Experimental Irish new wave mavericks VIRGIN PRUNES were known as “the most
overtly subversive rock group ever to come out of the genre.” Their reputation was built
on outrageous stage performances and a unique collection of record releases. The
band disbanded in 1986 after co-founder and driving force Gavin Friday left to pursue
a solo career.
