Freak Party was the short-lived Manchester funk band that consisted of future members of The Smiths. Its members were schoolmates, Johnny Maher (later known as Johnny Marr) on guitar, Andy Rourke on bass, and Simon Wolstencroft, later of The Fall (and briefly a drummer with the Smiths), on drums. The band broke-up because they could not find a decent singer. In addition to the fact that Marr did not want to continue with the funk set up any longer.
