what happened to mr. larsen? i don't really listen to so-called
"industrial" so much anymore. i was flipping through my collection and
decided to put on self-inflicted. something i haven't listened to it
in quite some time and was just curious if this guy was still around?
i'm doubtful that he's still releasing music.

Recently did a remix for Kiew on their Diskette EP on Out Of Line records.

No one knows. He's not listed on his address anymore.
But on the 17th of November 2003 there was a remix on Out Of Line.
The band Kiew released "Diskette" with a Leaether Strip Remix on it:
Graograman. In my opinion the only good track on the album :)
But the remix starts with Larsen saying "Leaether Strip will be back
for more electronic mayhem".

But no one have verified that it was a new remix - it could very well
be one that have collected dust in the Kiew library for years.

I have also moved on from LS since the Inflicted era, but it's still a
great part of what I listened to back then. Some kind of closure would
be nice.

I know that festivals around Europe has tried to book him several
times, and with big cash advances to lure him out. But so far I never
heard that anyone has ever got in contact with him.

Theres also some silly romour that he stole some money from a record
label. But that's pretty far fetched (especially considering the
cashflow in this genre :-)

Why do you think you have any idea what you're talking about? How do
you know it's 'far fetched'? You know jack shit. FYI, he took
advances from Metropolis for an album, and I'm talking about real
amounts of cash, and never produced any music in exchange for it.
None of this changes the fact that I loved his music in it's time.

That's real, it happened, end of story. This comes to you from the
first american to ever interview Claus Larsen.

Actually, this is the best thing I've ever heard of Leætherstrip is his
entire career, ripping off a worthless crap label and (apparently)
getting away with it. Hopefully he'll continue his career in the same
direction.

Do you have any source references by any chance, Dr. P? You are
accusing the man of stealing.

Last I heard from Claus on the CL mailing list, he was at the final
stages on the follow up to Selfinflicted (not counting Carry Me).
But I'm not speaking on his behalf, I have just not seen or heard any
proof yet.

Well, we do agree on something... :-)

On the topic of interviewing Claus, we can do all the pissing contests
in the world on my account...

To cut the crap, I followed the discussion on the CL mailinglist, and
that was mainly secondary rumours and gossip. And I can't remember
reading anything on RMI. Lastly I have seen no official statement from
anyone regarding this. And finally, it seems a bit weird that he is
listed in the public phonebooks (I'm told), if he is supposed to be
hiding.
It also puzzles me that Out Of Line would release a remix by CL, if he
was scamming the labels.

But don't flame me for doubting this, it's just that theres not
exactly massive amounts of info on this. And for once, you seem to
know something (PM?).

Really? When was this? And for what publication and/or radio station?
'Cause I interviewed him for/live on WMSE (Milwaukee)in 1993, about a
month or so after he'd come over here to sign off on his Cleo
contracts. And, at the time, he was pretty excited about it, as he
hadn't been really interviewed over here, yet. I'd be interested in
seeing an archive of the interview, to compare and contrast, as it
were.

I did Mondays 6-9 (AKA 'The Crawford Spot') for a couple of years
(93-95), and then K-Y did it after I moved, I think?

I liked the X Marks station ID.
