Rites Of Spring, from Washington, DC, formed in 1984 from the ashes of Insurrection, a hardcore band featuring Brendan Canty (drums), Michael Fellows (bass) and Guy Picciotto (guitar).
Following Insurrection's demise, Guy, Brendan and Michael kept jamming together and guitarist Eddie Janney soon joined the mix, while Guy added vocals to his responsibilities.
The people that followed the band made it a point to never miss a gig, as Rites Of Spring seemed to approach every show as if it was their last. The results could be explosive, often resulting in the destruction of their equipment and this may well be one reason that they ended up playing only 15 shows.
It was the boldness of this band that really contributed to the swell of energy, often referred to as "Revolution Summer", that swept over the D.C. scene in 1985.
During their life span, the band released one LP and one 7" EP. They split upon the release of the EP, in January of 1987, when Michael Fellows left the band.
The members of Rites Of Spring reformed as Happy Go Licky in 1987, pursuing a sound very different from Rites Of Spring.
Band members:
Guy Picciotto - guitar, vocals
Eddie Janney - guitar
Michael Fellows - bass
Brendan Canty - drums.
