The Wild Bunch

c.1983-1987·Bristol

The Wild Bunch began in 1983 when Milo Johnson and Nellee Hooper met at a gig pairing Magazine with Bauhaus, an unlikely meeting point between two post-punk acts for a crew that would go on to define itself through hip-hop, reggae and dub. The pair started throwing house parties and club nights, and Grant Marshall, later Daddy G, joined soon after, bringing with him, through his day job at Bristol's Revolver Records, records few people in the city had heard before.

The full story is in Bristol Trip Hop.
