The Lime Spiders

Lime Spiders were an Australian post-punk unit resurrecting the trashier elements of '60s garage and psychedelic rock with willful abandon. Vocalist Mick Blood formed the band in the early '80s with guitarist Gerald Corben, bassist Tony Bambach and drummer Ricky Lawson. The band recorded two singles during 1983 (released on the 'Slave Girl EP' two years later) and signed to Virgin Records. Lime Spiders' first album was the excellent 'The Cave Comes Alive!', but the following year's 'Volatile' was a bit of disappointment, veering closer to stultifying hard rock. The group broke up after 1990's 'Beethoven's Fist'. [SOURCE: ALLMUSIC]
