Dr. Phibes and The House Of Wax Equations - Hypnotwister 1993

Formed in the late 80s at South Cheshire College of Further Education, England, where they all studied music, Dr. Phibes quickly became one of the north west’s most important dance bands. The name is taken from two separate Hammer Horror films. The band comprises Howard King Jnr. (vocals/guitars), Lee Belsham (bass), and Keith York (drums). Their recording debut came with the 1990 12-inch ‘Sugarblast’, which preceded their long playing debut in April 1991. Topping the independent charts for two weeks, it generated significant media coverage and critical acclaim. Their music is an eclectic, but primarily rhythmic mix, of blues, funk and psychedelia. Recording sessions for their second album were disturbed when Belsham injured a shoulder. His colleague York drove off in their van, unbeknownst to Belsham who was still lying on top of it. AMG.
