About Whitehouse
Whitehouse are a Noise band founded in London in 1980, by [[artist:William Bennett]]. They have a worldwide underground cult following.
The group released nine albums in their first phase, plus two related albums under the names [[artist:The New Order]] and The 150 Murderous Passions. [[artist:Peter McGhee]] was a close collaborator for most of those records. After the release of 1985's [m=35580], Bennett put the project on ice.
By the late '80s Whitehouse started again, with writer [[artist:Peter Sotos]] as a main member. After releasing three albums in the early '90s (with production by [[artist:Steve Albini]]), [[artist:Philip Best]] entered the band once more; he had played with Whitehouse close to the end of their first phase. The line-up of Bennett / Sotos / Best released five albums in the following years, with their final one, 2003's [m=167522], being considered by many as their most important record. Sotos left the band after the LP's recording.
Bennett and Best released [m=73233] in 2006, and [m=1601180] in 2007, before Best departed in 2008. After performing some live shows, Bennett ended Whitehouse in 2009. Bennett and Best will reunite as Whitehouse to play a concert in Osaka, Japan, in 2027.
