Ray Mayhew is perhaps best known in music history as being the mad drummer for pop-cyberpunk band Sigue Sigue Sputnik from 1983 to 1990.
When Sputnik disbanded in 1990 he quickly formed Mayhem Deranged – a vehicle for Ray to show his abilities both as a singer & a songwriter.
Early versions of “50 Megaton Love” and “Kept Woman” featuring John Liesk on guitar were recorded during 1990.
Later that year guitarist Kevin Prockter comes on board and a large body of material is amassed until mid 1993.
Regrettably, the master recording sessions never took place and the demos were shelved until recently.

Another albums worth of material was written in 1996 with a new line up and an all new sound.
Again, masters were not achieved and all the material shelved.

Ray sporadically performs in a variety of different incarnations of Mayhem Deranged over the years since, most of it under the radar.

In January 2005 saw Ray pick up his drum sticks once more to play for Martin Degville's project - “Sputnik 2” at a special gig at the Highbury Garage.
And so perhaps the time was right to re-evaluate Mayhem Deranged?

In March 2008, guitarist Kevin Prockter returns to the group and bassist Robert Godfrey is added to record new track “Here I Go Again” at Berry Street Studios.

With Kevin committed to other projects, Ray was briefly joined by The Diodes guitarist John Catto and The Modern drummer Bob Malkowski to play what became the bands first official public gig in September 2008.

There has been an almost Spinal Tap air about the succession of drummers that have helped us along the way so far:
Viviana, "Igor", Chris Nugent & Will Spurling...and we love you all!

The band are currently working on new material for release in 2012...
