Before adopting the band name Slick Idiot, En Esch and Günter Schulz contributed (the track "Terrible Lie") to the nine-inch-nails cover album Covered in Nails 2: A Tribute to Nine Inch Nails (Cleopatra Records). After the first slick idiot album DickNity was released for online sale in the band's own webshop, Slick Idiot went on their first US album with members Mel Fuher, who belong to the live setup, and drummer and programmer Michael J. Carrasquillo. Tour "High Life for Low Lives". The album Dicknity was licensed by Cleopatra Records and provided with a bonus remix by Christoph Schneider von Rammstein . In 2003 Esch and Schulz, both also members of the industrial rock band Pigface, were part of the setup of the Pigface tour “United II”. In October 2004, the album Screwtinized was released online on their own label iTCHY Records via the Slick Idiot website. En Esch toured the USA again in 2005 as part of the setup of the Pigface “Free-for-All” tour, while Günter Schulz devoted himself to his own project SCHULZ with singer Jeff Borden. The resulting album What Apology was released shortly thereafter. In 2006 Slick Idiot completed another US tour called "xSCREWciating Tour", More Machine than Man was there as support .
