The Bloody Mannequin Orchestra (BMO) was formed in the DC suburb of Bethesda sometime around 1982. It emerged, much as life did from the primordial soup, by happenstance: the original motive was nothing more than to gather in Colin's basement and make noise. Even prior to this, roots of BMO's eventual path could be found: many of the original band members would gather at Charles' house after school and rap out improvised lyrics to "Cool as Shit," which ultimately became a BMO classic...
These are photos from concerts where Bloody Mannequin Orchestra played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
