Trying to determine just when and how Demented Are Go started is not an exact science as the band members themselves admit that their memories are not all that good, but we do know that by 1982 the band were up and running. Guitarist Dick Thomas (no relation to Ant) helped pull the whole thing together, having been in a lot of bands before Demented he knew how to get things moving. Demented Are Go had their first release on the 1984 Nervous records compilation Lp ‘Hells Bent On Rockin’ but it was not until about 18 months later that their album ‘In Sickness And In Health’ was released on ID Records. A few years on the band members could be found all living in the same squat in London with no electricity - this would have been around ‘87-88-ish. They started writing songs acousticly, by candle light. These songs surfaced - again on ID - as the album ‘Kicked Out Of Hell’. Tours of Germany and mainland Europe followed and Demented found themselves playing at punk gigs as well psycho events. Spark started living at various big organised squats and existing on diet of drugs and alcohol.

Ant recalls: “Spark was going more and more off his head. Graeme and Lex both left the band at the same time and nothing really happened for a few months.

very nice band, normally not my kind of music but strangely this band is very very cool ;) . Noisy rock'nroll with a sinister touch. I really really like those guys. Looks like I should check out some more psychobilly music, perhaps there are some other psychobilly bands with this kind of dark sound.
