Whatever that is." Clouse was based in London for several years, where Shit And Shine was conceived in 2004.

I think what I meant is that Shit And Shine is pretty free and open to do anything, and TODD was strictly noise rock. That's me being a tough guy email cowboy, typing stupid shit for effect. Such pigeonholing does a huge disservice in this case, however, seeing as Shit And Shine have released everything from heavy metal perversion pieces to pounding and shiny techno.Ĭlouse once described Shit And Shine as his "fuck-all-y'all band", as opposed to other projects such as his since-defunct "rock band" TODD (who hardly sounded like Steppenwolf themselves). People sometimes file Shit And Shine under "noise rock" which is understandable because it is, objectively speaking, THE BEST GENRE. Even so, he's still managed to dabble in more styles than Picasso's favourite paintbrush. I'm too stupid to make that happen."īig pop may not be Craig Clouse's forte. They simply decided it was time to write a hit, and did just that. I play in a band with one of them here in Austin, Texas, called USA/MEXICO. I would fucking love to write something that sold more than 500 copies on vinyl. "Shit, are you kidding?! I've been trying my whole life. As Craig Clouse tells us, it's not for want of trying that his project has never scored a lucrative crossover smash. We are still awaiting Shit And Shine's equivalent ditty. Peel did not anticipate the Buttholes' Beck-ish hit single 'Pepper'. As Peel wrote in a 1987 Observer column, the noise-rockers' bawdy moniker suggested they were "not one of those bands hoping for a fun-run on the underground scene before exploding into big pop". Early Butthole Surfers, for instance, whose name was taken by the great John Peel to be a reassuring badge of integrity. They prove themselves the real deal, if you like. It can suggest they are vying a little too hard for attention and infamy, like desperate punkers Fuckshovel, the appropriate response being that meme of David Brent going, "Ooh, you're hard." And yet, every now and then, there comes an act that can truly back up the use of a good old expletive. It is sometimes off-putting when a band flaunts a naughty word, from the outset, in their very name.
