Freak Party
Freak Party was a short-lived Manchester funk band that consisted of future members of the Smiths. Its members were schoolmates Johnny Maher on guitar, Andy Rourke on bass, and Simon Wolstencroft, later of the Fall, on drums. The band broke up because they could not find a decent singer, in addition to the fact that Marr did not want to continue with the funk set up any longer. Freak Party made one demo; an instrumental called "Kraak Therapy" in 1981.
