Jean-Louis Costes is a noise musician, performance artist and film actor. He was once married to Lisa Crystal Carver with whom he performed in Suckdog. He helped write the backing music for the "noise opera" music of the Suckdog Circus. His albums include Hung by the Dick from Nihilist Records. Costes has been described as the French version of GG Allin.
He also appeared in the controversial film Irréversible (2002) and Life Pornography (2003).
A few of his albums have been banned in France for obscenity.
In 2004, he performed the Holy Virgin Cult show across the United States, scaring audiences with a barrage of apparent flung feces, urine, tortured screaming, public sex and religious flagellation.
In 2007, Costes and Lisou Prout completed the "Les Petits Oiseaux Chient" (Little Birds Shit) tour across the United States and Canada.
