Splash Stories caught up with Mary Byker well known for his work as the lead singer of Gaye Bykers on Acid, Pop Will Eat Itself, Pigface and Apollo 440 and as a record producer and DJ/MC.  We spoke just before he headed off to pick up his new pair of glasses before the start of the Gaye Bykers on Acid's Intermittent Fasting Tour which kicks off 5 Sept 2024 .  
GBOA released two indie chart-topping singles, “Everythang's Groovy” and “Nosedive Karma” on In-Tape records before being signed to Virgin Records. In 1987  they released their debut LP “Drill Your Own Hole” which was the soundtrack to an ambitious film of the same name, & toured the US and Europe. During this time Mary made friends with Chicago’s infamous Cynthia plaster caster, played Glastonbury Festival, Roskilde, Supported the Red-Hot Chilli Peppers and undertook a memorable European tour with the Ramones and supported Motorhead in Hammersmith. This was followed by the Jon Langford produced critically acclaimed album “Stewed to The Gills” and Mary's favourite track: Harmonious Murder. Mary also played The Splash Club with Hyperhead. Don't miss this lovable rogue and his many memorable tales
