An introduction to:
Bone Orchard - they were a spastic group, during the early eighties
in the UK. They grey from the punk and post punk movements, in a cult
of bands that unofficially claimed the Birthday
Party as their progenitor. With their wild and desperate bass
antics, off beat and just as weird drumming, shreds of shrieking guitar,
and lurid, poetic lyrics, they fell right into the niche that was
developing in London, gothic rock, and it's American counterpart,
deathrock.
Bone Orchard was among the first to take the themes of the Birthday
Party into a new direction, along with bands like Ausgang,
the Inca Babies, Sunglasses
After Dark, and more. They were more than just odd, they were
brilliant.
