I have all of DD's albums on vinyl, and saw her in Toronto in late 80's, I think. She was awesome!! She is great live, and I wish her music was available on cd at a reasonable price. She is great!
Toyah had a thing with Robert Fripp, they may still even be together, dunno. I first became aware of Danielle Dax when I was working as a DJ in the eighties and was sent three 12" vinyl singles in '85, '87 & '88. Loved 'em, still have those singles. I can remember doing a wedding reception near Twickenham (I'm from Greenwich) where all the guests kept requesting Danielle, which made me grateful for those singles. Only now have I become aware of her bigger career and it's good. Hope she's well.
Do not let the hair fool you- she's a genius. awesome songwriting, pours her heart into it . Plays a hell of a lot of instruments. Not unlike Prince, or dare i say it- Freddie Mercury? Any babe who can rise to the top is a kick ass force. Shit, she _sounds_ like Brian May..
Those of us who love her work, we are VERY aware of her.
...wearing public school boys in charge of music at the BBC then )Rock music for all the boys-club bad-ass extremes is in reality as conservative, in its own way, as coven of maiden aunts; If this is true for the boys, its doubly true for the girls.
She always put me in mind of Strawberry Switchblade I think there are some parallels there, though I know they were also very different ( S.S. la-la-ed their way through their songs of darkness and despair ) They both however, tried to square the circle between art and commercialism and were caught between a rock ( should that be just rock ) and a hard place, the narrowness of the rock/pop audience and the narrowness of the rock/pop media/business. ( not to mention the tank top wearing..

Fuck what, its just that guys fancied them and all us goth girls wanted to be them. Music of both was and is crap though, I think w all have to admit that
I signed up for a youtube acct just to say that Danielle Dax IS NOT DEAD! Her myspace page is maintained by her longtime collaborator Karl Blake, who notes in the blog she was to do some performances in 2007 but became ill. He has posted updates since then. She is most definitely not dead, but awaiting rebirth in London. Anyone see any of her performances in 2006? (in the UK and France)
I remember vividly, seeing her in consert in London back in the 80's. I had forgotten what a beautiful woman she was. And what a hell of a show she could put on. All the best to her...
I beg to differ. White Knuckle Ride is rather conventional (dare I say boring?) rock music. Check out Hammerheads and Pariah. It is this early, creative, unique stuff she produced that is testimony to her genius.
Danielle-where art thou today? I did not like your later stuff as much as your earlier experimental stuff on labels like "Red[something]...maybe Dot? I hoped you would not go down the sudden "looking cute and sounding new-wavey dance,then disappear"route,but I guess you did.The only "anglo-saxon femme fatale" I've loved all these years and always will is my dear Kate Bush.
I'm speechless!
