mp3: Dog Faced Hermans – Miss O’Grady (1989)
Dog Faced Hermans formed out of the ashes of punk-skronk combo Volunteer Slavery, and featured vocalist/trumpeter Marion Coutts, guitarist Andy Moor, bass player Colin McLean and drummer Will Plum.
Their debut EP Unbend was released on their own Demon Radge imprint. A 12″ Humans Fly and the Miss O’Grady/Bell Ciao single then appeared on music journalist Everett True‘s Calculus label. Hooking up with Dutch avant-garde punk band The Ex, Dog Faced Hermans moved to Amsterdam en masse, with their final records released through Alternative Tentacles, the label owned by Jello Biafra.
Moor continues to play with The Ex, McLean is a sound engineer and Plum drums with Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp. Coutts ia a renowned visual artist, and her book, The Iceberg, a memoir of her time caring for her partner, art critic Tom Lubbock prior to his death from a brain tumour, was published in 2015.
