SKINNY PUPPY BIO
Skinny Puppy formed in 1983 with an
original line-up of cEvin Key (Kevin Crompton, at that time a member of
In-between 1986 and 1992, Skinny
Puppy, consisting of vocalist/conceptualist Ogre, programmer/percussionist
cEvin Key, synthesist Dwayne Goettel, and producer extraordinaire Dave 'Rave'
Ogilvie, toured North America 6 times (1986-1987-1988-1990-1992) and Europe 3
times (1986-1987-1988), garnering rave reviews and achieving much notoriety on
both continents for their extreme and visceral live performances and
hard-hitting political commentary. Their recorded output was prolific and
ever-evolving, ranging from the creepy horror-film ambience of 'Cleanse Fold
And Manipulate' and the medical horrors of 'VIVIsectVI', to the environmental
mutation of '
After their 1992 North American tour
for the 'Last Rights' album, and after the fulfillment of their contract with
Nettwerk Records, the band decided to become free agents and entertain offers
from several major labels. They eventually agreed to sign to American
Recordings--a move that would eventually see chaos and tragedy fracture and
ultimately decimate the band.
Work began on their album, 'The
Process', in 1994, and these recording sessions were plagued by a series of
unfortunate natural disasters, label confusion, and personal disagreements.
Longtime producer/catalyst and 4th member Dave Ogilvie was not included in the
initial recordings as the label reportedly sought a more proven commercial
name, and the band began to unravel as members, producers, and management were
at constant odds and disagreed about the group's musical direction. On June 12,
1995, Ogre officially left Skinny Puppy to pursue his longtime solo project
W.E.L.T. (later to be called Ohgr), which was immediately signed to American in
the wake of Puppy's demise. Meanwhile, the Puppy album was stuck in legal limbo
as the remainder of the band battled the label for control of the recordings.
Key and Goettel, along with friends Mark Spybey (of Dead Voices on Air), Phil
'Philth' Western, Anthony 'Fu' Valcic, and Ken 'Hiwatt' Marshall, began work on
their new band Download. On September 23, 1995, Dwayne Goettel was found dead
of a heroin overdose at his parents' home in
Following Dwayne's death, cEvin
reunited with Dave Ogilvie to complete the semi-finished Puppy album that was
to be 'The Process'. American agreed to release it, and in 1996, Skinny Puppy's
final album was unleashed to the world.
Eventually emancipated from the
American deal, Key continued working on Download, as well as the
As Key released numerous albums with
a variety of collaborators and friends, Ogre was busy re-working on his Ohgr
album with producer Mark Walk, which remained unreleased due to label trouble with
American. He also spent time recording an album with longtime friend Martin
Atkins from Pigface (as Rx), and did some guest stints with KMFDM and Pigface.
The duo of Ogre and Key cast aside
their differences in 2000 to perform a Skinny Puppy live show at the Doomsday
Festival in
