Bloody Mannequin Orchestra
- Bloody Mannequin Orchestra
Bloody Mannequin Orchestra were an influential early 1980s punk band from Bethesda, MD. They formed around a tiny, but active, scene at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School and were part of the larger D.C hardcore community. [Andersen & Jenkins 2001 p. 131] The band members were Colin Sears, Roger Marbury, Alex Mahoney, Sharon Cheslow and Charles Bennington.
Cheslow had been in Chalk Circle, "the first all-female band to emerge from harDCore," before BMO. [Andersen & Jenkins 2001 p. 93] Sears and Marbury went on to form the mid-'80s Revolution Summer era Dischord Records band Dag Nasty with Brian Baker of Minor Threat. [Andersen & Jenkins 2001 p. 192-96]
BMO released cassettes and the "Roadmap to Revolution" LP on WGNS, a label started by Sears, Cheslow and Geoff Turner (later in Gray Matter). Cheslow and Sears also published the fanzine "If This Goes On". BMO, like other Bethesda bands, were known for their smart, playful music with a political consciousness. [Andersen & Jenkins 2001 p. 131]
