Dry Rib

Dry Rib were a band formed in 1978. Originally they were a 3-piece featuring Rob Vasey on guitar, Mike Mulholland on bass and Andrew Goodwin on drums, based in London. In 1979 they released an EP on Edward Ball's Clockwork label. Later that year Rob Vasey left the band and the line-up was extended to include Bernie Martin on guitar, Joni Dee Sackett on vocals, Paul Kendall on alto saxophone and Ray Kent on keyboards. Vasey went on to form a band called As Hem Syrup in the early 1980s which was followed by Sinking Sun King a couple of years later. Most of the material recorded by the early version of Dry Rib plus material from As Hem Syrup and some other solo Vasey recordings have been released on Chuck Warner's Messthetics series as Messthetics #213, titled 'Whose Last Trickle'. A couple of other Dry Rib tracks are also available on earlier Messthetics compilations. Currently Vasey is working under the name Neureille. [SOURCE: LAST.FM]
