The Lords of Acid are a mega-cool super cult. Their songs and personas both scream sex, substance, style, and nether-darkness. For the Children of Acid the band needs no introduction- but here it is anyway- The Lords are a Belgian acid house/techno band from the 1990s that started as a spinoff of Praga Khan with the controversial New Beat single "I Sit on Acid" in 1988. Created by Jade 4U, Praga Khan, and Oliver Adams; their debut album, 1991's Lust (along with additional singles "Rough Sex" and "I Must Increase My Bust"), became famous within the electronic music and dance music communities for their outrageously sexual lyrics and sound samples. The band has completed six tours of America. They have headlined to over 280,000 fans during those tours. They have been our ambassadors of sexual curiosity, hilarity, and pranks. They have brought freedom and fun to our shores. Do not miss it.................................In late 1987, artist/performer Groovie Mann and musician Buzz McCoy met one night in a dark Chicago bar. Discovering their common love for tabloid newspaper tales of sex and Satan, kitschy horror flicks, and trashy exploitation films, the boys launched My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. Throughout their career Thrill Kill Kult helped develop the industrial music genre, and they themselves continued to evolve, creating a sound that wasn't easily identified or categorized. The band reflected a shift where dance records could be ominous and aggressive, and they laced their music with riffs and references that would seem more at home in a heavy metal group. One of their most distinctive characteristics is their use of spoken-word samples lifted from B-movies and other sources. Their most recent albums expanded on psychedelic house beats and grind house lounge sound, and explored new directions as well, such as the 1995 Interscope release Hit & Run Holiday, which combined the Kult's signature electronic sound with a psychedelic surf rock/go go theme reminiscent of 60s garage rock and more modern acts like The B-52's. The Thrill Kill Kult have certainly stood the test of time, and remain one of the true pioneers in today’s alternative music scene.
