Rubella Ballet formed in 1979 by Sid Ation, Zillah Minx, Pete Fender & sister Gem Stone (Fatal Microbes) at the famous Crass gig at Conway Hall where Crass invited the audience to use their equipment and finish off the evening doing their own thing as they wanted and left the crowd in charge, so Sid got up on Penny’s drum kit, Zillah grabbed Steve’s mic, Pete & Gem taking the bass and guitar, it probably sounded well rough but it was the start of a very colourful part of what was and is the British anarcho punk scene. Sid whilst being in Rubella Ballet was also drumming for Flux of Pink Indians and played on the single Tube Disaster also supplying the music for the b side Sick Butchers and Background to malfunction, Flux did many gigs with Rubella Ballet and Sid ended up playing for both bands on the night, Sid left sometime after to play full time for Rubella Ballet ********
The band are well known for their psychedelic stage show and the use of nothing more than a UV lights, strobes and a bit of smoke to illuminate the band, the music has the same innovative psychedelic qualities fusing punk, tribal, dance and absolute weirdness into a myriad of music styles.********
Sid and Zillah synonymous for the shock value of wearing home made ultraviolet hand painted day-glo clothes along with their multi coloured day-glo hair cuts through the east end of London's, dark, violent, poor, ghettoized, shithole, (a direct result of Thatcher’s Government) everywhere they went people smiled and laughed at them instead of hurling abuse or wanting to beat them up or kill them for being different.******** Rubella Ballet have released their full back catalogue through Overground Records on two CD's with full colour 12 page booklets in both CD's ******** The first release 'ANARCHY IN THE U.V.' is now available here, just click on the image to purchace online
Go to our blog section to view the reviews the band have already received ******** Anarchy In The U.V. includes two unreleased tracks, their debut cassette tape Ballet Bag (1982) , the 4 track 7" EP Ballet Dance (1982), their debut album At Last Its Play Time (1985) and the 12” version of Money Talks (1985) all digitally remastered and packed in a 12-page booklet ******** The second release 'NEVER MIND THE DAY-GLO' is to be available early 2010 also on Overground records ******* The band are also working on new material for a very long awaited new album with possible release time late 2010
