Biography

During 1979-1990 in Los Angeles, the band was born in the chaos of the punk movement and churned out their own brand of ghoul rock that later was labeled the deathrock / gothic genre. In the beginning, the original lineup consisted of Dinah Cancer - vocals Paul Cutler - guitar Rob Graves - bass Don Bolles - drums. The song "Partytime (Zombie Version)" made it onto the movie sound track for RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Partytime made full rotation on MTV (1984) and the song "Evil", debut on MTV's The Cutting Edge in 1985. 45 Grave are cited in several rock music biographies to being a huge influence on many of the bands that surfaced from the L.A. scene. Their hit song Partytime is still licensed for tv and radio ads today. The bands momentum took a hit in 1991, when bassist Rob Graves passed away from an accidental overdose. The other members went their separate ways, pursuing their own musical projects. Actually the band is back, lead by the original cemetery girl herself, Dinah Cancer, on vocals. The line-up as of 2014 is Dinah Cancer (vocals), Dylan Thomas (guitar), Brandden Blackwell (bass), and Tom Coyne (drums).

LYRICS

It's a party of my charade
To keep all others of my day
A page in time goes both ways
The party has just begun, please stay
You can be mine, when the dream hits play
Dancing close, when the dream hits play
3 minute affair, when the dream hits play
Closed reality, when the dream hits play
My false smile hits the secret
Control the thought where the trouble begins
Hey, I need you for the night
It will stop when the dream hits play
That three minute fantasy for our gaze
It can't last, sorry you have to pay
'Cause the secret that I hide
Closed reality, when the dream hits play
As I wave goodbye, I think that dumb
To jeopardize my life to be her mate
That three minute fantasy for tonight
But what can I say
Looking for another, when the dream hits play
Looking for another, when the dream hits play
I'm not real, when the dream hits play
Sure I'm yours, when the dream hits play
But I am the loner, after the dream hits play
