Snippets of an announcement for 20 December 1979
* Our thanks for this one go to the original photographers at Expelaires

Before he met Andrew Eldritch and before the two of them decided

to form The Sisters of Mercy (in order to have their songs played on the radio)

Gary Marx was the singer and lyricist of the Leeds-based band Naked Voices.

The Naked Voices played a few gigs during the later 1970ies.

As the snippets of the announcement on the right suggest, one of these gigs took place

at Brannigan's Fan Club XMas Party (F-Club) on 20 December 1979, where they shared

the stage with other local acts such as the Expelaires, the Abrasive Wheels

and a few more.

Naked Voices - Demo Cassette (Cover)

In June 1979, a small number of demo-tapes

featuring four tracks and recorded at Ric Rac Studio

in Leeds were produced.

As cover art, the Naked Voices chose some b/w drawing in style of

the famous painting The Scream by Edward Munch.

Decades later one of the cassettes would surface in an online auction,

accompanied by some blue A4 paper sheets with the complete lyrics.

*** According to confirmed information, drummer Martin Taylor is NOT a relative of a certain Andrew Taylor.
