I thought Whitehouse were crap live. I even went back a second time to make sure, and I was right first time.
You go ahead and enjoy yourself though, don't let me stop you.

Some people really like them. Some people don't. It's a complete mystery. There doesn't seem to be such a thing as a 'good' or 'bad' show. Some people like them, some people don't.
I forgot I've actually seen them 3 times, but once I was E'd up, so it was bound to sound good.

i've heard that they aren't as intense now as they used to be... when and where did you see them, Glice? are you a fan of their records?

Was this yesterday? How was it?
I saw them in London each time... different venues. The one with the pills was Slimelight (goth/ industrial club, fairly notorious if you know London nightlife), the others were weird little venues that I've not seen since and can't remember the names of. I've seen consumer electronics a few times, he seems to turn up supporting a lot of noise shows around the UK. Equally not very interesting to me. I do like some of their records, yeah, but I don't really need to listen to them all. I occasionally have days where they're really relaxing, I don't listen to them very often at all.

I didn't go and see Whitehouse when they played here. Didn't really appeal... I too have seen Consumer Electronics and it was the most tedious, painful bollocks ever. I like a lot of harsh stuff, sure....but the music was really shrill and tedious. If I could have made out what he was ranting it may have been better but I couldn't understand a word. I hope these guys appreciate how fucking hilarious they are...I'm fairly sure Whitehouse do and I'm sure Throbbing Gristle did.....But there are so many imitators that are just a bit limp.

I concur entirely. Whitehouse were incredibly important to noise, but I don't think they've evolved with time. That is, of course, part of their aesthetic. But that doesn't mean I have to be interested 20 years after they ceased to be vital and interesting.

Who would name their band after the President's house? Are they any good?

they are named after Mary Whitehouse, the anti censorship campaigner. there was also a British porn mag entitled Whitehouse which was a also a source of inspiration I believe. Google Susan Lawly and you'll find a sweet whitehouse website with an interesting FAQ.
