Artist History by Brent Ritchey - Led Condom first started as the musical wing of The Legion of Decency...not to be confused with the group of the same name from the Twenties and Thirties. 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. Great songs were created and recorded for all to hear. In fact, the session went so well that Led Condom decided that there would be other shows...the Prophylactic Tour was born. Recordings were made at the various shows played by Led Condom and these recordings were made available to the public. Response was amazing...or maybe it was just amazing that there was a response...either way Led Condom had become the premier trash-metal punk band to call Sycamore, IL their home. Sycamore must be proud. 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.
