearsal’ show. This is mostly Joel Cam because my lovely wife filmed it, but if you keep watching, you’ll see there are plenty (and I mean plenty) of other musicians up there. It was an honor playing with these great people tonight. More tomorrow.”

Pigface is an industrial music collective conceived during Ministry ‘s 1989-1990 The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste tour, Martin Atkins along with then-Ministry drummer Bill Rieflin , came up with the idea. For each Pigface album, Atkins would assemble a new lineup reflecting the anarchistic ideals of the original punk rock bands of the mid70s.

Since its inception, Pigface has included over 300 musicians such as Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Ogre (Skinny Puppy), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Michael Gira (Swans), LoLo, Shonen Knife, Alex Patterson (Orb), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Paul Raven (Killing Joke), Chris Connelly (Revolting Cocks), Curse Mackey, Andrew Weiss, Chris Haskett (Rollins Band) and many, many more.
