Orchidalgia was founded in 1991 by Dale Hickey and Casey White. The name comes from medical terminology, and means "pain in the testicles". Orchidalgia lasted for a period of four weeks during the summer of 1991 and recorded one cassette worth of material.

Orchidalgia had written only one song called "Encephilitis" (by Casey) when members joined with Michael Vile (Andy Warstar) and Tammy Shampoo to create a four piece punk band. The music was characterized by Dale's dabbling in the occult, both Dale and Michael's experimentation with LSD, Casey's being an ex-skinhead and thinking everyone was gay, and Tammy's wanting to play the flute in every song, having purple hair, and being depressed.
