JG Thirlwell

Known mainly for Foetus, JG Thirlwell has he’s also recorded, released and performed music under several other names as well, including:

• Clint Ruin
• Steroid Maximums
• Manorexia
• Baby Zizaien
• Xordox

In fact, the first time I heard Thirlwell work, I had no idea that Foetus was even a thing, I just knew that whoever the Clint Ruin who collaborated with Lydia Lunch had a unique, amazing sound. Had i put two and two together, I would have learned of Foetus much earlier than I did.

My thoughts

I always say, wearing band T-shirts is a great way to find my “people”. Usually Gogol Bordello gets the comments.

Today I showed up at a barber shop trying to get a last minute haircut and the owner was about to turn me away until one of the guys there saw me wearing a Foetus tee - he liked it and we started talking music, then all of a sudden there’s an opening.

How about them apples?
