Topic: The Dead Boys


  
  The Dead Boys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dead Boys were a punk band that formed in Cleveland, Ohio about 1975, evolving out of the band Rocket From The Tombs.
Sire Records pressured the group to change their look and sound to appeal more to the US mainstream (which had yet to embrace punk on the level seen in the UK) and this contributed to Dead Boys breaking up in 1979.
The Dead Boys only had two official full lengths, however many labels have released rough material and outtakes in the years following their breakup.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Cythera / Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things
Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things depicts a mid-21st century society consumed by its own consumerism: "designer dolls" (fully functioning androids) transmit a virus through sexual relations with humans that eventually infects female offspring, slowly transforming these children into dolls, beginning at about the time of puberty.
Hence the term, "Dead Girls" (and, as you might gather from the full title, the virus progresses to cross genders).
While Dead Girls could stand alone (not an uncommon trait for most trilogies), Dead Boys not only seems an unfinished work (also not uncharacteristic of trilogies), it is virtually incomprehensible without the framing first and third stories.

 HIGH BIAS -- Stiv Bators   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
The late Stiv Bators blazed across the underground rock galaxy as the amphetaminized singer for punk thugs the Dead Boys and iconoclastic Gothic hard rockers the Lords of the New Church.
What many of the folks on both sides of the fence may not know is that between his stints in the Boys and the Lords, he headed to Los Angeles to cut a solo album.
The "alternate" versions of "Evil Boy" and the silly "Swingin' a Go Go" aren't different enough from the originals to matter, while the live cover of the Syndicate of Sound's "Little Girl" finds Bators' much-maligned misogyny in full flower.

 LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Rubber City Rebels: Pierce My Brain
Songs like "I Don't Wanna Be a Punk No More" and "Dead Boy (Eulogy for Stiv)" are a testament to the fact that fading away into obscurity in the early 1980's was the best possible fate for these original punkers from Ohio.
However, lyrics from this album explain the story of the Rebels as well as any punk rock historian ever could: "I've seen Dead Boys rise from the Crypt/I've seen Vicious fight Dogs in the pit" (from "Punk Daddy") so there is little mystery concerning the inspiration for this band.
The bad news is that while fellow Ohioans such as Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys were signed to the big labels without that being an initial goal, the Rebels admired those same bands for their success but never really went anywhere musically.
