27 Devils Joking was a music group started in 1985 in Santa Fe, New Mexico by former Delinquents (an Austin punk band that recorded with Lester Bangs) member Brian Curley. Brian started out on bass and vocals, with Chip Holz on drums, and Jamie Bigelow on guitar. One of the few hardcore punk bands in New Mexico at the time, 27 Devils Joking played a seminal part in the New Mexico punk scene. Each release from them took the band in new directions, eventually being on the forefront of the grunge scene until their demise in 1993.
