The Joy Thieves

The Joy Thieves is a musical supergroup that includes current, former, and touring members of bands such as Ministry, Stabbing Westward, The Rollins Band, Killing Joke, Pigface, RevCo, <PIG>, David Bowie, Blue October, Machines of Loving Grace, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Naked Raygun, Foetus, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Pegboy, Nitzer Ebb, and more. 

The band boasts an ever-growing lineup that includes musicians from a diverse range of genres, including industrial, rock, punk, darkwave, hip hop, and experimental music. At the center sit Chicago area musicians/producers Dan Milligan & James Scott, known as Joy Thieves Productions, crafting the band’s surprisingly cohesive signature sound from the contributions of its mutating, 80+ roster of members from all over the globe.

It’s a sound that The Joy Thieves describe as being created by “all of us. And yet, none of us.”

This unique method of music creation has allowed the band to create a sound that’s all their own. Aggressive, yet precise. Confrontational, but refined. Harsh, yet layered with melody. A sound created by musicians who are always looking towards the future, despite the fact that you may know them from your past.

The Joy Thieves.
It is all of us.
It is none of us.
