Slick Idiot is a German electronic music band in the industrial music genre. It 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 did a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Terrible Lie" on Cleopatra Record's 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, which featured 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 of 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.
