Biography

Yet another branch in the rather large and twisted family tree that Ministry spawned, Acid Horse was a one-off single collaboration between Ministry's Al Jourgensen (Ministry side project nickname this time around: Alien Dog Star), Chris Connelly (Gallopin' Scorpionsaddlebutt), Bill Rieflin (Biff), and Cabaret Voltaire's Stephen Mallinder and Richard H. Kirk (for this project, named Tennessee King and Harold Sandoz, respectively). Acid Horse recorded their No Name, No Slogan single for Wax Trax in 1989; on the single, the same song was performed differently on each side, one side more like Ministry, and the other more like Cabaret Voltaire. Given the myriad of projects Jourgensen and company had going on at this time, it is no surprise that Acid Horse didn't pursue any further collaboration. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide

Acid Horse was a one-off collaborative side project between two industrial pioneers, Ministry and Cabaret Voltaire. Only one single, No Name, No Slogan, was released in 1989 on Wax Trax! records. The band name is a combination of the slang terms for LSD (acid) and heroin (horse), as well as a play on the title of the then-popular acid house movement.

Like with many other Ministry side projects, such as PTP and the Revolting Cocks, the band member's identities are masked by pseudonyms. The members are as follows:

Musically, Acid Horse resembles fellow Ministry side project PTP, in that it blends an upbeat dance-like electronic rhythm with catchy guitar-work. The lyrics come off in a serious, yet slightly comical tone - a trademark of many Ministry side projects.
