This video was sitting in storage for 21 years before I finally had the desire to digitize it and send it out to the world.
Shot on a JVC MiniDV camcorder the quality has degraded a bit but it is charming. This piece will also be showcased in Chicago at the Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music.
Founded by Martin Atkins of Public Image Ltd, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Pigface and Killing Joke.

ohGr is an American industrial band formed by Nivek Ogre and Mark Walk of Skinny Puppy. Early ohGr releases incorporated hip hop and synth-pop influences, and in contrast to Skinny Puppy, utilized conventional structures and a lighter tone. Ogre noted that this direction was inspired by the pop bands he enjoyed as a child, such as The Archies.[1] However, in releases such as Devils in my Details, ohGr has taken to a more abrasive, non-linear flavour of electro-industrial, while continuing to release pop albums such as 2018's Tricks.

The band toured in 2001 to support the release of their debut album Welt; the live band consisted of Nivek Ogre, Tim Sköld (bass), cEvin Key (drums, keyboards), Loki der Quaeler (keyboards), and William Morrison (guitars). 2003 saw the release of a follow up, SunnyPsyOp (a play on the phrase "sunny side up" and military PsyOps). There were initially plans to tour for SunnyPsyOp, with Ministry in a festival type arrangement. These plans fell through, although much of the material from the second album had already been played live on the Welt tour.
