Stabilizing the lineup with the addition of Nik Turner (the Barracudas) and Dave Tregunna (Sham 69) on drums and bass respectively, Lords Of The New Church quickly established themselves as a must-see live act due to the wild, death-defying (literally!) stage antics of Bators. The band enjoyed a couple of minor hits, including a version of the Grass Roots' "Live For Today," but their visceral, often bleak music was no match for their powerful live show. In 1988, while Bators was recuperating from a back injury, James advertised for a new singer, effectively breaking up the band. Bators was later struck by a car in Paris and died from the injuries he sustained, effectively killing off any hope of reconciliation. - Linda RyanPunken720Fri, 4 Dec 2009 15:23:29 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6858&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Flords-of-the-new-church%2Fplaylists.rss Lords Of The New Church were formed when frontman Stiv Bators re-acquainted himself with former Damned guitarist Brian James in 1981.
