What is the Introspect Void Collective?

Well it gets a little complex. First it was a band, then a house, then a collective of friends, artists, programmers and space mutants, then a couple of more houses, then a small lump of purple proteins, then back to being a band and now all of the above.

The band started out as the head of the snake but was soon swallowed and now resides somewhere near the badly damaged liver as a fully functional industrial music making tumor.

Who is in the Collective?

Well if you are currently in one of the related bands or have been in the past or future you are in the collective. Of course if you are from the future we expect you to already know the secret handshake. If you have ever helped the collective with an artistic endeavor or hung around as a welcomed loiterer and liquor caddy during the endeavor you should consider yourself part of the collective. If you have ever been asked what you thought about a song and you answered “I would rather staple my (testicle and/or labia) to my thigh before I will listen to that song again” you are held in high regard and can hang. If you have ever painted J. R. Bob Dobbs with J. G. “ Foetus” Thirlwell and a bottle of absinth riding a fleshy dune worm upon a velvet canvas you need help and should consider yourself groovy by us. If you have ever had sex with you sibling or half-sibling you are NOT part of the collective. Go away. If you have ever been drunk while DJing at a radio station and passed out while playing one of our CDs during a classical show you are awesome. If you have ever pierced one of our nipples and not laughed at us after we passed out you can be sure we will not object to you saying you are in the collective. If you have been invited to one of our parties and NOT shot up in our bathroom you are well on your way to being considered a collective participant. If you have ever discovered an astronomical body (especially a near earth object that might strike) and named it (on the books) after I.V. you are in the collective. If you have ever hunted demons for 11 hours straight on a LAN in the dark while wearing headphones and talking over boom mics with delay and reverb resulting in slight dementia with some of us you are in the collective. Pretty much if you like to do bizarre artistic stuff with us you are in the collective.
