Artist History Once upon a time, deep within the bowels of the Dismal Swamp, there were three little monkeys. One afternoon while eating bananas and swinging from tree vines, one of the little monkeys spotted what he thought would make a great dip for his rather bland banana. Little did he know that this was a barrel of radioactive waste lost by our ever so competent governing body. After several seizures, nose bleeds,rashes on his ass and explosive vomiting episodes he became what is now known as THE Thing. Being just one step below humans on the evolutionary scale he felt it necessary to make all those around him miserable freaks themselves and wasted no time in convincing the other little monkeys to eat the infectious goo as well. Well... its 2K2 and these little monkeys are pissed.

Group Members THE Thing and a rotating cast of freaks.

Press Reviews "Skinny Puppy on crack"- Illiois Entetainer, "Their industrial punk attitude and gruff mix of electronics and guitars provides a noisy and high spirited experience. -OutBurn #8-------It's nice to hear an electronic artist who works lots of changes into (their) music rather than hitting "loop" on (their) sequencer(s).-Industrial Nation #16 -------"...noise terrorism superimposed upon droning, evil carnie music."-In_Faction #4
