Thicknicksick

About

Thicknicksick was an obscure experimental/noise project active during the mid-1980s underground cassette scene. The project released three cassette-only recordings between 1986 and 1987, all issued on the ZH27 label, a small independent imprint associated with the era's DIY noise and industrial underground. Their three known releases—Drip Drip Drip, Lip Strip Trick, and Slicktrickflick—showcase a playful yet deliberately abrasive approach to experimental music, with titles suggesting both surrealist sensibilities and confrontational sonic aesthetics. Operating within the broader landscape of cassette-based noise and industrial music that flourished in the 1980s, Thicknicksick represents the prolific but largely undocumented output of the period's underground tape networks. Limited information survives regarding the project's personnel, methodology, or subsequent activities, making them a largely enigmatic figure in the experimental music archive, known primarily through their compact catalog of lo-fi cassette releases.
