Formed in 1985 by Rick Gough, Guitars, Steve Kaye, Vocals and Ian Brewer, Keyboards, Rehearsal For Murder began as a post punk rock band. Using rhythm machines and synths gave the band a definate dance edge, but the pure power has always been there. After several line up changes the band was following a pure Gothic route until finally disbanding in 1991. Several short lived attempts at reformation have followed so for now the band only exists in the studio where Rick works on material alone.
