About Curse Mackey
Austin, Texas based artist Curse Mackey is best known as lead singer of industrial supergroup PIGFACE and notorious Texas Tribal-industrial legends EVIL MOTHERS and as a periodic member of My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. Mackey has now launched a solo electronic-industrial project that includes new material and revamps of classic Pigface and Evil Mothers songs (including Spider Sex and Car Wrecks). Curse's sound is a future forward homage to the experimental side of industrial music, with doom fueled drones, sinister synth pulsations and dirty-minded beats layered upon hypnotic noise manipulations, scream of conscious lyrical prose and near trance inducing improvisations that evoke the ghosts of Throbbing Gristle, early Skinny Puppy, Lustmord, Coil, and the iconic projects Mackey has been a part of.
In addition to his live projects, Curse is a notable DJ on the darkwave, indie dance, industrial circuit. He DJs all vinyl sets as well as hardware/digital sets and endorses PioneerUSA DJ gear and Alienware computer systems.
Mackey is also very active as an event producer/promoter and art curator with two published books “DRAW” and “RIDES OF PASSAGE”.
