Chris Connelly is a Scottish-born musician and writer whose career spans from the industrial and post-punk scenes of the 1980s to a wide range of solo and collaborative projects. Beginning with Rigor Mortis (later Fini Tribe) and continuing through Revolting Cocks, Ministry, and Pigface, Chris's work is an exercise in constant reinvention and movement between genres. His later solo work, including Whiplash Boychild, Shipwreck, and Blonde Exodus, reflects a shift toward melodic, literate songwriting, while his books and collaborations, such as The High Confessions, demonstrate his continuing interest in music as narrative and experimentation.
