Artist Biography
by Chris True
Rising out of the ashes of the disbanded
Mission of Burma, drummer
Peter Prescott put together
the Volcano Suns with bassist
Jeff Weigand and guitarist
Jon Williams to continue making rock music, but to do it in a lighter, less serious way than
Prescott's former band. 1985 saw the band's debut,
The Bright Orange Years, released on Homestead. Their second and third releases -- also on Homestead -- saw a development in the band when
Weigand and
Williams left after album number two,
All Night Lotus Party. 1987's
Bumper Crop,
the Volcano Suns' third, was well received enough to get the band signed to SST for their next two albums:
Farced (1988) and
Thing of Beauty (1989). Considered the best lineup of them all, this incarnation (featuring the guest guitar work of
David Kleiler) would be the band's last. 1991's
Career in Rock (released on Quarterstick/Touch and Go) would prove to be the band's final release. In late 2005,
Prescott re-formed
the Volcano Suns and played reunion shows in Hoboken and Boston.
