Emerging from Dublin's vibrant post-punk scene in 1977, Virgin Prunes captivated audiences with their avant-garde performances and eclectic soundscapes. Founded by childhood friends Gavin Friday and Guggi, alongside Dik Evans (brother of U2's The Edge), the band blended post-punk, gothic rock, and industrial music, drawing inspiration from Irish literature and folklore. Their discography includes seminal works like "A New Form of Beauty" (1981) and "If I Die, I Die" (1982). Renowned for their theatricality and boundary-pushing artistry, Virgin Prunes left an indelible mark on the alternative music landscape.
