London, United Kingdom (1989 – present)
Daisy Chainsaw formed in London in 1989. Their live gigs included vines and rag dolls strewn across the stage and KatieJane Garside thrashing around in soiled gowns drinking pineapple juice from a baby bottle, which was a disturbing yet enchanting look for the quirky starlet.
Their music, a bubbly intense britpunk sound, was a big hit amongst the scene. The band was very successful with their Love Sick Pleasure EP which included the hit “Love Your Money.” They turned down Top of the Pops and even an offer to be signed to Madonna’s Maverick label, later signing to independent One Little Indian. One full album was released, Eleventeen, while KatieJane was still in the band. In 1993, just before leaving the band, KatieJane shaved her head and drilled baby doll heads onstage - the act was becoming more and more violent. She finally left the band for good that year and disappeared from the music industry.
After the departure of Garside, Daisy Chainsaw proceeded to make one more full length album titled For They Know Not What They Do with Belinda Leith on vocals, and one more EP titled You’re Gruesome with Crispin replacing Leith before splitting for good.
The new millennium saw KatieJane Garside and Crispin Gray musically reuniting to form Queen Adreena, an outfit which has since produced three records.

People are tagging this as grunge? My personal favorite description of the band is the "Kate Bush meets Big Black" comment that I saw in an article posted on a fan site.

What's with all the hatred for Belinda Leith? She may not have had the personality or energy that KatieJane did, and she may have been a little too reserved for her own good (I heard that she left the band after suffering from extreme stage fright), but that doesn't make her terrible. "For They Know Not What They Do" is still a solid album: Belinda had a charming Siouxsieish voice and Crispin was still writing great riffs. Don't get me wrong, I do prefer KatieJane's voice and approach and I consider Eleventeen to be one of my all time favorite albums but writing off the later material completely is a little silly. Is it due to some absurd fan devotion to KatieJane? I know some of her fans tend to be a little obsessive. Do you think she really cares?

i bought this tape in high school because i saw they were on the same label as bjork...i wore it out and had to buy the cd...they were one of the last few bands who embraced the "freak" tag, and wore it well...i miss those bands, where the music and look was just odd
