ACTUALLY
PISSPOWERASSCHRIST is a transitory convulsion of the IRC zeitgeist. Unknowingly induced by esch, run with and ultimately curated by solios. The output of PPAC is an SSRI-induced perfect storm of something, and that months long high-volume ejaculation is now used in support of Among The Chosen.
Heavily influenced by Juno Reactor, Justin Broadrick, William Bennet, Merzbow, SPK, Leeb/Fulber (specifically early Delerium and middle Noise Unit) and American Standard toilets, the PISSPOWERASSCHRIST "sound" ranges from ambient noise to gutter-goa to synthpop to breakbeat industrial. Flush with echo effects, morse code beats, obscure samples and recorded bowel movements, the output (read: excrement) of PPAC is largely tongue-in-cheek; an even split of rhythmic and atmospheric, cheap and experimental. While the band's signature works have been described by co-founder Eric as (paraphrased) "Something I don't want to be known for," the output of PPAC is a unique blend of ambient, noise, experimental, dance, club and industrial with occasional hints of metal - and even more occasional hints of capability.
Taking the phrase "If you throw enough shit at the wall, something's going to stick" very literally, PPAC coordinator solios has produced a largely flatulent body of work that, at times, veers dangerously close to interesting. Accused of tone deafness as recently as 2010, under the auspices of a joke and under the influence of SSRIs, solios managed to congeal works of potential interest or value almost 10% of the time.
THE BEGINNING
21:30 < esch> Why do girls need to listen to the same music?
21:31 <@ejp> ...
21:31 < solios> it's a good indication of thought process or personality.
21:31 < esch> I disagree completely.
21:31 < solios> for example, "lenny kravitz" rings up as "shallow pothead" in my book.
21:31 <@ejp> it's also hard to stand a girl when she's always blaring pop shit or something.
21:31 < solios> yeah.
21:32 < solios> totally.
21:32 < solios> but if it's obscure shit nobody ever heard of- which is all I listen to- then it's grounds for a conversation.
21:32 < esch> I don't think Cinnamon and I have one common musical interest, but we get along swimmingly.
21:32 * Drusilla cranks up the britney spears
21:32 < esch> Oh, I get it.
21:32 * solios flogs Drusilla with Belinda Carlsisle
21:32 <@ejp> esch: didn't she, uh, leave you?
21:32 < esch> It's easier to limit yourself to the seven people that listen to Pisspowerasschrist, so that you don't have to bother with being rejected.
21:33 < esch> ejp: No. I left her.
21:33 < esch> And FYI, I spent most of tonight with her.
21:33 <@ejp> o_O
21:33 < solios> !!!
21:33 < solios> PISSPOWERASSCHRIST
21:33 <@ejp> solios: esch's meatmeats are broken.
21:33 < Drusilla> ...solios, you okay?
21:33 < solios> ejp: esch rocks.
21:33 < solios> PISSPOWERASSCHRIST
PISSPOWER
09:32 <@esch> PPAC MAKE YOUR FACE GO BOOM.
09:32 <@_Lasar> "If your face doesn't bleed, you're not down with PPAC."
09:36 <@solios> dude.
09:36 <@solios> we could be the first international noise band whose members have never actually met each other.
09:36 <@_Lasar> haha.
09:36 <@_Lasar> Except half of mp3.com :/
09:36 <@esch> Talk about making fucking history.
PISSPOWERASSCHRIST : Putting the POWER back in ASS. As opposed to putting the ASS back in POWER. Hardcore arrythmic NOISE.
09:02 <@esch> solios: you should record you dragging the outside of a computer case on concrete, lay some static behind it and label it Pisspowerasschrist and see if it propagates.
09:03 <@_Lasar> esch: It would be better than most of the MTV charts. Though without backing of a record company, no hit.
09:03 <@solios> PISSPOWERASSCHRIST
09:04 <@solios> pisspowerasschrist++
09:06 <@solios> esch: I could do that.
09:08 <@esch> You should. then send me the files, and I'll dub someone vomitting on top of them.
09:08 <@_Lasar> Make a video out of it, too.
09:09 <@solios> :o
09:10 <@_Lasar> And put recordings of people being in shock shouting "oh my gawd" for 15 minutes straight after the second plane on 9/11
09:10 <@_Lasar> That's more annoying than the standard fingernails on chalkboard noise.
09:11 <@solios> nah.
09:11 <@esch> we could _be_ Pisspowerasschrist.
09:11 <@solios> speaking or reading "post-9/11" is more annoying than the fingernails bit. Or getting kicked in the nuts with a bulldozer.
09:11 <@solios> yeah.
09:11 <@solios> that would kick ass.
09:11 <@solios> we'd be like whitehouse, only we'd suck.
09:11 <@solios> it would rule.
PISSPOWERASSCHRIST :
INTERNATIONAL POWER NOISE.
So international that the entire band has never met. Ever. Or even so much as talked on the phone. Not even once.
09:58 <@_Lasar> How in hell did you think of the thundercock?
09:58 <@esch> That's the album title.
09:58 <@esch> Well, it is now.
09:58 <@_Lasar> THUNDERCOCKS ARE GO!
09:59 <@solios> THUNDERCOCK
10:00 <@_Lasar> That's what it is.
10:01 <@_Lasar> So when we're playing live, will there be a live webcast for my angry german vocals?
10:01 <@esch> There will have to be.
10:01 <@solios> heh.
10:01 <@_Lasar> Better yet, "live" will mean all of us sitting at home on our asses.
10:01 <@esch> If we were ever to meet, PPAC would implode.
10:01 <@solios> esch would have to play unix by modem.
10:01 <@_Lasar> And there will be video screens for everybody.
10:02 <@_Lasar> Like kraftwerk, only different.
10:02 <@solios> like kraftwerk, only bad.
10:02 <@solios> :D
10:02 <@_Lasar> Yes.
10:03 <@esch> Like kraftwerk, only _pissing_.
10:03 <@_Lasar> There will be no crowd either. The video screens will be filmed by a camera standing in front of the stage.
10:03 <@_Lasar> And Angry!
10:03 <@solios> PISSPOWERASSCHRIST : KILGORE TROUT, THE BAND.
And history was made.
