The Ancestry were one of many Goth bands that appeared in the early 90's. They released a number of home made demo tapes and one professionally produced 12" single in the time they were together. The band consisted of (future) husband & wife Mike Pye (Guitar) and Joie Slater (Vocals) with Wez (Bass) as the other member of the band.
Style: Gothic Rock, old school goth
Years: 1990-1991
Country: Great Britain
The Ancestry had the original line up:
Mike Pye - Guitars
Sean G - Bass
Dave R - Vocals
Pete - Guitars
Drums - Some Alesis drum machine
(In Dave R's words) We use to rehearse in Joie's house - she was the unofficial manager and Mike's bit. Back in 1988, Pete got pissed off and left, I went to Liverpool to kick off His Last Parade and Joie took over vocal duties after purchasing lots of shiny new kit for the remaining lads and away they went....
Gep (Sean G) left to pursue other interests (Realms of Flame, later Empyrean) after a memorable gig at the Barrel, where he walked off stage after 2 songs and left the band bass-less for the rest of the gig.
