[edit] History

The Fluid were originally called Madhouse, and became The Fluid upon the arrival of vocalist John Robinson. Their first show drew a large crowd of around 400 people, and they released their first album in 1986, Punch N Judy. It was The Fluid live show that set them apart from many other Denver punk bands in the mid-1980's. Part MC5, part Black Flag, and part Rolling Stones, the group of 5 young men from Denver, Boulder, and Austin, Texas, appealed to nearly anyone in attendance. It is widely felt by many in present day alternative rock community, that if The Fluid had come 5 years later, they may have become as widely recognized as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or Soundgarden.
