Little Jimmy Urine (born James Euringer) (also known as "Lil Jimmy Urine", "Little Jimmy", "Jimmy Urine", and "Urine"[citation needed]) is the lead singer of New York techno punk group Mindless Self Indulgence, sometimes described as a cross between Mike Patton (due to his unique vocal style and his onstage antics), John Lydon and Frank N. Furter from The Rocky Horror Show. He has been known to dress like Cap'n Crunch.[citation needed] Urine has also often been compared to GG Allin, although Urine's antics are significantly less obscene. His most recent full length album is Mindless Self Indulgence's You'll Rebel To Anything (2005), which the band toured to support until October 31, 2005. MSI recently released a demo of a new song entitled "Pay for It" on their MySpace page in June 2006 which may signal an upcoming album or single, and has sparked the "Cursing in Braille" tour. On July 25th, 2006, the single "Thank God" was made available for download on their MySpace page.

Appearance

On stage and in public, Little Jimmy Urine can be seen wearing a unique style of clothing. This includes but is not limited to bright pink belts, a tie with a cross imprinted on it and a crucified Jesus, net shirts, tights, and large baggy shorts with the middle cut out causing it to resemble a skirt.

Accompanying his already unique look, Jimmy generally wears a long overcoat with text written on the back.

On stage, when performing songs with lyrical content of a homosexual nature such as Faggot, Little Jimmy Urine adorns a pair of fairy wings.

Antics

Jimmy is well-known for his crazy on stage antics (some of which can be heard on the album Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, and the live album Alienating Our Audience). He loves to create controversy at his own shows. He will do anything he can to piss off his own fans such as drinking their beer, stealing their clothes, smoking their cigarettes, stealing their money, insulting their appearance, telling people to throw things at him (which have ranged from money to dildos) and throwing their own drinks back at them.

Other antics include an attempt to ignite his pubic hair on fire (Which he was arrested for on the charges of indecent exposure), gathering some toilet paper thrown on stage by a fan, shoving it up his anus and throwing it back into the audience while telling the people to clone him. He has also ingested his own urine during a performance, and went so far as to allow band member Steve Righ? a taste.[1][2] He constantly pokes fun at his band and makes self deprecating comments. He is also known to kiss any willing show-goers, typically for $1.

Works Besides MSI

Urine has also taken on a musical side project. It is a collaboration with fellow Mindless Self Indulgence band member Steve, Righ?. They created a 39 track, 25 minute album under the name The Left Rights.
