Revolting Cocks started in 1985 as a side project, a place for Al Jourgensen of Ministry, Richard 23 of Front 242 and Luc Van Acker to blow off steam, and it grew into an American-Belgian industrial rock sometimes-supergroup with a revolving door and a filthy sense of humor. Out of Chicago and onto Wax Trax! Records, RevCo, as they are also known, took the grinding machinery of industrial music and dressed it up for a rowdy party.
Richard 23 was gone by 1987 and Chris Connelly joined in 1988, and around Jourgensen the cast kept changing, with Paul Barker and Bill Rieflin among the many names on the roll. Beers, Steers & Queers, in 1990, is them at full gallop: a title track that sounds like a bar brawl set to drum machines, with the tongue planted firmly in cheek.
Linger Ficken' Good... and Other Barnyard Oddities followed in 1993, featuring a sleazy, clanking "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?", which turned into one of the songs rock radio held on to. Van Acker stayed until 1993 and Connelly until 1994, but the project has never really closed its doors.
