A New York City-raised singer, songwriter, film and video game music composer, and multi-instrumentalist, James Euringer -- also known as Jimmy Urine -- is best known as the mischievous co-founder and frontman of the genre-bending electropunk outfit Mindless Self Indulgence. In 2018, he issued a solo effort as simply Euringer. In the mid-'90s, Euringer and his brother Markus founded MSI and have documented their nervy blend of lo-fi punk, industrial, and hip-hop on multiple albums, EPs, and singles. In addition to his work with MSI, Urine has recorded under the moniker Left Rights with MSI co-conspirator Steve, Righ?, and has done remixes for Grimes, Deep Forest, Korn, Serj Tankian, and Serart. He has also done some film acting as well, appearing alongside his wife, Morningwood vocalist Chantal Claret, in Darren Lynn Bousman's Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival, and as a Ravager named Half-Nut in director James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy 2. In 2017 he released Secret Cinematic Sounds of Jimmy Urine, a compilation of his video game and film music. The following year, he issued a full-length effort, Euringer (Metropolis Records), which featured appearances by Grimes, Tankian, Claret, and Gerard Way. Euringer's goal with the project was to create a hybrid sound that blended Depeche Mode, J Dilla, and Frank Zappa. With his familiar vocals and off-kilter production style, Euringer also included covers of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" and the Doobie Brothers' "What a Fool Believes." ~ James Christopher Monger & Neil Z.
