Genesis Breyer P-Orridge & White Stains, 23 years after “At Stockholm”!
I’m slowly but pretty surely preparing the video documentation of the concert White Stains played together with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge in Gothenburg on June 29th 2013. It was a truly wonderful evening at the jazz club Nefertiti. The concert was part of an ESSWE (European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism) event at Gothenburg University, organised by professor Henrik Bogdan and Chris Giudice. This was the first time White Stains had performed live since 1993, and this evening we were, not unexpectedly, pure Cotton Ferox: Thomas Tibert, Eriq Olin and myself. We called the evening At Gothenburg, in reference to the album we made with Genesis in 1990: At Stockholm.
Before Genesis came on stage, I recited the lyrics from the first three White Stains 7″ singles (“The Crowley Colour Trio”), The Energy, The Awareness and The Result, to honour that early and very exciting phase. And as Aleister Crowley’s birthday (October 12th) approached this year, I found it appropriate to share this section from the video (shot by Patrik Lager). Enjoy!
