Making music on the fringe since punk ignited in the late 1970s, Genesis P-orridge has developed an impressively large and uncompromising body of work as a member of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic Tv, among others. Initially shunned for his attempts to expose the hidden taboos of what he considered a corrupt and complacent society, P-orridge's integrity and persistence eventually won him a sizable cult following, both in England and the United States.
Born Neil Megson, Genesis P-orridge's controversial performing career began in Hull, England, in 1969. That year, he formed the abrasive improv outfit COUM Transmissions with then-partner Cosey Fanni Tutti. Unable to find many clubs willing to book the band's blend of fluxus-influenced performance art and industrialized punk rock, the collective often took to the streets, setting up at various outdoor locations throughout the city. Eventually acquiring grant money, COUM established a communal live-work space in Hull before moving to London after two members were arrested.
