Naked Lunch
Naked Lunch was formed in 1979. Their first live performance was at Studio 21 in London under the initial name of Sons of Perdition but decided to change it to Naked Lunch while having post gig drinks in the club. The first live performance as Naked Lunch took place in the Thomas A Becket Pub in SE London supporting a Punk Band. It was an interesting evening.....

Initially used live analog sequencers but it was difficult to change settings between songs and excepted that the sequences had to be recorded onto tape.

Although a live drummer was used, the only cymbals permitted were those of the hi hat any cymbal like sounds were deemed to be done by a synthesizer with adjustments of white noise with a volume and sustain control !

On the 18th of May 1981 the name Naked Lunch was registered by Tony Mayo to protect the band name and Naked Lunch continued writing and recording through out the 80's and in the 90's.
