Before there was Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor was in a variety of bands that went absolutely nowhere. They had names like L’Oiseau, Option 30 and Exotic Birds.
Just for fun, let’s go back to a TV interview he did in 1985 when he was the keyboard player in Exotic Birds. (This is a lesson to everyone: no one can hide from the Interwebs.)
Thanks to Don for bringing this to my attention!
