Rubella Ballet

Rubella Ballet is a day-glo anarcho-punk Peace band formed in 1979 by Sid Ation who lived at Poison Girls HQ Burley House in Epping just down the road from Crass's HQ Dial House. Sid first started the band with former Fatal Microbes guitarist Pete Fender (14) Gem Stone (12 drummer from Fatal Microbes), Bassist "It" (Fatal Microbes) also briefly appearing in the band in it's experimental early days was singer Annie Anxiety from New York who lived with Crass at dial house, Annie went on to do her own thing leaving the position open for Zillah Minx to take over as full time lead singer and introduce for the first time in punk history the now ubiquitous Ultra Violet Day-glo style and fashion the band have kept ever since. Many other bands have stolen the Rubella Ballet look (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) to name just one major band to the whole rave scene.
