A vintage interview and concert from industrial legends
Skinny Puppy has surfaced online. The interview took place prior to the band's show in Winnepeg on December 19th, 1985 and eventually aired along with the concert on the Canadian community access tv show
Alternative Rockstand! At that point Skinny Puppy had just released their full length album Bites, which followed the six song EP
Remission and super limited edition EP
Back & Forth. The Skinny Puppy episode of
Alternative Rockstand includes an introduction by the show host
Dan Pachet, who described the concert as "death rock" and "rather depressing music." Pachet warned viewers about the dark quality of the footage and went on to say, "it's not a show for everybody. The people who saw it, some of them actually walked out in the middle of the show, it just wasn't quite for them." Check out the concert and interview below. A second video with just the interview footage is also posted below. Via
Dead Red Velvet.
Concert with Skinny Puppy begins after some educational info on beavers. No, really.
