Danny And The Dressmakers

Danny & The Dressmakers might be best known (if at all) for gifting Graham Massey to the world -after spending time in post-punk funksters Biting Tongues, he’d go on to fame as a member of techno outfit 808 State- but there’s so much more to Danny & The Dressmakers, one of the finest exponents of “bad music” circling around the Weird Noise, Fuck Off Records etc. They released a batch of cassettes -'Go Mental', '200 Cancellations', '39 Golden Grates'- pitched in with various compilations, played some wild shows where their performance antics were every bit as important as the wigginess of their improvised non-songs, and generally terrorised Manchester for a couple of years: all highly admirable pursuits.
