Rubella Ballet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rubella Ballet was an anarcho-punk band formed in 1980 by former Fatal Microbes guitarist Pete Fender with Zillah Minx, Gem Stone (also from Fatal Microbes) and Sid the drummer from Flux of Pink Indians. Bassist It from Fatal Microbes also briefly appeared in the band.
Rubella Ballet were known for wearing brightly coloured 'day glo' clothes on stage, in contrast (and reaction) to many other anarcho-punk bands who tended to wear black, 'army-surplus' style clothing.
The band released one album on cassette tape, entitled Ballet Bag and a 4 track 7" EP, "Ballet Dance". Following these early releases they went on to produce 4 further albums. The first two on Ubiquitous Records were 'At Last Its Play Time' (1985) and 'If' (1986). The next album 'Cocktail Mix' (1987) was produced on the Red Rhino label and the last album release 'At The End of The Rainbow' (1990) on Brave Records.
It was at this time that a compilation CD 'Greatest Trips' (1990) was produced on the Brave Label featuring many of the tracks from the first three albums.
