The Ullulators were one of the bands that emerged during the early 80s uk free festival/squat scene, and along with the Oroonies, Omnia Opera,Webcore, Treatment, Magic Mushroom Band, Mandragora, Nukli and Ozric Tentacles created a loose underground family/network. Formed in 1985, as a side project of Gavin Griffiths of Ozric Tentacles, many of the band members also played in The Thunderdogs, house band for Circus Archaos.
Banging Bones was their sixth cassette album released via Better Days Distro & sold at gigs. Their music was always more diverse, mixing heavy spacey dub, trippy psychedelic funk, feverish cosmic freakouts and lysergic soundscapes... these tapes (‘Beyond The Gates Of Ull’, ‘Share A Clam with the Ullulators’ ‘Monads of Mangonia’, 'Yet Nam-Lai ') were heavily influenced by dub reggae & eastern melodies but still had a strong spacerock flavor to them. Their debut vinyl 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 free festivals in the southwest every summer.
