My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult go classic this week at the Abbey

Even amongst the gloriously loose moral standards of the Wax Trax Records roster circa the early 1990s, there were none more depraved than My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult.

Proudly pro-Satan, eagerly pro-drugs, sex-forward and more than willing to resuscitate the then-tattered critical rep of disco, TKK had it all ... if you were a degenerate. Oh, but there were plenty of them/us back then!

Somehow, they made it through the intervening years (relatively) unscathed, and the electro-industrial collective has recently been revisiting classic ’80s and ’90s material on their “Evil Eye” tour. The setlist goes hard on Wax Trax and Interscope-era songs from 1987-1997, with founding members Groovie Mann and Buzz McCoy and a cast of musicians that might include a familiar face or two.

On this, the final leg of the tour, Orlando will get a taste of synthesized perversion at its best. Opening is synth-punk duo Adult. from Detroit and fast-rising electro-pop rulebreaker Kanga.

7 p.m. Friday, March 22, The Abbey.
