Not only to bring<br />forth UK Decay back to the light of the world stage with the re-release<br />of the back catalogue, but also Live to a new generational audience,<br />as well as to those that were there back in the day.<br /><br />UK Decay Communities website contains much information about the<br />band, thousands of pages and pictures not only of UK Decay but of a<br />whole generation of bands and the scene that existed in Luton and the<br />surrounding Home Counties during the eighties.<br /><br />UK Decay were an important band in the developing Post Punk – Goth<br />movement, don’t just take our word for it, this is what others have to say!<br /><i><blockquote><br />UK Decay are one of the original bands to cross over from punk to what<br />was then becoming called "gothic", in the early '79 London scene, before<br />the gothic and even post punk bands like Bauhaus, Theatre of Hate, the<br />Southern Death Cult, and more. In fact they were already established<br />when many of those bands were not, and helped get many of them on<br />their feet with gigs.<br /><a href="http://www.deathrock.com/ukdecay/">(Deathrock.com)</a><br /><br />Around the same time as Bauhaus were emerging, UK Decay were<br />discarding their punk roots and developing their own independent "gothic"<br /> sound. Although never as popular as Bauhaus, Joy Division or the<br />Banshees, UK Decay were far closer to the second wave of Goth bands<br />and were an important influence on them.<br /><a href="http://www.soundry.com/goth-early-history.htm">(History of Gothic Culture and the Goth Scene)</a><br /><br />UK Decay came straight outta Luton and began messing about with staid<br />punk rock traditionalism almost immediately. Serving up brash, trouncing<br /> sides heaped up with helpings of brooding sex and sullen menace,<br />massive sales in the underground and a seminal legacy should have been<br /> theirs…<br /><a href="http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/weekly_article/england-fades-away-stylus-magazines-guide-to-goth.htm#recordings">(Stylus Magazine)</a><br /><br />UK Decay were arguably a major influence on an emerging wave of bands<br /> such as the Sisters of Mercy, Sex Gang Children and Southern Death Cult.<br /> These bands together spawned the emerging postpunk and Goth movements<br />that still resonate today. UK Decay had a major role in developing these scenes,<br />but had ceased to exist by the time these other bands started getting serious<br />press coverage and sales.<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Decay">(Wikipedia)</a><br /><b><br />In an interview with Steve Keaton from Sounds in February 1981, Abbo<br />from UK Decay inadvertently named the Goth movement: </b><br />"he said 'it's<br />gonna be a movement' and we're going nah, we'll be gone in six months.<br />He said you've got to get a name for it, it's not dance or alternative or<br />New Pop or mod... and I remember saying 'we're into the whole Gothic<br />thing'... and we sat there laughing about how we should have gargoyle<br />shaped records and only play churches. Course he put it all in the<br />interview.. for six months everything went quiet then when the album<br />came out everyone was asking 'what's this Gothic thing you're into?'<br />And it's a total joke!"<br /><b><br />Two months later, in an interview with the US magazine "Flipside", he<br />used "gothic" again to describe their style:</b><br /><b>Flipside: Is your music political?</b><br /><b>Abbo:</b> Uh, well yeah some of it, the early stuff is real political, "For My<br />Country" was sort of an anti-nationalist thing, pacifist. Our lyrics are now<br />sort of based on sex and death, mystical, gothic is how we describe it in<br />England, the new single is about violation of privacy, unexpected guest in<br />the house, surreal...<br /><b><a href="http://www.scathe.demon.co.uk/name.htm">(Origins of the term Goth at Scathe Demon)</a></b><br /></blockquote></i><br /><hr /><br /><i>Appearing Live!<br />In Luton, at UK DK COM III, the legendary.....</i><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size:180%;color:black;">Rubella Ballet</span></b><br /><img src="http://www.ukdecay.co.uk/R3Bands/RubellaBallet.gif" /><br /><br /><b>Day-Glo-Anarcho-Psychedelic Punksters, Rubella Ballet to join party!</b><br /><blockquote>[i]<br />“These young dayglo warriors would became the main nucleus and<br />mainstay behind the biggest explosion of colour to hit the late 70's/early<br />80's bleakness of the UK punk scene. Rubella Ballet created that rare<br /> bright hue of primary dischord amongst the hordes of combat black.”[/i]</blockquote><br /><br /><b>Rubella Ballet</b> began in early1979 after Zillah & Sid recruited ex Fatal<br /> Microbes Pete Fender & Gemma. Hailing from the Crass, Poison Girls,<br />Flux of Pink Indian’s Anarcho Punk stable, they soon found themselves<br />playing on the same bill as those bands and then later under their own<br />right. They toured the UK and parts of Europe over the next couple of<br />years. In true DIY style, their first recording; Ballet Bag , was a nine track<br /> cassette in a bag with a badge, poster & lyric book. It was released in<br />1982 reaching number 9 in the UK independent LP charts. Later that year<br />their first vinyl single, Ballet Dance, went on to reach number 1 in the<br />independent single charts and led on to a session on the legendary John<br />Peel show, the first of two sessions by Rubella Ballet.<br /><br /> In 1983/4, they toured with Death Cult and were riding high again in the<br />independent charts with ‘42f’ a 3 track EP, released on Jungle Records.<br />Although the bands line up fluctuated from time to time, the core of Zillah<br />& Sid (vocals and drums) kept the band together. This they did throughout<br /> the mid eighties releasing further singles and 3 studio albums and a<br />double live album.<br /> In the 90’s Zillah & Sid collaborated with various members of the dance<br /> collective, Spiral Tribe, to create Xenophobia, an act they would showcase<br />at various illegal raves.<br />As Xenophobia, they released a techno dance track for the compilation<br />‘Beyond the Threshold‘ and subsequent singles appeared under that title.<br /><br /> Into the 2000’s, Zillah & Sid’s Rubella Ballet returned to their punk roots<br />and headlined The Anti Society festival 2000 in the Czech Republic and<br />Across the Decades 2 day punk festival at The Sanctuary in Milton Keynes<br /> in 2000. This big event featured bands like The Damned, Stiff Little<br />Fingers, Selector, Steve Ignorant and the Subhumans etc.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.ukdecay.co.uk/R3Bands/sapradd.jpg" /><br /><br /> October 2007 Zillah released a film about Punk Rock women entitled,<br />'She’s a Punk Rocker UK'. (see below) An hour long documentary<br />including interviews with Poly Styrene, Eve Libertine, Julie Burchill, Gay<br />Advert, Vi-Subversa and many more.<br /> Rubella Ballet are currently riding a wave that will see them headlining<br />the Gothic Pogo Festival in Leipzig Germany in May and the Drop Dead<br />Festival, Lisbon Portugal in October. The band are now appealing to a<br />new, young generation who want some of that<br />Day-Glo-Anarcho-Psychedelic Punksters, DIY ethos!<br /><br /><blockquote><i>The band have become infamous for their different and innovative style<br />of music and the shock value of wearing ultraviolet day-glo clothes to<br />brighten up London's east end, dark, violent, poor, ghettoized, drug<br />dealing, working class shithole that they lived in into a different land as<br />everywhere they went people smiled and laughed instead of wanting to<br />kill them.</i></blockquote><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubella_Ballet">(Wikipedia)<br /></a><br />We are honoured and proud to present to the party….<b>Rubella Ballet!</b><br /><a href="http://www.geocities.com/rubella_ballet/news.html">Rubella Ballet official site…</a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/rubellaballet"><br />Rubella Ballet at Myspace</a>…You can hear some of their music there<br /><br /><hr /><br /><i>Milton Keynes very own oldschool, hardcore punx...</i><br /><b><span style="font-size:180%;color:black;">Dun 2 Def</span></b><br /><img src="http://www.ukdecay.co.uk/R3Bands/Dun2Def_hurricane.gif" /><br /><br />Hailing from Milton Keynes in 1996 after being known as "77" they<br />changed the name to <b>Dun2def </b>in 2001.

If their records were any good they could be playing to thousands within months. Word-of-mouth was like a plague back then. Bands who ventured abroad spread their reputation further, and assumed a larger form onstage, as confidence inflated their imagination. While nobody was bigger than Adam & The Ants in the underground channels, UK Decay were one of the biggest bands behind them. If they had mainly concentrated on the UK they would eventually have got onto a bigger label, as they were quite capable of headlining the largest venues.<br /><br />That’s the nostalgia over with, as we start a New Year, knowing full well the possibilities/limitations our bands face these days, but I started that way because someone raised an interesting point with me recently, asking who was the most important band – Bauhaus or UK Decay? The answer was the latter, in every way imaginable. Bauhaus were simply an excellent band who had the music but needed to wait to discover an image, then went their own way. UK Decay had the sound, didn’t give a toss about image, and had the Punk ethos, so they helped bands along the way, understanding the communal aspect. (Prime beneficiary of their support, for instance, was Sex Gang Children, but many benefited.) UK decay were cool, as well as responsible.<br /><br />You know, there never was a more tumultuous band as UK Decay in full flight either. This CD finds them at a time when Eddie Branch’s bass and Steve Harle’s drums together would blow away any Goth band on the planet today, and with Spon’s guitar guile, their style was like an angry fountain. Songs which grew and developed in ugly, violent environments (they hardly ever had time to rehearse!), these are also celebratory items, which the crowd love. ‘Unwind’ twists handily into the exuberantly scummy ‘Werewolf’, and ‘Dresden’ is on fire (oops!), while ‘Barbarian’ and ‘Barbarians’ are dollops of ratty noise, the latter made skittishly acceptable by Harle’s flashing finesse. ‘Sexual’ still shivers in a masterful way, with a grizzly bass/drum rope ladder across which Abbo plunges and bucks, as guitar arrows fly in all directions, and ‘Stagestruck’ is a slinky bass-boosted bastard, with a hearty, howling punch. <br /><br /><img border="1" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/mickmercer/CDadvert1.jpg" align="left" />‘Rising From The Dread’ is a lolloping spree of rusty sparks, ‘Twist In The Tale’ cavorts with wordy jousting and ‘Unexpected Guest’ has one of the greatest bass openings ever, out of which the rest crawl into a punishing roaring, semi-commercial style, where the macabre intensity festers beautifully. ‘Testament’ is as mesmerising now as it was then, with gaseous guitar drifting over rhythmic barbed wire, on which Abbo is caught, roaring happily. Then they flip backwards and give us the early ‘Black Cat’, charming by comparison, before they pound to a finish in Hammersmith with the brittle ‘UK Decay’, a Pistolian ‘For My Country’ and another ‘Unwind.’ The bonus tracks included then come from St. Albans, four months earlier. These are more faded in quality but include a blunt ‘Duel’, frantic ‘Jerusalem’, jerking ‘Mayday Malady’ and a rumbling ‘Stagestruck.’<br /><br />UK Decay split up far too soon, when Abbo went off to form the thunderously dull Furyo, and with no CD reissues, due to difficulties between the band and Southern Studios agreeing on what to do, their reputation has dwindled disappointingly. Many people just don’t appreciate the essential part they played in Goth’s birth, or how fantastic they sound. Now Spon has at least got everyone to agree this can come out maybe things will change and their roles as Dark Midwives will be recognised, as well as the quality of their songs. I have no idea as to what difference the re-mastering’ element makes, but the Klub Foot material is superb, while still not as exciting as they could be! Other releases should soon follow, including their sole ‘For Madmen Only’ album.<br /><br />The single most important band in the initial Goth phase, these are your spiritual forefathers and, for once, respect <i>is</i> due. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.ukdecay.co.uk">http://www.ukdecay.co.uk</a><br />(This limited edition version is only available to registered members of this site.

<br />The first official release from the original 'Goth' pioneers
<br />UK Decay
<br />'Nights for Celebration'
<br />A unique collectors item
<br />£10.00 plus postage/packaging
<br />
<br />"This album-length cassette catches their very last performance
<br />at the Klub Foot where they promised, “it may be sad, but the best
<br />is yet to come.”The whole gig’s here and apart from the disorientating
<br />effect that onstage echo has on my tape recorder, it’s a pristine
<br />sound. Nice clear vocals, deep twangy bass, striking drumming and
<br />flowery, expressive guitar; the Decay hallmarks."
<br />Melody Maker 1983

<br />
<br />"Once upon a time there was a band called UK Decay, and if it wasn't for them most of you young Gothlings would have nothing to listen to. It really is that simple, because they bridged the Punk to Goth era in a helpful, motivating, inspirational manner. For more than twenty years their records have been collectors items among people of taste, but nothing has been re-released on CD. This changes next year, but for now, for anyone registered on http://www.ukdecay.co.uk there is a chance to get a limited edition re-release of 'Night For Celebration', the recording of their final gig at the Clarendon Ballroom. Just thought you might like to know."

<br /><p> </p>Like naughty little teases, Abbo, Steve and Eddie sneaked out a couple of low profile releases on compilation albums during the first half of 1983. These turned out to be a useful appetiser for what was to come, even though few probably realised it at the time. Both featured an anonymous guitarist called Patrick who disappeared before Furyo hit the boards, unaccredited and unloved. First came the track “Slave Drive” on Dave Roberts’ “The Whip” album, a near-instrumental featuring a barrage of Steve’s drums and some very aggressive acoustic swooping on guitar. I recall John Peel playing this and it sounded great on the radio, keeping elements of the DK sound yet moving into fresh territory. I wanted <a href="http://www.ukdecay.co.uk/Furyo/Furyohome.htm">more…..</a>
