SLICK IDIOT
Slick Idiot was formed by former KMFDM members Günter Schulz and En Esch following th...e 1999 breakup of KMFDM which was rebirthed as MDFMK, without Esch and other members, before returning to the original KMFDM title in 2002 with a different line up. Before taking on the name Slick Idiot En Esch and Günter Schulz did a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Terrible Lie" on 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, hit the road on a summer tour of North America ("High Life for Low Lives" US Tour 2002). Later, Cleopatra Records re-released DickNity with a bonus remix by Christoph Schneider of Rammstein. In late 2003, En Esch and Günter 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 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 (MMTM). The outing saw the addition of live members Gregg Ziemba on drums and Victoria Levy on vocals.
Slick Idiot will be touring through the United States in 2009, performing at almost 50 shows in 2 months. The band also released their new album "S U C K S E S S" on September 4, 2009. It is available exclusively at shows on their "In the Flesh" tour, with a commercial release to follow.

RAILER
Having been discovered by non other than Martin Atkins of Ministry/Killing Joke/PIL fame. Railer took its pop industrial sound and brought it to the attention of the masses with the release of "FRAME of MIND". Supporting PIGFACE and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult for Invisible records tours and headlining "The New National Anthem Tour" Railer cut its teeth with the best. Now with the follow up album: Ones and Zeros set to be released in 2010 RAILER's brand of electro-rock has been taking listeners by force. Pulsing with wet vocals, over-driven drum machines, vintage synthesizers and experimental guitar fuzz has led RAILER to creating their own style of danceable noise.

"...Familiar Bowie-esque 70s and 80s pre and post punk styles coupled with Gary Numan sneer and biteing 90s style guitar hooks. All washed over by a cool filter of commercial glitz and pop sensible appeal. ...
