Thanks to Marc Almond’s mention of her in “Tainted Life: The Autobiography”, I became curious enough to track some of her music down. Crazy stuff. Just…crazy. To describe her sound in the most basic sense I can, I’ll use a comparison my usual audience may grasp easily: vocally, she’s like the Nina Hagen/Lene Lovich of the ’50’s, but that comparison is admittedly a disservice. It’s huge, wonderful, completely over-the-top stuff. I’m in love. Read about her on the site, and dig up some music if you can (or hover in my general vicinity sometime soon…I’m sure I’ll be playing the hell out of it.). Wow.
