The sleazy wrecker of civilisation from TG and Coil is cumming all the way from the East Tower. Given that name by his Throbbing Gristle (TG) band mate Genesis P. Orridge back in the day, we are happy to welcome, all the way from Thailand, Peter as our International Guest in 2007. Having seen the error of his ways, Sleazy has abandoned the West and now lives in Asia WAY upriver, deep in the mountainous jungles, shaven headed, musing in the shadows on snails and straight razors, surrounded by a Private Army of young, loyal and bloodthirsty bodyguards, waiting to fulfill his every whim, no matter how bizarre, perverted or outlandish.... Well the last part is true anyway! A little known aspect of Sleazy’s work as an artist, musician and troublemaker has been the production of moving images, video clips, short films and film clips. He worked at Hipgnosis in the 70’s and conspired on some classic Floyd covers, not to mention a major hand in the early TG covers and visual imagery. MUFF is proud to present the first film festival focus on the visual aspect of Mr.Christopherson’s work.
We have a bumper program of three sessions and a live gig of the Threshold House Boys Choir Peter’s new live band after the untimely demise of Coil following the tragic death of John Balance. Check it out and remember the vultures call us all and that gold is metal …

Film clips, video clips and short films by Peter Christopherson from NIN and Ministry to his own work with TG and Coil.

LIVE GIG @ THE TOFF IN TOWN Wednesday 26 September Doors open at 11pm
Sleazy performs live in Australia for the first time ever! This gig by his new band, the Threshold House Boys Choir, is a must see one-off special event. See our separate flier for booking details or contact the Toff in Town. This event is certain to sell out. If you live in Sydney and need Sleazy you will have to travel down to the more cultured Melbourne to see this fine live evening’s entertainment. The supporting act is David Thrussell (from Snog and Black Lung). Sleazy on stage around the witching hour of midnight …
