Chris Connelly grew up in Edinburgh where he had his first band Finitribe. After meeting with Al Jourgensen in November 1986 in London's Southern Studios he took part in several of Jourgensen's projects, mainly as a songwriter and Vocalist. At that time he started living in Chicago and became a part of the evolving Chicago industrial scene. Eventually he got in acquaintance with Martin Atkins around 1990 and worked with him in several groups. By that time he started his less industrial and more pop/vocal oriented career as solo artist. In 2007 he wrote "Concrete, Bulletproof, Invisible + Fried: My Life As A Revolting Cock" a book about his studio and touring experiences in the years from 1986 to 1992 approximately. He also wrote a book with poems: "Confessions Of The Highest Bidder".
