Slick Idiot was formed by former KMFDM members Günter Schulz and En Esch, following the 1999 breakup of KMFDM. Before taking on the name Slick Idiot, En Esch and Günter Schulz contributed a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Terrible Lie" to Cleopatra Records' Covered In Nails 2: A Tribute To Nine Inch Nails. After releasing DickNity for purchase online, Slick Idiot, with core live members Mel Fuher & drummer/programmer Michael J. Carrasquillo, embarked on the "High Life for Low Lives" US Tour in 2002. Cleopatra Records then re-released DickNity with a bonus remix by Christoph Schneider of Rammstein. In late 2003, Esch and Schulz joined as members of Pigface for the "United II" tour. In October 2004 Screwtinized was released online via their website and garnered rave reviews. En Esch toured again with Pigface on the "Free For All" US Tour in 2005, while Schulz devoted his time to forming the side project SCHULZ with vocalist Jeff Borden.[1] In 2006, Slick Idiot completed a full US tour called the "xSCREWciating Tour", with More Machine Than Man. The tour saw the addition of live members Gregg Ziemba on drums and Victoria Levy on vocals.
As a tribute to the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, which took place in Austria and Switzerland, and to the Austrian capital Vienna, Slick Idiot recorded a version of one of the most famous traditional Austrian songs ever, "Wien, Du Stadt meiner Träume", written by Rudolf Sieczynski. The song was released on May 12, 2008 as a digital download only.
Slick Idiot toured through the United States in fall of 2009, performing almost 50 shows in 2 months. The band released the album S U C K S E S S on September 4, 2009.
On May 29, 2010, Slick Idiot began the "Sucksess 2010 USA Tour" in Phoenix, Arizona and continued their tour around the United States. Singer Mona Mur appears as a featured guest to perform songs from 120 Tage - The Fine Art of Beauty and Violence, a collaboration album between Mur and Esch.
They have since taken on drummer Ethan Moseley, and have Toured Canada extensively.
Operating out of the wastelands of Southern Ontario, Promonium Jesters play psychedelic industrial thrash music, incorporating elements of metal, noise, ambient, trance, and digital hardcore with a heavy emphasis on experimentation.
Promonium Jesters were formed by Ethan Moseley and Greg Cox in 1995 in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. Since that time the band has recorded and released over 11 albums and singles through their own label, P in a Circle Records.
The band has been performing live around the Toronto area since 1996, but it wasn't until the release of Your Face in 2007 that Promonium Jesters embarked on their first cross Canada tour. Since then, the band has undergone over 10 tours in Canada, and have played over 100 shows.
A Promonium Jesters performance is a multimedia event. The band utilizes a custom built home made light show, as well as a multiple video projector set up showing videos made by the band, adding chaotic visual overload to the wall of sound. To date, Promonium Jesters have shared the stage with a diverse range of performers such as 16volt, Chemlab, Slick Idiot, 3 Inches of Blood, Hanzel Und Gretyl, and Merzbow.
