Daisy Chainsaw were an English band, that were active between 1989 and 1995.
Career
The band formed in 1989 after KatieJane Garside answered an advertisement placed by guitarist Crispin Gray in the music press. Their gigs included grapevines and rag dolls strewn across the stage, and Garside thrashing around in soiled gowns drinking juice from a baby bottle.
The band was successful with their "LoveSickPleasure" EP which included the hit single, "Love Your Money" - primarily due to prime time appearances on ITV's The Chart Show and Channel 4's The Word. However, they had to decline appearing on BBC TV's Top of the Pops because Garside had a throat infection. "Love Your Money" reached number 26 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1992.
Turning down an offer to be signed to Madonna's Maverick record label, they later signed to the indie label, One Little Indian. The follow up singles "Pink Flower" (UK number 65) and "Hope Your Dreams Come True" flopped, as did Eleventeen (UK Albums Chart number 62). In 1993, Garside left the band.
After the departure of Garside, Daisy Chainsaw released a second album, For They Know Not What They Do, with Belinda Leith on vocals, and one more EP titled "You're Gruesome" with Crispin Gray replacing Leith before splitting up.
An episode of Roseanne mentioned the band, as one of Darlene Conner's favorites.
After the split of Daisy Chainsaw, a band named Dizzy Q Viper was formed, made up of previous Daisy Chainsaw members, Gray, Adams and Johnson. After Dizzy Q Viper, Vapid Dolly was created, and this band was made up Dizzy Q Viper members with the addition of Hanayo as lead vocals. The new millennium saw Garside and Gray musically reuniting to form Queen Adreena.
