Originally the flamboyant frontman of key grebo scene band, Gaye Bykers on Acid, Mary Mary changed his name temporarily to Mary Byker when he played a part in Martin Atkin's industrial supergroup, Pigface. This led to Mary Mary forming Hyperhead with bassist Karl Leiker and recording an album featuring a number of Pigface luminaries. The album was produced by Noko 440, which led, in turn, to Mary Mary singing on two Apollo 440 albums.
