Petting Party

I think this video explains the sort of state I’d like to get in tonight….

Daisy Chainsaw were a band seemingly on the verge of drug-induced madness from the darkest depths of the ’90s. They imploded some time around ‘95 after releasing one album, Eleventeen, which has been difficult to buy on and off in the intervening years. Luckily, now Amazon has their whole “used and new” schtick you can spend a lot less time hunting it down than I did!

When Daisy Chainsaw broke up, the singer Katie-Jane Garside, and the guitarist Crispin Gray went on to form the more rocky outift Queen Adreena. I had the opportunity to see them perform some years back. Actually, I saw them twice because the first time round she was so OUT OF HER MIND on what appeared to be a heady cocktail of mind-bending substances, that after about 3 songs she couldn’t even stand up and they had to bring out a chair for her to sit on. Upon the chair she performed maybe one or two songs whilst ‘full-body gurning’. She then got up and proceeded to attack the guitarist before running off stage and the gig was canceled. To give the girl full credit she continued to sing beautifully throughout all of this. They rescheduled the gig and so we dutifully returned. This time she seemed only pissed and was spitting out her drink into the faces of the front of the crowd. In retaliation their hands were all over her like grubby paws and I swear on my life they were totally touching her up (hands inside pants kinda way) and she was loving it!

Anyway, apologies for the quicko blog, I have to get to work.
