Bonemen of Barumba were a unique punk/gothic punk band from the early 80s. They released three records during their lifetime and played at the 2005 O'Banions reunion, though Mark Panick was the only original member. They also made a video (very rare for the bands of that era) and even made a float and participated in a parade in Villa Park.

Shortly after the release of the debut LP for Fever, internal tensions within the band forced the breakup. (from punkdatabase.com)
