7 December 2023 - Danielle Dax - Cat House

You may have never heard of Danielle Dax.   That's a damn shame and I am going to remedy that situation now.  She's been sitting in my drafts for so long, it was time to do that.

Dax was previously in a band called the Lemon Kittens, and went solo in the early 1980s.  She self-released a few albums, and finally got a US record deal in 1988.  She released the album Dark Adapted Eye in 1988, which was mostly a repackaging of her 1987 album Inky Bloaters.  "Cat House" has only previously appeared on a compilation album, so it was a new single....

....and it ended up being a club hit.  Dax's combination of dance sensibilities and Middle Eastern inspired beats made for a unique sound.  

Dax went into musical retirement in 1995 and became a renowned interior designer.  She returned to performing in 2017, sporatically.  We hope to see her live soon.
