Fang (band)
Fang is an American hardcore punk band, formed in Berkeley, California in 1980. The group was originally part of the punk rock scene in Berkeley, California in the 1980s. Fang initially broke up in 1989 when vocalist Sam McBride was sent to prison for killing his girlfriend, Dixie Lee Carney. Upon his release, in 1995, McBride changed his name to Sammytown and reformed Fang.
==History==
Fang's first record under the name Fang was an "experimental record", according to the band;〔''Fang's MySpace'' at (); retrieved on May 7, 2008〕 the "Yukon Fang" single. Fang guitarist Tom Flynn and bass player Brian Beattie, his former bandmate from the bands Tapeworm and Safety Patrol, put out "Yukon Fang" as a duo and Fang was formed. The original incarnation of Fang toured the country once, only to break up shortly thereafter with Beattie moving on to Texas where he later formed the band Glass Eye. In the early fall of 1981, Flynn began playing with drummer Chris Ritter. They soon added bass player Chris Wilson and began playing shows in the Bay Area as a three piece, with Flynn on vocals.〔( 2010 interview with Chris Ritter at )〕 While this was happening, Sam McBride, the band's soon-to-be vocalist, was singing with future Fang drummer Greg Langston in the band Shut Up. In early 1982, Ritter was replaced with drummer Joel Fox, and at Fox's audition he brought along his friend McBride, who volunteered to be the band's singer.〔Boulware, Jack and Tudor, Silke. "Gimme Something Better" Penguin Press, 2009. Interviews with Flynn and McBride.〕 The lineup solidified as McBride (vocals), Chris Wilson (bass), Tom Flynn (guitar), and Joel Fox (drums). Together they contributed the song "Fun with Acid" to the ''Not So Quiet on the Western Front'' compilation album.〔''Fang's Discography Short-Form'' at (); retrieved on May 7, 2008〕 Shortly thereafter, guitarist Tom Flynn founded the label Boner Records and released Fang's debut album ''Landshark'' and their EP ''Where the Wild Things Are''.〔Blush, Steve. Petros, George. ( American Hardcore: A Tribal History ). ''Feral House''. 2001.〕 Tim Stiletto drummed on the latter. These two releases are now considered classic East Bay punk.〔''Fang's Discography Long-Form'' at ();retrieved on May 7, 2008〕
The original lineup of Fang dissolved in 1985 after the departure of founder Tom Flynn. Sammytown carried on the band, recruiting a new lineup of Bill Collins (guitar), Joe Miller (bass), and Steve Chinn (drums). Flynn and Boner Records remained affiliated with the band, putting out the first tracks by the new lineup on a Boner Records compilation, ''Then Boners Be Poppin in 1985. In January 1986, the "Spun Helga" LP was recorded in West Germany with McBride singing vocals, and two Germans named Joe (Guitar) and Ollie (Drums) playing instruments. We Bite Records in Germany released the LP, but in the U.S. it was handled by National Trust Records. Fang next released was 1987's "A Mi Ga Sfafas?" (The title literally means "Give Me Head?"). In 1988/89, drummer Mike Branum replaced Chinn and Fang recorded the album "Pissed Off Buddah", which remained unreleased until 2008, when it was released with Fang's other albums "Spun Helga" and "A Mi Ga Sfafas?"〔''Fang's MySpace'' at ();retrieved on May 7, 2008〕
By 1989, the band had entered a decline, and had become inactive with Sammytown's crippling heroin addiction. Turning his efforts towards drug dealing for income, Sam McBride eventually strangled his girlfriend, Dixie Lee Carney, to death and lead police on a manhunt for six months. McBride claims he was aided by informants in the punk rock community of reports to police to stay ahead. McBride also alleges that his former bandmates, Collins, Miller, and Branum turned on him and provided information to police.〔http://darkali911.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-1-2-fang.html〕 Upon being apprehended in Alaska, McBride was sentenced to six years in prison for voluntary manslaughter.〔Yockel, Michael.
