Location: London
Active: 1979 – 1991, 2000 – current
Among the early anarcho bands coming from the squats of the London punk scene, Rubella Ballet stood out. Not only was their sound diverse and propelling, but their adoption of the day-glo aesthetic would become one of their biggest trademarks. They formed 1979 with Sid Truelove aka Sidation (later of Flux of Pink Indians), Gem Stone and Pete Fender (formerly of Fatal Microbes, later of Omega Tribe) going on stage spontaneously at a CRASS/Poison Girls gig. Zillah Minx would join after initial singer Annie Anxiety left. They would continue to share the stage with both bands on a regular basis. Siblings Stone and Fender are the children of Poison Girls singer, Vi Subversa. Their first releases were on the Poison Girls’ XNTRIX label. Their members would change several times around Zillah, until they ended in 1991, then reforming in 2000.
