about
Formed in Denver, Colorado around 1981, Your Funeral released at least one 45rpm 7" single. The initial lineup featured Jeri Cain Rossi (later of Black Cat Bone) on vocals, Karen Sheridan (later of Corpses as Bedmates) on bass, and Cleo Tilde on percussion. This lineup released the 7" single "I Want To Be You", with Rossi's vocals and classic early-80s gothic/deathrock sounding guitars and production. The b-side "Final Abyss" has a dark tribal foundation and Lydia Lunch-like vocals. This is a nice forgotten gem in any gothic rock vinyl collection. Both tracks also appear on the 'Local Anaesthetic' (the name of the band's label) compilation distributed by Wax Trax. The initial lineup disbanded, then Rossi reformed the band with Phil Teague on lead guitar and Michael Sidlow on drums; Rossi sang and played bass. This incarnation of the band would perform frequently around Denver, including 1983 gig opening for The Birthday Party, before eventually disbanding.
