• "This is the first of what we hope will be a long line of publications that we have decided to simply call 'Industrial News.' The main purpose being to keep all interested parties informed of developments at 'Head office' (or TG/HQ) [i.e., Throbbing Gristle Headquarters]." Distribution limited to those who communicated with "TG/HQ" directly by mail .—From "Note of Introduction," June 1978.
• The publication was a communications outlet for the avant-garde music and arts group Throbbing Gristle, which featured the singer/pornography star/performance artist Cosey Fanni Tutti (born Christine Newby, 4 November 1951, Hull, England). The pornographic aspects of her work have become known as "Coseyporn."
• Includes news of the group Throbbing Gristle and its members, interviews with group members, song lyrics, and book and music reviews.
• "Throbbing Gristle was an English industrial, avant-garde music and visual arts group that evolved from the performance art group COUM Transmissions. The band consisted of Genesis P-Orridge (born Neil Megson--bass guitar, violin, vocals, vibraphone), Cosey Fanni Tutti (born Christine Newby--guitars, cornet, vocals), Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (tapes, found sounds, horns, piano, vibraphone, synthesizer), and Chris Carter (synthesizers, tapes, electronics). Formed in 1975, the band is widely viewed, along with contemporaries such as Cabaret Voltaire, as having created the industrial music genre. The group disbanded in 1981, but the individual members went on to participate in numerous other projects, and reformed in 2004 for a second stint before disbanding again in 2010 after the death of Peter Christopherson."—From Wikipedia.
