Throbbing Gristle release Live at the Volksbühne, Berlin, New Year's Eve, 2005, via Mute.
This release, previously featured in the TG Berlin box set and available on vinyl for the first time, captures Throbbing Gristle's unforgettable New Year’s Eve performance, part of a specially curated series of live events held at the Volksbühne, Berlin in 2005 and 2006. The setlist included a preview of five tracks from their first album in 27 years, Part Two: The Endless Not—which was released several years later. Fans were also treated to TG’s first encore in 25/26 years, which included iconic songs like ‘Convincing People’, ‘Slug Bait’, and ‘Hamburger Lady—what an encore! Additionally, the performance
featured the released track ‘Splitting Sky’ and more.
Formed in 1975, Throbbing Gristle - Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020) and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (1955-2010), fully delivered on punk’s failed promise to explore extreme culture as a way of sabotaging
systems of control. Their impact on music, culture and the arts has been immeasurable, and still felt today across music, film, theatre, and fine art.
Available on Double vinyl and CD.
