Links to Peel
A copy of Pig's demo tape was sent to Underground magazine in 1987, where Peel reviewed it by describing that  'any band with a name like that starts with an advantage' This was because Peel's wife Sheila was nicknamed the Pig, because the way she snorts whilst laughing. Also in the magazine, Peel described the band's music as having a Foetus quality. Foetus, being the solo musical project of the Australian industrial electronic musician, JG Thirlwell. Despite liking the band's name, Peel didn't seem to play the Pig's material except for one show according to available playlists, which was the Never For Fun track on 21 June 1988 (Radio Bremen).
