The Immaculate Consumptive ft. Lydia Lunch, Nick Cave, Marc Almond, and J.G Thirlwell. NME Nov. 12, 1983

The four met in London while Lunch was filming 'Like Dawn to Dust'. Cave and Thirlwell were working on the track 'Wings Off Flies' from Cave's debut album. Both had previously worked with Marc Almond, who was taking a break from Soft Cell.

They traveled to New York for a Halloween event Lunch had planned and performed from October 27th to the 29th. The group only lasted 3 days, with Cave bored with the group.
