Page 117 has a 5 1/2 x 3 inch advertisement for a upcoming "THRILL KILL CULT" performance at the BUILDING nightclub in Manhattan. (see images) Notice how this ad misspelled "KULT" here.
AI notes: On July 12, 1991, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult brought their flamboyant and provocative Sexplosion! tour to The Building, a famed New York City nightclub known for its gritty, underground energy. Touring in support of their third studio album Sexplosion!, the band delivered a visually decadent performance steeped in sleaze, camp, and industrial disco swagger. With pulsating basslines, funk-infused electronic beats, and a rotating cast of costumed vocalists, their set blended gothic cabaret with nightclub hedonism, all under thick clouds of stage smoke and red lighting. Described by critics at the time as “Sin-sational!” and a “cabaret from Hell,” the show embraced over-the-top theatrics that matched the album’s unapologetically sexual and subversive themes. The Building’s intimate yet raw atmosphere amplified the band’s signature blend of satire, sleaze, and sonic chaos, making the night a quintessential example of early ’90s underground club culture colliding with industrial shock rock at its most decadent.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
