The Gonads

The Gonads first formed in 1976 out of the remnants of Pink Tent, a seriously nutty group of teenage rock and Monty Python fans with situationist ideas above their station. We got together at school in Lee, South East London in 1970 and sstarted writing comedy sketches, then graduated into a sub-Dr Feelgood boogie band playing mate’s houses, parties and pubs. There were a few Gumbie-inspired street happenings outside the Tigers Head which are best forgotten.

Wisdom In Chains was started a few years back with members from America and Europe. Maarten, a guitar player from Holland in a band called Daredevil made the call to Richie and Mad Joe who where in Krutch at the time. Maarten had the idea to start an old school band, with heavy punk and oi influences. The three met while Krutch was on tour in Europe. The plans where made and Maarten came to the USA to record. The group released a self entitled CD on Gangstyle Records. Only one show was ever performed by the group due to the extreme distance between the members.
