By all accounts the first was the more notorious, concluding with the group trying to torch the studio they were recording in. The late '80s brought re-formation and an album release or two, but when former member Stu Spasm invited both core members to join his current band, Lubricated Goat, they concentrated on that for a few years. The group began its third, highest-profile life in the '90s when Bland hooked up with Mudhoney's Mark Arm for the latter's Monkeywrench project. Renestair ended up in the States as well, leading to a fully reactivated Bloodloss with Arm as the other key member. Three albums followed in fairly quick succession: 1993's In-a-Gadda-da-Change, 1995's Live My Way, and 1996's Misty. The group then took a long hiatus; in late 1999, Arm had mentioned that a new album's worth of material had been in the can for a few years, but that everyone needed to get their act together -- and get some more money -- before it could be finished for release. ~ Ned Raggett
