The Dead Boys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (442 words) |
 | The Dead Boys were a punk band that formed in Cleveland, Ohio about 1975, evolving out of the band Rocket From The Tombs. |
| Sire Records pressured the group to change their look and sound to appeal more to the US mainstream (which had yet to embrace punk on the level seen in the UK) and this contributed to Dead Boys breaking up in 1979. |
| The Dead Boys only had two official full lengths, however many labels have released rough material and outtakes in the years following their breakup. |
| The SF Site Featured Review: Cythera / Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things (1406 words) |
| Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things depicts a mid-21st century society consumed by its own consumerism: "designer dolls" (fully functioning androids) transmit a virus through sexual relations with humans that eventually infects female offspring, slowly transforming these children into dolls, beginning at about the time of puberty. |
| Hence the term, "Dead Girls" (and, as you might gather from the full title, the virus progresses to cross genders). |
| While Dead Girls could stand alone (not an uncommon trait for most trilogies), Dead Boys not only seems an unfinished work (also not uncharacteristic of trilogies), it is virtually incomprehensible without the framing first and third stories. |
