Foetus

Foetus is a solo musical project of the Australian musician, JG Thirlwell. The project has had many similar names, each including the word "foetus".note The "members" of the project are aliases of Thirlwell; they include Frank Want, Phillip Toss, and Clint Ruin. Thirlwell occasionally collaborates with other artists, but does not consider them members of Foetus. In 1981 after the breakup of PragVEC, Thirlwell started his own solo music project under the name of "Foetus Under Glass." After the album "Thaw" Thirlwell stopped changing the name and kept it as Foetus. In November 1983, Foetus undertook a tour with Marc Almond, Nick Cave and Lydia Lunch in the quickly dissolved 'partnership' known as The Immaculate Consumptive. He has also appeared on albums recorded by The The, Einsturzende Neubauten, Nurse With Wound and Anne Hogan.Gash was issued in 1995, which led to acknowledgment from music journalists of Foetus's role in the development of industrial music.
