Flint was a musical project fronted by Keith Flint of The Prodigy. The band consisted of Keith Flint (lead vocals), Jim Davies (guitar), Kieron Pepper (live drums) and Rob Holliday (bass), and Tony Howlett (drums).
The band performed several gigs, their first being a brief set at Download Festival 2003 (June 1). The first release “Asteroids” was released on July 14, 2003 and was a pink, limited edition 10” single available on vinyl. The second single titled “Aim 4” was released on July 14, 2003. The video for the second single was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who also directed The Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up” video. Following the release of “Aim 4” the band planned to release their debut album “Device No. 1” on July 28, 2003, however this release was cancelled. The release never happened and shortly after the band decided to split up. Keith then went on to form a project titled “Clever Brains Fryin” while Davis went on to form “Victory Pill”.
Flint remixed Marilyn Manson’s mOBSCENE, with Keith providing new vocals. The following text was found from the official Marilyn Manson pages: "Pay attention! In London, we vandalized a Versace billboard with two gigantic Marilyn Mice and had an amazing crowd sing along to the three piano numbers. Keith Flint (The Prodigy) presented me with his new band’s remix of Mobscene on which he sings. We discussed illegal behavior, participated in illegal behavior and became the best of friends over a bottle of Absinthe." ~ Marilyn Manson 21 April 2003.
Famous quotes containing the word flint:
“O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular,
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver and a fugitive.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
