Skinny Puppy - Hexonxonx by Derrighan [ Cover ]

In August 1997, on the second anniversary of Dwayne Goettel's death, a Skinny Puppy tribute concert was organized in Houston, Texas at The Abyss nightclub. (article: http://www.houstonpress.com/1997-08-21/music/static/ ) This is Hexonxonx as performed by the short-lived Derrighan.

We had a lot of fun doing this. For Skinny Puppy fans, I hope you enjoy Joey's programming. I think he did a fantastic job of balancing cover and tribute. Please notice his instrument selections, added whimsical flair and some of the different samples.

For friends and family - yes, this really happened. Hey, it was the 90's!

Music and programming: Joseph Jaime
Vocals: Billy Ford
Promotion/Management: Jason Whitmire

For those interested, the first song (of three) we did was Morpheus Laughing. I really like the sequencing Joey had done for it. But, unfortunately, this particular cameraman (Breye 7x/Kiser form the band Provision) showed up late. I wonder if any video exists of the entire performance, including all bands. That would be sweet!

Ahh, the old Amiga BBS days. Houston scene. ACME, where are you now? Multiple lines! Doors games!

I remember Joey composing some of those mods. He was always reluctant to release them, feeling they weren't quite done. And, yes, his style is always evident. Even in a Skinny Puppy cover - or a Beatles or Christmas tune, for that matter.

Did I change the lyrics to "Exxon, your black fart made it stink!"?? What was I twelve?!? LOL

The irony of performing a Skinny Puppy song in cargo shorts and a backwards baseball cap....like you're on Spring Break or something! Yet it works because your programing and vocals are so dead on. These are fantastic covers!

Great f***ing covers!

[gorski983]

Woe yeah this is a very tasteful and well done cover!
