	Died Pretty
		Died Pretty by Steve Gardner - Noise For Heroes #18 in the winter of 1990
		Died Pretty by Steve Gardner - Noise For Heroes #14 in the fall of 1988
		The story of Died Pretty is a tale of endurance and self belief as much as it is the history of a band's musical development.

	Died Pretty 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Died Pretty consist of Mark Lock on bass, Frank Brunetti on keyboards, Chris Welsh on drums, Brett Myers on guitar, and Ron Peno on vocals.
		The Died Pretty name was first used in August of 1981 for a band that was arguably the seedling Screaming Tribesmen, and included Peno, Welsh, Mick Medew and Michael O’Connor (see the Screaming Tribesmen article for more on this).
		The brilliance of Died Pretty lies in their ability to mold sounds and to strike responsive chords within the listener, even if the listener is unable to express in words what his response was.

	Died Pretty - Trace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		After eleven years and four albums Died Pretty, a quintet from Australia, have signed with Columbia Records and released the latest in a string of many fine albums.
		Already the darlings of the overseas press and college/alternative radio, this new disc may expose their brand of rootsy, jangling, rock to a wider audience.
		Died Pretty responded with Doughboy Hollow in '91 and were hailed as a major musical force.

	A final farewell for Died Pretty - theage.com.au
		On the eve of Died Pretty's final farewell gigs this weekend, singer Ron Peno has some unsavoury memories of the band's first performance in Melbourne in 1985.
		"Died Pretty should have been a hell of a lot more commercially successful than they were," says Citadel founder John Needham, who also managed them from day one.
		Died Pretty play their final shows at the Prince of Wales, St Kilda tonight and at the Corner Hotel, Richmond tomorrow.

	TrouserPress.com :: Died Pretty
		The Died Pretty 12-inch is a compilation of the band's first two 45s: "Out of the Unknown" and "Mirror Blues." The four-song Next to Nothing, Died Pretty's debut US release, does not contain the song of that name — it's on Free Dirt.
		Died Pretty went LA (sort of) on Every Brilliant Eye, replacing its longtime bassist and keyboardist and hooking up with producer Jeff Eyrich (Legal Weapon, Rank and File).
		Died Pretty wisely stuck with Jones for Trace, which reveals their true talent — for Outback Heartland rock (check the absolutely devastating "The Rivers").

	Died Pretty 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The second NFH feature on Died Pretty originally appeared in #18 in the winter of 1990, with the subheading lifted from what I always imagined the lyrics to the single "Winterland" to be: At night when the bowling balls swing down once again...
		The arrangement is for several records, so with luck it means that Died Pretty get handled with some degree of patience, and although Beggars has worked more with British indie bands, they are at least used to the concept that a band can be considered successful without charting in Billboard.
		It hit Brett pretty hard when Frank decided to leave, and he was almost going to dissolve the band, but he was talked around into staying and keeping it together.

	Died Pretty: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Moody Australian rockers Died Pretty broke up after 1993's Trace, a fine album that deserved more notice than it received, which made their unexpected 2000 reunion album, Everyday Dream, a pleasant surprise.
		An even more pleasant surprise is the fact that while the album is very much in the classic Died Pretty tradition of dark, somber post-punk tunes leavened by a sly sense of humor and guitarist Brett Myers' neo-psychedelic sense of songcraft, this isn't merely a rehashing of previous work.
		What turned out to be the final Died Pretty album, at least as far as can be determined, was something of an odd affair, at once a stab at more mainstream tastes and a refinement of the group's own approach.

	International Task Force - Volume 16, Number 2
		Pretty, 43, who had motor neuron disease (also known as ALS and Lou Gehrig’s disease), was paralyzed from the neck down and wanted to have her husband, Brian, assist her suicide.
		Pretty waged her court battle all the way to Europe’s highest court in hopes of getting legal immunity from prosecution for her husband and to change British law.
		Pretty’s case before the European court argued that the European Convention on Human Rights contains five separate articles that protected her right to die, her right to be free of "inhuman or degrading treatment," her right to privacy, her freedom of conscience, and her right not to be discriminated against.

		Died Pretty are engaging in the time honoured tradition of waiting until the silly season is well and truly over before they release the album - for reasons it's hard to fault.
		Another aspect of the elemental sound of early Died Pretty that has returned to the fore is producer Rob Younger, vocalist with the legendary (and soon-to-be-reformed) Radio Birdman and studio-sound svengali of renown.
		Younger produced Died Pretty's first recordings in 1984, as well as their first album, and has always kept abreast of their music.

		It seems that this is all we're ever going to hear of Died Pretty's last album, although a full album's worth of songs apparently reached the demo stage before the band decided to pull the plug.
		There was a story about Died Pretty singer Ron Peno, printed in an Australian music newspaper, not long after the days when he was a Stooges-infatuated singer using the names "Ronnie Pop" and "Riggy", fronting Radio Birdman faves The Hellcats, back in the late '70s.
		Died Pretty have been pricking the balloon of expectation for as long as I've been seeing or listening to them.

		One thing's for certain about the personalities in Died Pretty, and that is that if everyone wasn't basically happy with the way things went, things were changed.
		While we're on the subject of engine rooms, Died Pretty has always had a few essential elements to their sound, one of which is a certain style of bass playing.

	Luna Kafé - Steve Clark: Where the River Meets the Sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Debut album release for Clark, one-time bassist for true gems Died Pretty in the late eighties/early nineties.
		Several tracks, including "Close" feature the towering electric guitar of Died Pretty's Brett Myers.
		In fact, the edgy rise and fall of "Crawlback" is very similar to the thunder of Died Pretty's "Winterland", which is not to take away from this album, but serves as a fond reminder of Myers' aural driving skills where Died Pretty were concerned.

	Died Pretty : Every Brilliant Eye - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		For the first radical change in its recording career, Died Pretty decamped to Los Angeles to be produced by Jeff Eyrich, veteran boardsman for such roots rock acts as the Blasters and T-Bone Burnett.
		This all said, there's real drama and threat on Every Brilliant Eye, ensuring that Died Pretty are in no danger of approaching mainstream banality.
		The slow burn of "The Underbelly" is a great example of the band's continuing powers, with the Clark/Chris Welsh rhythm section providing some strong body slams, Hoey's piano appropriately forceful, and Peno's vocals at their considerable best.

	The History of Rock Music. Died Pretty: biography, discography, reviews, links
		I Died Pretty vennero alla luce nel periodo di transizione fra il dark-punk e gli shoegazer e la loro musica contiene elementi di entrambi, filtrati attraverso il rozzo garage-rock dell'Australia.
		Il gruppo, formato a Sydney, contava di tre forti personalita`: Brett Myers (chitarra), Frank Brunetti (tastiere) e Ronnie Peno (canto).
		Energico e disperato, il lamento dei Died Pretty sfoglia le pagine consunte dello spleen adolescenziale con rinnovata enfasi, non ignaro delle litanie di Patti Smith e dei melodrammi di Bruce Springsteen.
