Biography

(1977 – 1986)

The Virgin Prunes was an experimental post-punk band. The band formed in 1977 and disbanded in 1986 after the departure of member Gavin Friday.

Known for its outrageous and controversial stage performances led by the bands’ theatrical singer/songwriter Friday, they first began playing small shows in Dublin gaining them a cult audience and ridicule from the culturally conservative community. With an audience the band were able to issue their first single in 1980, the independently-produced Twenty Tens (I’ve Been Smoking All Night), which led to a deal with the Rough Trade Records.
