Danielle Dax - Bad Miss M- Danielle Dax Live. DVD. (Cherry Red DVDs - CRDVD111) The first ever DVD to feature Britain’s queen of Psychedelia, Danielle Dax. A performer whose enigmatic and experimental work reflected the strong influence of Biblical mysticism and Middle Eastern musical textures, Danielle Dax was born in Southend, England. She made her musical debut in 1979 as the keyboardist in the seven-piece Amy Turtle and the Crossroads; and then went on to front the Lemon Kittens. Upon the Lemon Kittens' 1982 split, Dax mounted a solo career. She debuted a year later with Pop-Eyes, a true solo effort for which she wrote and performed every song alone, even handling mixing and production duties and distributing the record through her own Awesome label. While her heavy makeup and colossal hair aligned her with the thriving "Batcave" Goth scene, she steadfastly avoided easy pigeonholing, even making the leap into film with appearance's in Neil Jordan's Brithorror hit The Company of Wolves. Dax returned to music in 1984 with the Jesus Egg That Wept EP, and went on to recruit a live band, emerging as a significant concert draw; a series of singles including 1985's "Yummer Yummer Man," 1986's "Where the Flies Are," 1988's "Cat-House" and 1989's "White Knuckle Ride" - each slightly more commercial than the last - also established her as a force on the independent charts, and after the success of 1987's 'Inky Bloaters' LP, she signed to Sire. 'Bad Miss M' captures a full show Danielle played in London at the height of her mid-1980’s solo success. Amongst the tracks featured are the aforementioned 'Yummer Yummer Man'.
