[edit] The Early Years (1983 - 1985)
Slaughterhouse was founded in 1983 by Bob Madigan (vocals) and Mark Ramos (bass) in Detroit, Michigan. Both were former members of the local thrash punk band The Nymphos.
"We were under the influence of The Misfits and Flipper and decided to form the worst band in the world."
stated Bob in an Oct. 30 1989 interview with Melissa Kray a staff writer for the local newspaper The South End.
"So we formed Slaughterhouse, wrote about six songs in one night, and I'd say at least four of them are still being played today."
Bob and Mark played with various musicians including Ellen (drums), who was later replaced by Janice Bogacki, and Larry Hackim (guitar).
In September of 1984 with the line up of Bob Madigan, Mark Ramos, Janice Bogacki and Larry Hackim Slaughterhouse embarked on a mini Michigan tour which culminated with the band warming up for Dr. Know at Laura Hall in western Michigan. After the tour ended Janice Bogacki was replaced by David Stanizewski (drums). Roy Kirchoff, ex Disinfect member, a second bass player, joined the group after Roy filled in for Mark during a rehearsal.
