Gourt Home::Gourt :: Sheep on Drugs
Sheep on Drugs was a left-field UK group formed by charismatic English loons Duncan X (vocals) and Lee Fraser (guitar / keys). Originally classified as off-the-wall ravers, the duo emerged in the early 1990's with a string of electrifyingly great singles - "Motorbike", "15 Minutes Of Fame", "Track X" (later covered by Grace Jones), which grazed the lower reaches of the mainstream UK charts.
Their debut album, Greatest Hits, was released on Island Records in 1993* to some acclaim from the UK music press. However with their Grand Guignol style stage shows and a musical mixture of sleazy rock, hard techno and punk nihilism, SOD found themselves pigeonholed as an "industrial" band, and the 1994 follow-up album "On Drugs" (the title was decidedly un-ironic by this point) was a commercial and critical disappointment.
Dropped by Island and heading for the US, Sheep On Drugs released their third album "One for the Money" and a live recording "Two for the Show" on Invisible Records in 1996. By this time the formula had worn thin and frontman Duncan X departed Sheep On Drugs shortly afterwards. Fraser has apparently recently attempted to revive the group with himself as the frontman.
