Green Jelly began life as Green Jello in 1981 in Kenmore, New York. The name was chosen due to the band's poor opinion of that flavor, and they decided that it also appropriately reflected the quality of their music. The band never attempted to be good, deciding instead to "disguise their lack of ability with stupid props," as their liner notes put it.
Devo was also a pioneer of the music video, creating many memorable clips that were popular in the early days of MTV, although their use of the video medium dates right back to their very first appearance on stage at Kent State University in 1973, which was recorded with an early black-and-white portable video system.
Skinny Puppy is a prominent industrial band, formed in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1982. Initially envisioned as an experimental side project by cEvin Key while he was in the new wave band Images In Vogue, Nivek Ogre soon joined as vocalist and Skinny Puppy evolved into a full-time project.
