The Ullulators... Gavin Griffiths, Joie Hinton, Generator John, Nick Van Gelder, Jane Bradfield, Kay Springer, Chambers & Andy Ull. Formed in 1985, The Ullulators statyed together as a band up until 1991, members also played in the Oroonies, Ozric Tentacles & The Thunderdogs. Jane later went on to become the legendary Nana Obscuri, and fronted the Cheapsuit Oroonies & the band was then put on hold when some of the members left to join up with Circus Archaos.
Their music was more diverse, including festival reggae, squat funk and lysergic dub.. . the early tapes released on Better Days (‘Beyond The Gates Of Ull’, ‘Share A Clam with the Ullulators ’ and ‘Monads of Mangonia’) were heavily influenced by dub reggae & eastern melodies but still had a strong spacerock flavor to them. Their debut album, "Flaming Chaos" was released by Demi Monde in 1989 which increased an already growing cult following. Contrary to other accounts, The Ullulators played for many years after their surpposed demise, playing at free festivals in the southwest every summer.Happy Summer Solstice everyone.The Ullulators - Monads of Mangonia
