Gaye Bykers On Acid were formed in 1984 in Leicester (U.K.) by Ian ‘Mary’ Hoxley (vocals) and Ian ‘Robber’ Reynolds (bass), joined by Tony Horsfall (guitar) and Kevin Hyde (drums) and later by DJ Ronnie Rocket. They were regarded as a part of the ‘grebo’ movement whose bands distinguished themselves by their ragged and greasy looks. Musically, most grebo bands tended to mix different rock styles with samples and loops.
In the late 1980s Crazyhead, Gaye Bykers On Acid, The Bomb Party and The Hunters Club were part of the nearest thing the city has ever had to its own scene. With the nation under the spell of the limp Housemartins, Leicester's leather-clad noise-sters turned their guitars up to 11 and headed out of the city, leaving a tell-tale trail of empty beer cans in their wake.
Singer Mary Mary, so-named because he looked like Mary Millington, is now with Apollo 440.
