The earliest group was started by Una Baines (The Fall, Blue Orchids) and two other women.
The Fates were formed when Blue Orchids broke up after a brief stint as Nico's backing band for a European tour.
In 1985 they released on Una Baines' own label, Taboo Records, the album "Furia"
a sometimes ritualistic, folk/rock with electronic sounds and many improvisational parts.
The album was dedicated to the Lancashire witches
who were murdered because their knowledge of herbal medicine, midwifery and many other skills
and also to the Tuatha De Dannan of Ireland whose way of life centered around a Mother/Goddess named Danu.
"Furia" was reissued by Finders Keepers Records/Bird in 2014.
