The Hair and Skin Trading Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hair and Skin Trading Company is a United Kingdom drone / avant-noise group formed in 1991 by ex Loop members Neil Mackay (vocals/bass) and John Wills (drums). Joined by ex-Savage Opera guitarist Nigel Webb, they released their debut album Jo in Nine G Hell on Beggars Banquet in 1992. Their first two ablums the bear influences of My Bloody Valentine, and The Skids, while the vocal delivery can be compared to The Fall's Mark E Smith.[1] By third album, 1995's Faust like Psychedelische Musique, The Hair and Skin Trading Company had dispensed with all conventional rock elements, and few of its songs bear titles; instead are denoted by letters or symbols.
