The band name was chosen when the band formed in the summer of the Gulf crisis, when the media were portraying it as a clean war with few casualities apart form the 107000 or so Iraqi civilians killed in Baghdad. It was topical wehn we chose it!

We play live as often as possible, although new guitarist Tony has been learning about 5 years worth of songs so it's been more rehearsing than gigging at the moment. We love playing live, and there's many special moments too numerous to mention, although one that springs to mind is supporting Steve Ignorant from Crass in his new band Scwwarzeneggar and having him tell us how much he liked the stuff....I mean WOW! Steve Ignorant!!

Then I just have to learn to use it properly!
Sorry, obvious smutty joke No.135 there....
If we make it big, then we'll spread our message of peace love and anarchy to a wordwide audience and start a new cult called the Church of the Bags where our followers are forced to pleasure us (hansome drummers especially) on a daily basis

Background: The BodyBags have been playing nationwide since 1993. With several singles and an 11-track CD released on Indie labels, they are waiting for that big break. The Bags write about the everyday anxieties of the modern age. The biting wit of 'Problem' with it's Dennis Hooper cop gone troppo. The gently-mocking '(I wanna die) Like a Rockstar' that portrays the egotistical rock star's most flamboyant, and sadly romantacised, demise. There is a new five-track CD Mini-Album due for release.

Our influences Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, Crass, Ministry, XTC, Mumia Abu Jamal, Fugazi, Crucif***s

The paradise I created inside my head

Any bands who want to swop CD's or tapes, drop us a line.
Oh yeah, and DON'T subscribe to a world government, we're headed that way with five corporations controlling all the worlds money and power, stay alert, be paranoid EVERYONE is out to get you!
