Gavin Friday

Gavin Fri was the lead singer and primary visionary of 1 of Ireland’s most ambitious, challenging, and (frequently) challenging post-punk groupings, the Virgin Prunes. After departing the Prunes in 1986, he empty the music business to color for a calendar year . 5, time for the fray after teaming up with pianist Maurice Roycroft (whom Fri renamed the person Seezer). The duo’s 1989 debut, Each Man Kills finished . He Loves, discovered him making unforeseen moves right into a type of modern-day cabaret design, albeit with all the current Bowie-isms of his vocal delivery unchanged. 1992’s Adam ‘N’ Eve was a significantly less interesting follow-up which discovered him handling his dark visions with an even more standard-issue contemporary rock sound. Fri collaborated with Bono to create three monitors (two which had been Bono-Friday vocal duets) for the favorite 1993 film In the Name of the daddy, and came back to a far more cabaret-ish setting on 1995’s Shag Cigarette. In 1996, Fri and Seezer added the melody “Angel” towards the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack, among various other film function; this path culminated in 1997 with a complete rating for the film The Boxer, that was released early in 1998.
