PG is Raymond Watts, a British musician whose brand of electronic rock is danceable and deadly serious in turn. Wattss words spring from the well of gallows humour in a world of corruscating cruelty and truth. PG climbs peaks and mines troughs, and musical genres slide and collide like tectonic plates. Berlin yearsIn 1986 Raymond Watts awoke in West Berlin. It was a time of terror and turmoil, in a city so depraved and decadent that the East Germans had walled it in. Watts had cut his teeth on tape loops in London and Hamburg, but inspired by Berlins fetid air and his first 8-bit sampler, Watts gave birth to PG in 1988, when PG was cut from his belly with a rusty screwdriver in a basement opposite The Wall. The first squeals were committed to tape, and saw the light of day as A Poke in the Eye. Wax Trax! jumped to release it.A year earlier, in Hamburg, he was bludgeoning the first KMFDM album into shape with En Esch and Sascha Konietzko. He had also helped deliver the sonic slaughter of Einsturzende Neubauten, Psychic TV and most of the Berlin and Hamburg underground, as both live and studio sound engineer, and producer.After writing the music for the second KMFDM album, Watts then slipped away to tour with Foetus, playing keyboards and guitar.Praise the LardWhen The Wall collapsed, the party was over. Watts returned to London and PG albums poured forth: Praise the Lard, A Stroll in the Pork, Shit For Brains, Red Raw & Sore and The Swining. Watts programmed, produced and performed, ploughing a lone furrow until Karl Hyde, singer and sinner with Underworld, came to his assistance on guitars followed by Steve White.Watts had also developed a taste for all things Japanese. His label was based there, his morals were parked there and PG had toured there many times. He was soon involved with a highly successful bunch of neer-do-wells called Schaft. Their album Switchblade, and a sold-out tour, followed.Back to Wax Trax!In 1994, PG opened for NIN. This led to PGs Sinsation album being released on Nothing Records — and then a return to Wax Trax! for Wrecked.Watts also rejoined KMFDM in 1994, for the PG v KMFDM EP Sin, Sex & Salvation. On the ensuing album Nihil Watts resumed writing and vocal duties and several heaving tours followed, with Watts orchestrating the chaos from centre stage like a rampant ringmaster armed only with talent and tequila.
