Corpse Grinders

Glam punk band from New York City, NY, USA. Originally active from May 1977 to November 1978 before reforming in the early '80s. Corpse Grinders were formed by bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane and guitarist Rick Rivets, high school pals who founded the New York Dolls in 1970 or so (Rivets was subsequently replaced by Sylvain Sylvain before the Dolls really took off). They have been described as "primitive glam punk in the vein of early New York Dolls and the Voidoids; an essential chapter in the history of N.Y.C. punk rock."
