In 1984 Farmlife split up, and Andy "Jesus" Mosquera (vocals), Steve Gerrard (guitar), Mark Thompson (drums) formed The Bomb Party, with Sarah Corina (bass).
They took their name from a Graham Greene novel,[3] debuting in 1985 with the Ray Gun EP on the Abstract label, the new sound described as "a Molotov cocktail of hardcore grebo gothability lying somewhere between The Cramps and Bauhaus".
Signing to the Workers Playtime label, they released a second album, 1987's Liberace Rising, now featuring Leszek Rataj on guitar and keyboards, preceded by a compilation of their early Abstract singles, The Last Supper.
[3] Thompson subsequently joined members of Gaye Bykers on Acid and The Janitors in the band G.R.O.W.T.H.,[1] who released the album For Lack Of Horses They Staddle Dogs.
