@ Eisenwurst & Catfish...

I'm also a huge fan of Divinyls. I first heard of them when their first studio album came out; I was in the late, lamented Sunset Strip Tower Records store when one of their songs was played on the store's PA. When I hear songs for the first time, I usually don't really pay attention to the lyrics, preferring to concentrate on the music's instrumentation. The song had a compelling opening hook and, when the vocalist started, I took notice of a very different voice than on other rock or pop songs. Then I really took notice of the lyrics, dark, intimate, and, perhaps, from a personal place. There are songs that make you want to pay attention and this was one of those songs. After the song finished, I immediately went to the customer service counter and asked the name of the group and if they had the album in stock: Divinyls and yes, they did. I bought the album (I think I actually bought it as a cassette tape) and listened to it over and over again, and, in the following years, I sought out any work they put out...

Chrissy was an exceptional performer who didn't just sing songs, she acted the songs and conveyed the core of the lyrics. The songs she wrote or co-wrote are some of the best songwriting of the period and her songwriting skills were/are grossly overlooked. She was indeed a force of nature...

This is the song that got my attention that day in Tower Records...

Indeed. She was in a turbulent relationship with her long time partner and fellow band member.

Plus the band did a lot of gigs in Sydney's Northern Beaches area- the breeding ground of some big name bands ( at least in Australia ) "Midnight Oil" "INXS" "Mental As Anything" and probably a few more I've forgotten. The Northern Beaches has a distinct character different from the rest of Sydney, it's hard to define to foreigners, but it's viewed as being a bit "strange". A lot of "suffering" if you have to live and work there.

All artists suffer for their art, I know I do.

Os Mutantes - I Feel Little Space Out

The three octave lady.
To be honest, I like her better with her eyebrows than without them. Of course her singing isn't affected.
