Inspired by Velvet Underground and Iggy & The Stooges, Leather Nun was formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1979 by Jonas Almquist (vocals), recruiting the remains of former Gothenburg punkact Straitjacket: Bengt “Aron” Aronsson (guitar), Freddie Wadling (bass), and Gert Claesson (drums). The band’s name orginates from that of a London stripper, and in Nov 1979 recorded their debut EP, Slow Death which was released through Industrial Records.
