45 Grave
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from 45 grave)
During 1979-1990 in Los Angeles, 45 Grave was born in the chaos of the punk movement and churned out their own brand of death rock. In the beginning, the original lineup consisted of Dinah Cancer on vocals, Paul Cutler on guitar, Rob Graves on bass, and Don Bolles on drums.

In 1980 the band recorded their first song, "Riboflavin Flavored Non-Carbonated Poly-Unsaturated Blood", an obscure cover from the 1960s, on a small TEAC 8-track recorder, which was released on the LAMFS compilation. Their name, despite rumors to the contrary, was lifted from a button. The band soon took the death rock, punk and goth scenes by storm.

Early on the band were playing The Consumers songs that Cutler had written, with lyrics changed to fit Cancer's singing style. They then wrote the songs that would be released on their first 7", "Black Cross", and a thrashy, fast paced punk song called "Party Time".

In 1984, the band hit their pinnacle of fame when the revised, slowed down version of "Party Time" was featured on the soundtrack to the film Return of the Living Dead along with tracks by such death rock luminaries as TSOL and The Cramps. Another track, "Evil", was featured prominently on MTV. They recorded their one studio album to date, "Sleep In Safety". Soon after, in 1985, the band broke up.

The band were to reform in 1989 for a brief tour, which was recorded and released as "Only The Good Die Young". Sadly, this reunion was to be short lived, as Graves died in 1991 from an accidental drug overdose. The band broke up yet again.

In 2005, to commemorate its 25th anniversary, 45 Grave reformed with an all new lineup, Dinah Cancer being the single remaining member from any previous incarnations. The band, however, has the blessing of the ex-members. Dinah Cancer posted on her My Space blog, "I'm building this to keep the spirit of 45 Grave alive, introduce its magic to new fans, and as a personal commemorative of my best memories being the driving force and front person of 45 Grave. This is a part of my life that indeed changed me forever."

To be honest I think it's a bit shit.......BUT & it's a big but they did 1 song for the "Return of the living dead" soundtrack which is great called "Partytime" it's not death/goth/punk [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img] it's 80's hair/glam [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img] singalong anthem a bit like "Smashed Gladys".

<font size="4" face="Arial">Agreed. If they had an entire album which was more akin to Partytime from ROTLD, I'd have liked it, very Sally Cato. There is one song on the album which reminds me of Junior Bones by Alleycat Scratch, just the start with the bass intro. I've got a 45 Grave interview and live concert coming, be interesing to see. Also, there are a few concerts on eMule too.
