They formed in 1983, going through a number of membership changes over the years. They continue to perform today, most notably each Saint Patrick's Day at First Avenue (nightclub)|First Avenue .
The band's name comes from Leyden's ballad of "Lord Soulis" as recounted in Albion: A Guide to Legendary Britain, recorded by Boiled in Lead on their first album, Boiled in Lead , as "The Man Who Was Boiled in Lead".
Their first album contained primarily traditional music, much of it Celtic, as well as a cover of "Over Under Sideways Down" by Yardbirds|The Yardbirds . With the addition of Robin "Adnan" Anders on drum set and percussion in 1986, the band's sound changed: not only did their repertoire include a wider variety of traditional music (African, Hungarian, Serbian, Egyptian, Swedish, Macedonian and Turkish for example) as well as original songs written by band members and even by Jane Yolen , Adam Stemple's mother, but the music came to draw stylistically from other sounds. (The band recognized this, their third album having a note on the back saying "File Under: Celtodelic Rock 'n' Reel".)
