History

By Brent

Led Condom first started as the musical wing of The Legion of Decency. The purpose of this group escapes me, but it seemed to revolve around ingesting large quantities of alcohol and causing general mayhem in our town.

Then one fateful night in June, June 25, 1988 to be exact, Led Condom played their first show in Waterman, IL. The music flowed from the musical giants like the alcohol flowed through their veins. The session went so well that Led Condom decided that there would be other shows...the Prophylactic Tour was born.

Led Condom, like all great super-bands, eventually broke up. Members moved away to attend college, other members just got burned out from the demand of meeting the public's expectations. In the end Led Condom became Ded Condom. Only their recordings live on.

Musical Influences

AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Metallica, Motorhead, Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, and cheap Vodka.

Discography

JTMD (July '88)

The first album. JTMD stands for John Toles Must Die (the physics teacher who tormented the members). Includes the anthem song "Led Condom" and the ballad "Let's Go Pick Flowers in the Grass".

In Tom (Winter '88)

The second album. Contains remastered versions of JTMD tracks and new songs showing musical growth. Features the underground hit "Let the Children Come" and the experimental "The Hangover Song".

Had Enough? (Spring '89)

Breaks new ground in recording quality (actual microphones used!). Features covers of "Communication Breakdown" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go". This marked the end of an era before the band dissolved.

Ded Condom (Spring '92)

The controversial fourth album. A super-group effort resembling an unrehearsed jam session. Contains "Crossroads/Parasite Blues" and "Four Guitar Blues".
