History

Cristina Martinez's musical history
Jon Spencer's musical history
Kurt Wolf's musical history
Neil Hagerty's musical history
Tom Rafferty's musical history
Tom Smith's musical history
Rick Hall's musical history

Before they moved to NYC (1986/87) John Hammill was PG's drummer.
Peter Hayes was augmenting the band from 1985-1985/86 on rhythm guitar, he stayed in DC when the band decided to go on a US tour to promote Feel Good About Your Body. And when the band moved to NYC, he stayed in DC because of a job and another band.
Dave Hair played bass (unsuccessfully) for a brief while in late 1985, but was shown the door pretty fast. He was the only bassplayer in PG's history.

Incidently, the title of that Unrest album is a reference to a Pussy Galore song called "Fuck Ian Mackaye" that they would play live, provoking much hostility from the Dischord fans.
"Fuck Ian Mackaye" was originally a Shithaus song under a different title and had no lyrics to speak of.
