Jean-Louis Costes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean-Louis Costes is a noise musician. He was once married to Lisa Crystal Carver, and he helped write the backing noise-opera music of the Suckdog Circus, and was also a performer in Suckdog, along with Carver, Dame Darcy, Coz the Shroom and others. Costes has released many albums, including Hung by the Dick from Nihilist Records. Costes has been described as the French version of GG Allin.
Some of his albums have been banned in his native country of France for their obscenity.
In 2004, he performed the Holy Virgin Cult show across the United States, scaring audiences away with a barrage of flung feces, urine, tortured screaming, public sex and religious flagellation.
He also appeared in the 2002 film Irréversible[1] by Gaspar Noe and the 2003 film Life Pornography by Edwin Brienen.
In 2007, Costes and Lisou Prout completed the Les Petits Oiseaux Chient (Little Birds Shit) tour across the United States and Canada.
