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

With absence of your lessons
The passion of your crimes
Engulfed in heated fires
Wet from the sweat of your nights endeavors
Does it make any sense to come here tonight
Oh they're trying to confuse you
'Cause nothing works quite right
Surrounded by a secret
Growing old with your lies
You can't compete with it
Where the phantoms reside
Can't run away with it
Those phantoms are your lies
Haunted by voices from deep in your minds
Locked in memories too painful to recall
I want to know the truth

Surrounded by a secret
Growing old with your lies
You can't compete with it
Where the phantoms reside
Can't run away with it
Those phantoms are your lies
With absence of your lessons
Growing old with your lies
You can't compete with it
Where the phantoms reside
Can't run away with it
Those phantoms are your lies
Surrounded by a secret
Growing old with your lies
You can't compete with it
Where the phantoms reside
Can't run away with it
Those phantoms are your lies
