Piss Piss Piss Moan Moan Moan had the hOnOrs of collaborating with OnO, Chicago's no wave/experimental/art-noise group circa 1980, at the November 21 2008 Million Tongues Festival at the Empty Bottle in Chicago. It was awesome to do this and play along luminaries as Terry Reid (guy who opened the Rolling Stones infamous Altamont concert, weird) and Mark Fry among others lysergic icons. We went as Piss Piss Piss OnO OnO OnO!
OnO (pictured above) started during the 80s by Travis, P. Michael and Ric Graham. As one of Al's Jourgensen (of Ministry fame) early bands he was involved with, Special Affect, dissolved Joe Carducci had invited him to release some of their music on their STT distributed label Thermidor - home to bands like SPK and Birthday Party domestically. Al reccomended the music from OnO thus producing their first record "Machines that Kill". A second record came out called "Ennui" and hopefully, since Carducci passed the music rights back to OnO not too long ago, they should be able to rerelease this piece of midwestern No Wave history soon.
Now get your fix here as P. has posted some of their early gigs here:
Video of performance coming soon!
