The Slippery Roger delivers an incendiary thrust to the frontal lobes with all the subtlety of an ice-pick lobotomy. This solo electro-punk cabaret artist unashamedly unleashes the power of crapbox teknologies upon the world. Having recently returned from the critically ignored 'too crap for Canada tour' the Slippery Roger is back in Australia working on material for the upcoming album.
Controversial, obscure and somewhat bizarre, the media has described The Slippery Roger as:
And of the stage show:
_______________________________
The Slippery Roger emerged from the ashes of 'CrapBox and Friends'
a short lived collective electro-experimental project formed during
mid 1999. The Slippery Roger was the moniker given to the person who
arranged the diverse and divergent sounds of the crapbox into several absurd
compositions that had all the melodic spasticity of a bad porn
soundtrack. Based on these sessions two EPs were independently
released - The Repetitious EP (February 2000) and The Bite EP (April 2000).
Following these releases The Slippery Roger spent almost two
years re-programming the equipment with pseudo-random pattern sequences.
The Slippery Roger exploded back onto the live music scene in early 2002
with a new emphasis on lyricism and performance. The new music has been
likened to a bizarre hybrid of Suicide and The Birthday Party, Atom and his
package forcing Trent Reznor down a deep black hole at gunpoint, Skinny Puppy
and Alec Empire.
New studio recordings should be available towards the end of January 2003.
Controversial, obscure and somewhat bizarre, the media has described The Slippery Roger as:
A one-man universe of pain. [Timeoff (Brisbane), July 2002]
A curious and fantastic combination of chopping ambience, digital
hardcore and industrial (think Aphex Twin in a blender with Skinny
Puppy, and can the euphemisms here, I'm not talking metaphorically!), drawing the listener into a hypnotised state of
dancing despite themselves. [OzMusic Project, September 2002]
And of the stage show:
Whether you loved him or hated him, you didn't dare look away. The
Slippery Roger is the most exciting artist out of Brisbane at
the moment, and he's a must to see live! [OzMusic Project,
September 2002]
