2014 album. "They were the band who bridged the gaps between The Sex Pistols, X-Ray Spex, and Crass." ~TylerVile Punk Globe Dec. 2013. Rubella Ballet formed in 1979, with the nucleus of the band coming from a gig where Crass invited the audience to use their equipment and finish the gig. The band subsequently toured with Crass and the Poison Girls before touring with punk and goth bands around the world. Rubella Ballet hail from the Anarcho punk scene but are equally at home playing the Goth scene as they were also part of its early conception as newly formed goth bands supported Rubella ballet. The band became infamous for creating the Day-Glo Death Rock punk scene with their different and innovative style of music and the shock value of wearing ultraviolet Day-Glo clothes.
