About My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
Formed in Chicago in 1987, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult originated as a concept film project by Franke Nardiello and Marston Daley – later known by their stage names Groovie Mann and Buzz McCoy.
Their initial soundtrack demos caught the attention of Wax Trax! Records, resulting in the release of a 3-song EP under the same name as their would-be film. This debut led to the full-length album “I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits” in 1988, recorded in Belgium and mixed in London.
Over the decades, the band cultivated a provocative aesthetic combining sleaze, religious satire, and club-oriented industrial disco. Their releases include “Confessions of a Knife” (1990), “Sexplosion!” (1991), and “13 Above the Night” (1993). The group then signed with Interscope Records in the mid-1990s and contributed music to major film soundtracks such as “Cool World”, “Showgirls”, and “Baseketball”.
Throughout the 2000s, the band released multiple albums through Rykodisc and their own label SleazeBox Records. Side projects such as Darling Kandie and Buzz McCoy’s solo works have also appeared on SleazeBox. The group’s catalog continues to be reissued in collaboration with Wax Trax! Records.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
