Until December came together in San Francisco in November 1984, founded by Adam Sherburne, Bryan Weisberg and Greg Senzer, and they made dark, driving dance-rock for the city's leather-clad night crawlers. The band found an especially devoted following in the leather subculture, and it's easy to hear why: pounding rhythms, brooding vocals and a sleek, menacing edge.
They put out four 12" singles on 415 Records and CBS in 1985 before their self-titled album arrived in 1986, with "Heaven" as their biggest hit. The song "Until December" was another favorite, and they also took on Bauhaus's "Bela Lugosi's Dead". They headlined their own US tours and went out with New Order, Gene Loves Jezebel and Specimen, and near the end they grew into a five-piece, adding Mark Pistel on bass and Specimen's Tim Huthert as a second drummer.
After the split, Sherburne went on to form Consolidated, Weisberg started Maximillion's Motorcycle Club with Huthert, and Senzer, their drummer, kept playing with bands around the Bay Area.
