The Prefab Messiahs

Purveyors of lighthearted garage area rock and roll revivalism, the Prefab Messiahs formed in 1981 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Primary users “Xerox” Feinberg, “Doc” Michaud, and bass participant Kris Thompson, all after that college students at Clark University or college, earned a revolving lineup of region musicians to greatly help play their ramshackle art-punk in region night clubs. Billy Brahm, Egg Al, and Tony Serrato had been each considered formal members at onetime. The group released only 1 cassette, 1983’s Flex YOUR BRAIN, before briefly disbanding that same calendar year. Nothing even more was heard in the music group until 15 years afterwards when a collection of live recordings and demos was released by Desperately Content. The 1998 Devolver compilation contained over one hour of previously unreleased materials, all recorded in the first ’80s. The music group then reunited sometimes for special occasions, including the regional Wormtown Anniversary Bash in 1998, 2003, and 2008. In early 2011, Nearly Ready Information released a 7″ one with two music from Devolver, “Frank Kafka/Prefab Sunlight,” and afterwards that calendar year, Fixed Identity released Peace Like & Alienation, a assortment of eight music remastered by Jay Rajeck (TRS-80). In June of 2012, the Prefab Messiahs met up with Bobb Trimble for the four-date 30th wedding anniversary tour of Massachusetts and NY. Inspired to provide it another move, the trio added Ned Egg towards the lineup and, for the very first time in three years, hit the studio room with new materials in 2013. On the other hand, Burger Information reissued Devolver on cassette before partnering with Kylam Information release a 2015’s MAINTAIN YOUR Stupid Dreams Alive, eight monitors of garage area/psych-pop in fashion at that time among rings like Thee Oh Views and Ariel Green.
