who says "FUCK ART LET'S KILL"?
His Holiness the Pope
Could someone knowledgable out there please tell me which group has the t-shirt
that says "FUCK ART LET'S KILL". Some of the people i've asked think it's
Thrill Kill Kult, others say it's probably Sonic Youth, but nobody can tell me
for sure.
Also, any additional info about this quote ("fuck art let's kill") or the band
that made it would be greatly appreciated. Particularly: does the quote come
from a song or album, or is it just on the t-shirt? who are the members of the
band, and is there any one particular member who is known to be responsible for
that quote?
Please respond by e-mail, as I may not be able to check these groups anytime
in the near future.
Thanks a lot for your help!

ChemLab. I just saw STG play here in long beach and two of the members
were wearing the t-shirt. It had "Fuck Art Lets Kill" on one side and "Chem
Lab" on the other.

Either TKK and Sonic Youth did the same thing, or the people you have asked
are mistaken.

No idea bout the menaing behind the quote. Chem Lab is an industrial band
out of Washington DC as I recall. They have been getting more coverage as
of late.

for White Zombie.
Their major album is "Burn Out At The Hydrogen Bar" (Fifth Column
3984-14013-2). Their first indie release "Ten Ton Pressure" is
out of print. They plan on reissuing it with added tracks in early
94. There's also a 12" promo comp on Metalblade which has a remix
of "Codiene, Glue and You" that I have.
On the t-shirt front: They been selling the "Fuck Art Let's Kill"
for a while. The band was selling them for $10 the first time
they came to Dallas. Last night at the White Zombie gig, they were
$20 at the concession stand. There was also one with a quasi
chemical formula on the front and an integrated circuit on the back.
I've also seen one of the cover of "Burnout..."
At the shows, Jared, the lead singer, gave away a new Chemlab
shirt that on the back said "I FUCKED CHEMLAB".
In the studio, Chemlab is basically, Jared the singer and Dylan
the keyboardist. On tour, they add a drummer and two guitarists.
One of the guitar players, Krayge Tyler, is also in the band Virus
23, who are also very good, IMHO.

You can get a tshirt like this directly from Fifth column for $15, or WE
NEVER SLEEP is selling a generic version for I forget what.
I was wearing this tshirt at a Babyland concert and some guy who looked
about 40 says to me, "That slogan brings back memories. The saying used to
be 'Fuck Art, Let's Dance'. So maybe Chemlab adapted the slogan from this
rebellious disco culture.
Anyway, not the kind of tshirt you want to wear around town, with the huge
wave of crime paranoia going around.

I believe I saw that on Chemlab shirts and posters at their show about
three years ago. Also saw it in the womens bathroom here at UCSC. ;)

As far as I know it's a variant on two slogans: "Fuck art, let's dance", and
the inevitable "Fuck art, let's fuck" which have been around since at least
the late '70s or early '80s, mostly on t-shirts over here.

No, they are from the DC area, but have been based in NYC for a
while. At least that's what Jared told me in an interview
last summer.

well, though chemlab has been promoting that particular saying as of late,
Nivek Ogre wore a similar shirt during Ministry's "In Case..." tour, so
chemlab did not dream it up, but as far as the original origin goes, i can't
say. re/search publications has that shirt for sale, also. (if that helps
at all).

Well accually, the earliest that I saw it was on the Contagion CD in the line
"All all the fans and stations who understand..Fuck Art, Let's Kill."
The album came out in early '92
Just my 2 cents

I first saw a "Fuck Art, Let's Kill" shirt on Jim Thirlwell, many many years
ago (pre-Chemlab). It has a bunch of replicated pictures of guns on the
front with the slogan printed above and below, I think.
As for the predecessors, there was the "Fuck Art, Let's Dance" t-shirt with a
picture of a Northern Soul dancer on it. This came from the Ska Revival/Mod
era (1979-on). It might have been associated with Madness (the band (-: ).
And, as someone else mentioned, there was the inevitable "Fuck Art, Let's Fuck"
knockoffs ...
I'll resist the temptation to make the meta-comment that Chemlab, like most
Industrial these days, can't think of anything original to say :-) :-) :-)

In the video "Incase you didn't feel like showing up", some guy in Ministry
is wearing one.

they had them made themselves. but you can check it out yourself.

"FUCK ART LET'S KILL" is the motto of ChemLab, a Washington DC based
Industrial Group. One of my friends is their agent for Fifth Column
Records. They are working on a project with White Zombie and the
album should be out before they go on tour together.
