Throbbing Gristle ‘Live at the Volksbühne, Berlin, New Year’s Eve, 2005’ 2xLP

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 Throbbing Gristle’s first encore in 25/26 years, which included iconic songs like ‘Convincing People’, ‘Slug Bait’ and ‘Hamburger Lady’. 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.
