Costes

Jean-Louis Costes's noise music albums can be described as "wild, chaotic screechfests through dark Freudian terrain". One-time husband of Lisa Crystal Carver, 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.
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 (apparently) flung feces, urine, tortured screaming, public sex and religious flagellation.
