Biography:
Taking their name from the Bacchus and his toxic cult of frenzied pleasure worshippers, The Bacchae, a female-fronted garage band indulge a decadent glam aesthetic and theatrical live show. Their initial impulse to create music together came from a shared passion for the hedonistic 60s' garage punk and psychedelia, and their interests gradually expanded into early 70s protopunk and glam rock territory - with influences including The Stooges, Velvet Underground, T-Rex and Roxy Music.
Their retrospective influences, however, demonstrate only a deep-rooted and well-nourished obsession with music that must not be mistaken for dwelling in the past. The Bacchae seek only to delight the spirit of punk that still has a firm place in the present and of course the ever exciting future of music.
