| − | '''Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids''' was a band based in South Florida, in the United States. In 1989, [[Marilyn Manson|Brian Warner]] was a college student working toward a journalism degree, and gaining experience in the field by writing music articles for a South Florida lifestyle magazine, ''25th Parallel''. It was in this capacity that he was able to meet several of the musicians to whom his own band would later be compared, including My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult and [[Trent Reznor]] of [[Related bands and artists#Nine Inch Nails|Nine Inch Nails]]. He met [[Daisy Berkowitz|Scott Putesky]] shortly afterward and, after showing him some lyrics and poems he had written, proposed that they form a band together. Warner, guitarist Putesky, and bassist [[Olivia Newton Bundy|Brian Tutunick]] recorded their first demo tape as Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids in 1990, taking on the stage names of Marilyn Manson, Daisy Berkowitz, and Olivia Newton Bundy, respectively. They were soon joined by [[Madonna Wayne Gacy|Stephen Bier]], who called himself Madonna Wayne Gacy; Bundy was replaced by Gidget Gein, born [[Gidget Gein|Brad Stewart]]. In 1991, drummer [[Sara Lee Lucas|Fred Streithorst]] joined the band, with the stage name Sara Lee Lucas.

| − | The stage names used by each member were representative of a concept the band considered central: the dichotomy of goodness and evil, and the existence of both, together, in every whole. "Marilyn Monroe had a dark side", explained Manson in his autobiography, "just as Charles Manson has a good, intelligent side". Images of both Monroe and Manson, as well as of others equally famous and notorious, were common in the band's early promotional materials.

| − | The Spooky Kids' popularity in the area grew quickly, largely because of radio DJ Scott David of WYNX-FM, an early fan who eagerly played songs from the band's demo tapes on the air; and because of the band's highly visual concerts, which drew from performance art and used many shock techniques. It was not uncommon to see on stage "naked women nailed to a cross, a child in a cage, or bloody animal body parts" Manson, Berkowitz, and Gein variously performed in women's clothing or bizarre costumes; and, for lack of a professional pyrotechnics, they would occasionally set their own stage props on fire. The band would dramatically contrast these grotesque theatrics with elements drawn from the culture of the members' youth in the 1970s and 1980s: characters from that era's children's television made regular, often somewhat altered, appearances on Marilyn Manson flyers and newsletters, and were frequently Sampling in the music. They continued to perform and release cassettes — shortening their name to [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] in 1992.
