Virgin Prunes are an Irish post-punk/experimental band from Dublin associated with the Lypton Village scene and known for theatrical, ritualistic performances and the 1982 album ...If I Die, I Die. Gavin Friday is the group's best-known vocalist.

Formed in Dublin and linked to the Lypton Village artistic circle; noted for avant-garde, theatrical performances and dark-wave/post-punk recordings. Key releases include ...If I Die, I Die and Heresie.

Three DeBaser reviews present Virgin Prunes as an avant-garde Irish post-punk/dark-wave act rooted in Dublin's Lypton Village. ...If I Die, I Die is repeatedly praised (1982) as a peak of their ritualistic, theatrical sound. Reviews highlight pagan, ritual, and heretical imagery and the band's rejection of mainstream commerciality.

For:Fans of post-punk, dark-wave, gothic and experimental music; readers of DeBaser.

 Formed in the multimedia commune of "Lypton Village" (one of the most important artistic and cultural circles in Dublin), the Virgin Prunes represented a unique adventure within the British dark-wave scene of the early '80s.
