The Decayes

Long Beach, California-based experimental rock band formed in the mid 1970s by Ron Kane.

Darrel Rose co-founded the group as a vocalist, with Paul Sakrison soon joining in. They fleshed out to a full band later and gradually shifted to an indie-rock post new-wave type sound. The band had an ever-mophing line-up with members of Los Angeles Free Music Society featured, as well as Rick Snyder (of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band). After releasing 5 albums, Kane disbanded The Decayes in 1984.

Around the time of Kane's retirement in 2014, the Decayes reappeared with the all-instrumental album "Aquarium"; their first to be fully recorded in a proper studio. The project ended for good with Ron Kane's passing on November 30, 2017.
