Raymond Watts, the sole mastermind behind the post-industrial rock outfit PIG (or <PÎG>), has just announced a small set of tour dates, supported by Julien-K and Ghostfeeder, to support last year’s The Gospel. Watts made the announcement himself on his Twitter page, with the typically punny messages of “Pleasure yourself with lard…” and “Put some pork on your fork…” More tour dates are planned to be announced soon, so keep your eye out for that.
Watts goes under a variety of names (including Nainz, Nainz Watts, and Ray Scaballero), but he is most well known for being an early member and periodic collaborator of industrial legends KMFDM, and has been a notable presence in the industrial music scene since the early ’80s. He has toured with KMFDM, Nine Inch Nails, Schaft, Schwein, and Einsturzende Neubaten.
