From the fall of 1976, the band recorded several recordings with experimental music under the name The Spiders and The Hard Rose, which were released as small editions of cassettes. From 1978 they played punk rock with English lyrics. Renamed Rabies in 1979, the band played a number of appearances in clubs, basements , squats , autonomous centers, and at festivals . In 1982 rabies officially dissolved, but actually changed its name to The Comics and published nine albums under this name from 1983 to 1993 with initially German and from 1986 English texts. In 1997 they got together again in honor of their deceased friend Simon "Siebzig" Buchberger (former singer of the Munich punk band Scum ), recorded two songs and performed again. In 2011 there was a live reunion in the Munich Theatron with members from various casts from the 80s and 90s.

The band also wrote songs about the political action group Freizeit 81 , which, like rabies, came from the Munich scene. In 1997 a sampler on early Munich punk music was published under the title Freizeit '81. EP's from Munich. The mother of all samplers! .

Former rabies front man Michael Sailer also played on Dead City Radio as well as Rivolta and V2-Schneider .
