Career
Local success and major label sponsorship
Prior to joining Marilyn Manson, Streithorst drummed for local South Florida bands 333 Lunatic Lane, Black Janet and India Loves You, the latter with future Marilyn Manson bandmate Scott Putesky (Daisy Berkowitz). Streithorst joined Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids in 1990, replacing the Yamaha RX-8 drum machine the band had been using for their first year active. Traditional during this time was the tendency for the band's members to use aliases combining the names of serial killers with sex symbols, models and the like. Streithorst chose to combine murderer Henry Lee Lucas' name with that of baked goods company Sara Lee, dubbing himself Sara Lee Lucas. Lucas appeared on each cassette Marilyn Manson produced between 1990 and 1993, after which Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor oversaw production on Marilyn Manson's first full-length record. After releasing Portrait of an American Family in 1994, Lucas accompanied the group on Nine Inch Nails' Self Destruct Tour and their own headlining Portrait of an American Family tour. Before concluding the latter however, Lucas was pressured by his bandmates into leaving the group. He was succeeded by Ginger Fish in February 1995, although his compositions can still be heard on the group's ensuing release, Smells Like Children.
Experimental years
Lucas continued performing using his Marilyn Manson alias even after departing from the group. Partnering with another musician, Trace, in 1996 Lucas formed an industrial electronic project called Electro-Shock Therapy, which remains active in 2010. There have allegedly been over one-thousand Electro-Shock Therapy songs recorded.
Between 2002 and 2003, Lucas was active with three additional projects. First, he embarked on a short headlining tour with Nocturne. The following November, Lucas and Electro-Shock Therapy bandmate Trace were invited to perform with Orlando industrial group Ambionica. Following the New Year, Lucas recorded with Kuzmark. Lucas will reportedly be involved in a concert paying tribute to the late Gidget Gein, to be held at Los Angeles' Viper Room in 2010.
Masterlab
In 1996, around the period when Lucas and Trace formed Electro-Shock Therapy, the pair also founded their own disc manufacturer, Masterlab. The Orlando, Florida facility produces CDs and DVDs, handles graphic design and audio mastering, and has worked for artists including Khia, Mary J. Blige, Mandy Moore, 69 Boyz and Robert Palmer. In November 2009, Lucas and Trace began production on a PBS television series called SoundScapes.[1]
Legal activity
Shortly after Lucas' departure from Marilyn Manson, former bandmate Scott Putesky was also released from the band. Both Lucas and Putesky joined each other in a lawsuit against Marilyn Manson, seeking unpaid royalties for the band's early discography, settling their case in 1998. The settlement of their case has never been disclosed. In January 2009, it was reported that Manson wanted to contact Lucas in regards to the former's lawsuit involving Stephen Bier (Madonna Wayne Gacy).
Relationships
In The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Manson explains that Sara Lee Lucas once had sex with vocalist Jessicka, then fronting Jack Off Jill. Prior to this, Jessicka had been dating Lucas' Marilyn Manson bandmate, Twiggy Ramirez.
Trivia
- According to his MySpace profile, Lucas is a member of the Church of Scientology.[2]
