Head Like A Hole - "Comfortably Shagged"

Wellington band 'Head Like A Hole' named themselves after a 'Nine Inch Nails' song, although, I haven't had it confirmed but they formed not long after NIN released the song "Head Like A Hole" as a single. They built up a reputation as one of the greatest live bands in NZ during the 90's along with fellow Wellington band 'Shihad'.... they also shared the same manager as Shihad the late Gerald Dwyer. Their live performances in the early days were usually naked or otherwise on stage caked in mud. They imploded, as they say, around 2000 but have just recently reformed. "Comfortably Shagged" is from their fourth album 'Are You Gonna Kiss It Or Shoot It?' released in 1998. It's funny, after listening to this again it kind of reminds me of Grinderman. Anyway, this was HLAH at the end of their first incarnation and let's hope their reincarnation is as fruitful.
