Last Skinny Puppy show EVER at the Paramount. Fuck yeah I paid the scalper. It was supposed to be at the Neptune, which is the crappiest venue in Seattle, but it sold out in 15 minutes because apparently this here town really likes its howly abstract industrial.

Gonna be playing a lot more Skinny Puppy on the show I tell you what.

How influential is the band? Oscar winner Trent Reznor once described his first Nine Inch Nails single, “Down In It” as a “total rip-off” of Skinny Puppy’s “Dig It”. (One of the earliest versions of NIN toured with the group as the opening act in the late ’80s). And Vancouver-raised Grimes has called Skinny Puppy one of most important bands of her life.

I bought this on VHS. It took six weeks to arrive. A bully that used to terrorize me stopped as soon as I painted a Skinny Puppy logo on the back of my leather jacket. Two weeks later he got Ogre's haircut.

My daughter tried to make a Skinny Puppy logo balloon animal. It was epic. She's about due for her first concert... but i'm thinking it'll be Ladytron.
