UK Decay

After a brief stint as The Resistors, the Luton based UK Decay was formed in the winter of 1978. Nearly everyone was named Steve, so they all took on other monikers (Abbo = Steve Abbot). From there they became a well known outfit that has played with many of the original London punk bands, and even having made it to the US thanks to Jello Biafra after the sacking of their bassist in 1980. They got a 16 year old American bass replacement (Jason Creeton from Social Unrest).

The Rabies

Be afraid of The Rabies, be very afraid... The sweet and syrupy powerful vocals of Lexi Lawsuit (often compared to Siouxsie Sioux), combined with catchy yet haunting guitar melodies, spooky keyboards, and the steady throbbing rhythmic percussion...it's horror pop cabaret that packs a punch. Hailing from the underbelly of Buffalo NY, The Rabies emerged in 2003 and acquired a faithful following, all claiming to have been "infected" by the new buzz. With their concoction of punk, new wave, goth, and in-you-face rock-n-roll, The Rabies aren't here for a campfire sing along.

THE EDEN HOUSE

The Eden House is a collaborative project. Work on the project started in 2004 and has continued sporadically since. There are a core group of regular contributors with other guests providing one-off contributions. The Eden House isn't a band as such and will remain primarily studio based.
We will regularly post new songs/mixes as we create them. If there is enough interest we will compile the result for CD release. The project isn't about making money nor do we want to string people along waiting for a release that may never happen. The Eden House is purely about the music.

They have created and moulded their own sound which relates to the Oldschool Punk of Siouxie and the Banshees and X-Ray Spex and to an extent The Dead Kennedys. The band is also reminiscent of more modern outfits such as the Horrorpops ,Distillers and The Merry Widows.

Sex Gang Children

Sex Gang Children is an early gothic rock group that formed in the early 1980s in Britain. They were a very dramatic band, relying on heavy bass, tribal drumming, sudden mood shifts, a woozy cabaret ready sound that influenced the rise of the later dark cabaret scene, and yet another in a long line of goth singers with an odd, highly dramatic voice. Although the group only released one official album, their singles and various other tracks have been packaged into numerous collections, and they remain one of the better known bands out of the early goth scene.
